Yeah they are different.... on a stock truck I don't think you would really ever have an issue, I am just mildly concerned about the effects of extra soot on the honeycomb pattern, but time will tell.

I've been running on #4 on the Juice for about 3 years now and I think the Cat is about feed up with all the soot. I think its causing back pressure on the turbo. If I didn't know better I'd swear the spine on the turbo was broke (checked and its not)
