                                  EXECUTIVE ORDER D—540

                         Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                      of the Vehicle Code

                                     Summit Industries, Inc.
                                       Thorley Headers

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 Sections 39515 and 39516 of the
Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—02—003;

IT 1S$ ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of Thorley Headers manufactured
by Summit Industries, Inc. of 1220 Railroad Street, Corona, California 92882, has been
found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system and,
therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for those
applicable vehicles as listed in Exhibit A of this Executive Order, excluding any vehicle
certified to the Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards or equipped with a close
coupled catalyst.

The Summit Industries, Inc.‘s Thorley Headers are of a long tube style design. Installation
may require the use of a connecting Y pipe. Both the exhaust header and Y pipe are
manufactured out of 14 gage mild steel. On vehicles that are equipped with an oxygen
sensor, the sensor is located either on the header‘s collector or at the top of the Y pipe
similar to the vehicles stock configuration.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this device will not
recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle
manufacturer.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Summit Industries, Inc.‘s Thorley Header
advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or
concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempt by the Air
Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control
system shall invalidate this Executive Order.       ‘

Marketing of this device using any identification other than that shown in this Executive
Order or marketing of this device 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 device
may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.


                                                «2.


This Executive Order is granted based on emission test data conducted by Doug Thorley
Headers (Executive Order D—200—21).

THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION,
ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE
AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING
ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF SUMMIT INDUSTRIES,
INC.‘S THORLEY HEADERS.

No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board," may be made with
respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. The
order may be revoked only after ten days written notice of intention to revoke the order, in
which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the
proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it will be held within ten days of receipt of
the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination is made after the
hearing that grounds for revocation exist.

Executed at El Monte, California, this     __z/r** day of April 2002.
