    The list is long but distinguished
    F'ing Big Muffler has been quietly buying up the tech and squashing it!

    I can't wait to clean out my garage and try the fix. I have a really bad exhaust rattle at 3000 RPM and it's driving me nuts

    I heard ECGS is working on a bronze bushing to replace those troublesome bearings. The price of the high heat lube required to keep muffler bearings in good standing can add up over time. The bushing will eliminate the need to lubricate periodically as well as minimize wear on the turbo encabulator

    I just picked up a set of titanium valve bearings that are supposed to alleviate all of the old muffler bearing flaws. After I get a few thousand miles on them I will write up a report. This is very hush hush tech. for now as the car manufacturers are trying to suppress this. I put stiffer piston return springs in my 2013 and gained 25 more horse power!!
