State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—489—3 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code Weapon—R Competition Products Secret Weapon Intake Systems Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 and Section 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—02—003; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems, produced and marketed by Weapon—R Competition Products, of 180 Sylvester Road, South San Francisco, California 94080, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control systems and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the vehicles listed in the attached Exhibit A. The Secret Weapon Intake Systems include the following main components: open— element reusable air filter, intake system tubing, assorted brackets, and hardware. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Secret Weapon Intake Systems will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Secret Weapon Intake System advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Marketing of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

This Executive Order is granted based on emission test results in the modified configuration using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure, Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (USO6), and an examination of the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) systems. A 2007 Chevy HHR with a 2.4 liter engine (7GMXVO2.4029, LEV—II LEV) and 2007 Honda Civic with a 1.8 liter engine (7HNXVO1.8MKR, LEV—I1 ULEV) were used for the evaluation of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems. Results from emissions testing conducted at Automotive Testing and Development Services, are shown below (in grams per mile): 2007 Honda Civic 1.8 liter FTP NMOG CO NOx HCHO 50k (DF applied) 0.025 0.36 0.023 0.001 50k STD 0.040 1.7 0.05 0.008 120k (DF applied) 0.033 0.40 0.036 0.001 120k STD 0.055 2.1 0.07 0.011 USO6 NMHC + NOx CO Emission Level 0.035 0.46 STD 0.14 8.0 2007 Chevy HHR 2.4L liter USO6 NMHC + NOx CO Emission Level 0.012 3.3 STD 0.14 8.0 The emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable certification standards. Examination of the OBD II system showed the Secret Weapon Intake Systems do not affect OBD II operation. Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the Secret Weapon Intake Systems meet the criteria for exempting general criteria parts. The ARB reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. Further, if test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Secret Weapon Intake Systems will affect the durability of emission control systems, Weapon—R Competition Products shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of vehicle emission control systems are not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability.

EVALUATION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: Weapon—R Competition Products Name of Device: Secret Weapon Intake Systems Background: ‘ Weapon—R Competition Products of 180 Sylvester Road, South San Francisco, California 94080, has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for the Secret Weapon Intake Systems designed for the vehicles listed in the attached Exhibit A. Recommendation: Grant exemption to Weapon—R Competition Products as requested, and issue Executive Order D—489—3. Device Description: The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are air intake systems specifically designed for installation on the vehicles listed in the attached Executive Order. The installation of the system does not require any major modifications to the stock motor, except for the modification of the factory air intake system to accommodate the Secret Weapon Intake System air filter and plumbing. The filter elements used in the Secret Weapon Intake Systems are open—element, reusable units, designed to be less restrictive than the stock air filter. The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are intended to increase the vehicle‘s volumetric efficiency and power output at particular engine loads and throttle openings. At heavy engine loads and increased throttle openings, the airflow into the engine is increased because the Secret Weapon Intake Systems are less restrictive than stock air filters. This allows more air to enter the engine, which is compensated by the vehicle engine control module with an increase in fuel flow, resulting in a higher power output. Discussion/Basis for the Recommendation: This Executive Order is granted based on emission test results in the modified configuration using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure, Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (USO8), and an examination of the On—Board Diagnostic !I (OBD II) systems. A 2007 Chevy HHR with a 2.4 liter engine (7GMXVO2.4029, LEV—II LEV) and 2007 Honda Civic with a 1.8 liter engine (7HNXVO1.8MKR, LEV—Il ULEV) were used for the evaluation of the Secret Weapon Intake Systems. Results from emissions testing conducted at Automotive Testing and Development Services, are shown below (in grams per mile): Page 1 of 2

2007 Honda Civic 1.8 liter FTP NMOG CO NOx HCHO 50k (DF applied) 0.025 0.36 0.023 0.001 50k STD 0.040 1.7 0.05 0.008 120k (DF applied) 0.033 0.40 0.036 0.001 120k STD 0.055 2.1 0.07 0.011 USO6 NMHC + NOx CO Emission Level 0.035 0.46 STD 0.14 8.0 2007 Chevy HHR 2.4L liter USO6 NMHC + NOx CO Emission Level 0.012 3.3 STD 0.14 8.0 The emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable certification standards. All OBD II system readiness indicators set in the modified configuration, and no diagnostic trouble codes were triggered. Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the Secret Weapon Intake Systems meet the requirements for a VC 27156 exemption for the vehicles listed in attached Exhibit A.
