    Talked to Terry at Full Tilt, he has one on had, its 1600 dollars but there Is a core-exchange program that he has that will return get you some money back if your old manifold isn't cracked or burnt through.

    If you don't see atleast .3 MPG increase or if you don't like it, you can return it. 100% refundable and you will get your old manifold back.

    They would send it to you or to the shop of your choice.

    Oh and he says its like a 6 hour job on a C-13.

    My manifold got .4 MPG increase, 1500 dollar C-15, usually run about 100K at current prices thats $4,000 in savings a year.

    I don't know much about changing the mufflers, Pittsburgh Power would probably know the most.

    Myself I like the ECM tuning, I put a Bully Dog on. Wow that Helps. They are spendy but they will definetly pay for itself.

    and I'd go with the Bully Dog over having your ECM changed because a Bully Dog downloader can't be detected at a shop. So it won't void your warranties. That and it nearly can be changed any time of the day with a laptop and Bully Dogs tech guys. and their tech guys seem to always be there.

    If you spent the $4,400 for both a Manifold and Bully Dog you would probably be getting .75MPG or better.

    Doesn't the Pittsburg Powerbox have like 8 settings available on the fly from the little in-cab controller? It is also undetectable as it is "between" the ECM and the engine.

    The PP box is not undectectable...it has a wiring harness that plugs into the engines harness in plain sight. This system is very obvious and pretty much outdated when used with the modern emission engines. The PP box can not advance the timing and from what I have learned from a select few on here, it actually ####### the timing a tad just due to the injector timing and duration. This system was really good before the downloaders and ECM tuning came around, but now it is outdated and better results can be had with the same money spent on other products.
