    VERY cool! But it seems that if they had taken the time to visit the Cummins and Powerstroke BBS's on line, they would have quickly realized that aluminum is unreliable and will always melt in a diesel application (a la Duramax naysayers). [/sarcasm]

    Are the ABEC-5 Muffler bearings the ultra low friction types? I can use a set, I have heard they can help gas mileage by 50%!

    Yes, and the actuator nubbins help enhance the effect when adjusted properly!
