  3. Pyrometer Temperatures have dropped as much as 100º

  4. Turbo Charger "Spools" up quicker

  5. Straight stack look. Smooth 5", 6", 7" Baffles fit inside the stacks.

  6. Mileage up from stock. On the trucks tested, Mileage ranged from 6% - 9% increase

  7. All Steel construction

        Trailer: 2000 Stoughton 102" x 53' van LOADED with a 35,000 pound net load

Test was conducted on a concrete road in an Industrial Park with buildings, trees, etc., giving a "REAL LIFE" simulation, NOT controlled lab results. These test are for COMPLETE vehical sound, not just exhuast sound levels. Drive by test was measured @ 50' @ 6' high, with the engine under acceleration at the loudest point of the pull. Engine brakes are still loud with our QP Mufflers. Other engines my be quieter or louder by design.
