    Anyone know which is the best? I want to say there's BD, PDI and Full Tilt (Pittsburgh power) to choose from. Already have the BW171702

    We put a ceramic coated bully dog, which I believe is made by full tilt, on an ISX 870 a few months ago, EGTs are down 100-150 degrees, seems to be helping on fuel mileage too. We ordered it off Jeg’s, it showed up two days later.

    Just ordered the Full Tilt yesterday. If you need the low mount, Fitzgerald’s has the best price. It should be here tomorrow, and my BW turbo came in today. I can’t wait.

    Oh nice I didn't realize they were the same lol. Pittsburgh power has been them for 1450, how much are they from Fitz?

    Edit: Looks like Firz only sells the center mount type. Mine is offset towards the front of the engine.

    Bully dog, Pittsburgh Power and full tilt are the same, that's what I have, a friend of mine got his from PDI it's supposed to be a slightly better than full tilt but, I won't pay the extra money for it, you would never notice the difference, Full Tilt got my EGR 100 to 150 cooler so did my friends PDI, also there's two PDI, the cheap one is nothing but a Cat manifold a little bigger inside, but it started life as a cat, the expensive one from PDI is actually their own design and better material.
