These are like catch cans. Absolutely no need for them, they just make more work for you to clean them and dispose of the mess and you have to pay them for it. If you care about clean air keep your Datsun tuned up.

 

CO2 Reduction

Laboratory test results show decreases of carbon dioxide (CO2) up to 12%. CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas and is the primary cause of man-made global warming.

 

Well that's bullshit. CO2 is a colorless gas not a particulate. No filter in the world will catch this. The molecule is 232pm (picometers) wide. A picometer is 10-12 meters wide. 0.000,000,000,001. How will that be trapped by a a filter that is only a hollow tube???

 

 

 

Gas Mileage & Cost Savings

Laboratory testing using the EPA 511 Protocol shows gas mileage increases of as much as 12%. Consumer experiences conducted on a wide variety of cars, light duty trucks and SUV’s in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America have resulted in gas mileage increase up to:

  • 34% on 4-cylinder cars, e.g. Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, Ford Focuses, etc.fuel-level.jpg
  • 21% on light duty trucks and SUV’s, e.g. GMC 2500s, Chevy Avalanches, Range Rovers, etc.
  • 16% on dual exhaust 8-cylinder sedans, e.g. Lincoln Town Cars, Crown Victorias, etc.
  • 24% on 10 cylinder Box-style trucks, e.g. U-Haul moving trucks.

More bullshit. If this thing does remove particulates at the end of the exhaust pipe how does this, in any part of our 11 dimensional string theory universe, translate into better mileage???

Particulates soon settle to the ground. CO2, NO, CO, HC are gasses, greenhouse gas molecules, so small no filter will collect them. So all you really collect is carbon.  That 'filter' is an open tube, so just how much actually goes through the filter material? Not too damn much.

How would they be able to put the sniffer tube into the exhaust pipe with these on for the emissions test? Last time I took mine for emissions, they said it was not emitting anything out of the pipe and tried to fail the truck...had to get out and show them to insert the sniffer into the exhaust pipe in the middle of the stainless tip...not between the tip cover and the side of the exhaust pipe, lol

I have used it myself and it captured a significant amount of PM. CO2 i believe its reduced due to the optimization of consumption. If it allows you to drive more miles and use less gas, it effectively reduces the co2 by a proportion amount to the gas you do not burn. To my knowledge, it seems to regulate the flow and consumption of your vehicle. It works. Ive cleaned out 4 filters worth of PM. And i have them stored in 2 containers. The amount filtered was during the course of 12 - 18 months in both occasions. They cost around £50 in Gibraltar for the complete module, the filters are cheaper at £15.
