no kidding. and I wish I had a nickle for every time some dealer told me he heard from a rep who has a good friend inside the factory who knew someone inside cummins who was close to the engine design team ... . you know the drill. The HP ratings game is fun to watch, to be sure, but I gotta agree that, even if true, the real benefit will be small.
and think about how difficult it will be to even touch that new engine with so much as an exhaust mod. dollars to krispy kremes it will have a CAT of some kind, probably a Fleetguard particulate filter, so not only will an exhaust mod violate the emissions warranty, you'll fail the next emissions test. Of course I'm only speculating here myself, but the way it seems to me, the engines we have now are the last real ones that you can do anything with.
