State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—637—1 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code CT—Engineering Performance Header 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—02—003; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Performance Header System, manufactured and marketed by CT—Engineering of 3239 Monier Circle, Suite 5, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 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 the 1991 through 2008 model year Honda Motor Corporation vehicles listed in Exhibit A (attached). Vehicles originally equipped with a close coupled catalyst are excluded. For the RSX and Civic (2002 through 2004 model years only) models listed in Exhibit A, the Performance Header System are made up of a one—piece, short tube style header manufactured out of 16 gauge stainless steel tubing. Individual cylinder tubes transfer the exhaust gases into a collector tube. For all other vehicle models in Exhibit A, the Performance Header System is made up of a short tube style header and connecting Y¥—pipe manufactured out of 16 gauge stainless steel tubing. In both cases, the location(s) of the oxygen sensor(s) are unchanged from the original stock configuration. On vehicles where the existing oxygen sensor wire loom does not reach the new oxygen sensor location, CT—Engineering will provide a wire loom extension that will plug into the factory connector. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Performance Header System will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Performance Header System advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Performance Header 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 apply to any Performance Header System advertised, offered for sale, or sold with or installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. — Marketing of the Performance Header System using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Performance Header System for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the Performance Header System shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device.: This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Performance Header System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on carryover of the following submitted emissions test data on a 2002 RSX Type—S certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Low Emission Vehicle (LEV II LEV) emission standards: Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure NMOG CO NOx HCHO Standards 0.075 3.4 0.05 0.015 Device w/ dfs 0.046 1.1 0.03 0.001 Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP USO6 Cycle Only) NMHC+NOx CO Standards 0.14 8.0 Device 0.02 1.6 Test results showed that tailpipe emissions with the Performance Header System installed on the vehicle met the vehicle‘s applicable emission standard during the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure and the SFTP USO6 cycle. This Executive Order is also based on an examination of the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD I1) system of the vehicle in the modified configuration. Test data showed that the Performance Header CT—ENGINEERING — PERFORMANCE HEADER SYSTEM — D—637—1

System when installe‘d'on the vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. In addition to the foregoing, the Air Resources Board 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 PERFORMANCE HEADER SYSTEM. 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.
