Well looking at thier 'charts' I see only 1hp and 1Tq increase on the Dodge and a 2.5MPG increase...hmmmm

Also, I notice it wasn't tested on any gas trucks...

I actually saw this muffler on Horsepower TV about 3 months ago. They were installing it on an F150, and like I said, I hate to admit it, but it actually sounded pretty good. I actually considered it when I bought my truck, but then heard about the Banks....eventually I went with a Flowmaster muffler only.

Don't get me wrong...the sound clip of it on there page sounds pretty good! But I didn't really see anything there performance wise and do find it hard to believe they got lil hp and tq gains but upped mileage by as much as they claimed.....

Kinda reminded me of the 'Tornado'

Yes, and I think people need to be careful to distinguish better performance from break-in from better performance from aftermarket exhausts & intakes. I have stock intake & exhaust at 4,400 miles and I just got a tank at 16.7 MPG after consistently running about 15MPG previously. So I think it would have been easy for me to get an after-market exhaust at about 4,000 miles and say "WOW, almost 2 MPG better" when the improvement is actually due to break-in.

Seem to be pretty selective about the RPMS they disclose results for. Did you notice that the curve on their home page starts at 5,000 RPM? Anybody that trys to sell any of this junk to me will need to have dyno results before and after including 0 - 3000 RPM. Are they trying to hide something?
