Palmetto Park Road, Suite 303N, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, 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 all 2003 model—year and older diesel and gasoline powered vehicles. The Cool Kit consists of aluminized fiber glass insulation to be applied to air filter housing, intake tubing, exhaust manifold, turbocharger, and intercooler. An aluminized fiber glass insulation with an adhesive backing is used for application to the air filter housing, intake tubing and intercooler. All seams in the adhesive backed insulation are sealed with adhesive backed aluminum tape. An aluminized fiber glass insulation with a metallic mesh base is used to wrap the turbocharger and exhaust manifold. The metallic mesh base protects the fiber glass insulation from abrasion. No emission related components are modified or relocated in the installation of the Cool Kit. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Cool Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Cool Kit, 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 Cool Kit 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 Cool Kit using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Cool Kit 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 Cool Kit may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is issued based on an engineering evaluation which shows that the Cool Kit would have no adverse impact on emissions or on the function of the emission control system components of the vehicles upon which it would be installed. 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. 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 THE COOL KIT. 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 a ten—day 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 shall 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.
