(Page 1 of é) State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—508 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code BANSHEE PERFORMANCE RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM 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—45—9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System, produced and marketed by Banshee Performance, 1212 E. Walnut Ave., Orange, Calffornia 92867, has been found not to reduce the éefféectivenessofthe applicable vehicle pollution control systems and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the 1986 to 1993 model—year 5.0 liter V—8 Ford Mustang. The Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System consists of a hood seoop, airbox, an open— element reusable air filter; assorted brackets, tubing, and hardware. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System 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 Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System, 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 ap.ply to any'Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ulitimate purchaser.

BANSHEE PERFORMANCE ‘ ~ EXECUTIVE ORDER D—508 RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM (Page 2 of 3) Enmind Marketing of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System for an application otherthan 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 Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by _the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on a determination that the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System will not adversely affecttailpipe emissions when tested under the _ Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. No systems that affect the Cold Start CVS—75 or running loss emissions are bypassed in installing the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the Ram Jet ColdAir induction Systemadversely affects emissions during off—cycle | conditions (defined asthose conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure}, this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, if such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System will affect the durability of the emission control system, Banshee Performance, shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. In addition to the foregoing, 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 meét the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF BANSHEE PERFORMANCE‘S RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM.

EVALUATION OF BANSHEE PERFORMANCE‘S (extice, RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION Banshee Performance, of 1212 E. Walnut Ave., Orange, California 92887, has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System designed for the 1986 to 1993 model—year 5.0 liter V—8 Ford Mustang. II. CONCLUSIONS Based on an engineeringevaluation of a vehicle with the Ram Jet Cold Air Lrtentsm, Induction System installed, the staff concludes that the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System wifl not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the vehicles for which the exemption is requested. II. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommendsthat Banshee Performance, be granted an exemption for their Rém Jet Cold Air Induction System for installation on the 1986 to 1993 model— year 5.0 liter V—8 Ford Mustang. IV. RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The intent of installing the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System is to increase power output from the engine. The power increase is due to the increase in density of X

the intake air caused by the hood scoop which draws air from outside of the engine compartment. Air in the engine compartment is often hotter than the air outside of the vehicle. The cooler outside air would have a slightly higher density, and supplying the engine with this denser air charge would produce more power. The Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System was designed to be installed on 1986 to 1993 modvel-year 5.0 liter Ford Mustangs. In installing the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System, the hood of the vehicle must be cut to accommodate the hood scoop. The stock‘airbox, and intake tubing are replaced by components of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System. A reusable open—element air filter is used in the airbox supplied with the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System. V. DISCUSSION OF THE RAM JET COLD AIR INDUCTION sYSTEM No testing was required to determine the emissions impact of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System. The Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System does not present an extreme modification. The Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System L—Auo does allowfor an increase in induction efficiency, but unlike a supercharger or turbocharger there is no provision or requirement for fuel enrichment. Therefore, an adverse effect on emissions is not expected. Also, the applicable vehicles subject to this Executive Order are not subject to Low—Emission Vehicle standards or On—Board Diagnostic II requirements, so no testing was required. The staff concludes that the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction‘System meets the criteria for the exemption of general criteria parts. However, the ARB finds that

reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Ram Jet Cold Air Induction System may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions | outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedure. Accordingly, the, ARB Vreserves the right to conduct additiohal emission tests in the future, as such tests are developed. Banshee Performance, has submitted all the required informafion and fulfilled the requirements for an exemption.
