Curzon Ashton duo James Ogoo and Michael Norton fired in second-half goals as they held off a late charge from 10-man Exeter to record an historic FA Cup upset in a 3-2 win.
Chris Worsley set the ball rolling for Curzon after 26 minutes, before Gambia international Ogoo scored the second 11 minutes after half time..
Norton added a third shortly afterwards, only for Steve Basham and Dean Moxey's late strikes to set up a nervy ending in-between Matt Gill`s red card.
Nearly 100 league places separate the UniBond North outfit and last year's Conference play-off champions, but that counted for nothing when Worsley saw his shot deflected past goalkeeper Paul Jones.
Ogoo unleashed an unstoppable dipping volley, before Norton rounded off a breakaway move in the 79th minute.
Gill saw red for slapping teenager Michael O'Connor before Moxey's late long-range effort.
