State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-629-11 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code Spectre Performance Cold Air Intake Systems Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code (VC); 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-14-012; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the Cold Air Intake Systems, produced and marketed by Spectre Performance of 1455 Citrus Street, Riverside, California 92507, 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 Cold Air 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 installation instructions for the Cold Air 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 Cold Air Intake Systems, as exempt by the ARB, 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 Cold Air Intake Systems 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 Cold Air Intake Systems using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Cold Air Intake Systems for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Cold Air Intake Systems may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

-2- This Executive Order is granted based on emission test results in the modified configuration using the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) and an examination of the On- Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) system. A 2012 Nissan Altima with a 2.5 liter engine (test group CNSXV02.585A, LEV-II SULEV) was used for the evaluation of the Cold Air Intake Systems. Results from emissions testing conducted at Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. of Ontario, California are shown below (in grams per mile): 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 liter FTP NMOG co NOx HCHO 15o,ooo mi. Emission Level 0.008 0.7 0.01 0.000 (OF applied) STD 0.010 1.0 0.02 0.004 Emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable certification standards. Examination of the OBD II system showed the Cold Air Intake Systems do not affect OBD II operation . Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the Cold Air Intake Systems meet the criteria for exempting general criteria parts. 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 Cold Air Intake Systems will affect the durability of emission control systems, Spectre Performance 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. 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 SPECTRE PERFORMANCE COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS.
