Aeroturbine muffler?

Anybody know where I could get an Aeroturbine 4040XL muffler, as far north as possible?I don't mind ordering unless there's a shop in the Grande Prairie area or possibly Edmonton where I could pick it up.

Calgary Muffler at 58ave & Macleod Tr south is an Aerotubine dealer but they are anything but cheap.
Most diesel performance shops carry Aeroturbine products but they won't be cheap either.

These guys in Spokane are excellent & are an Aeroturbine dealer.

Small shop, good prices, nice guys. I have purchased numerous things from them previously. They do ship small stuff USPS but not sure about a muffler.
Perhaps worth a phone call.

Ok thanks guys yeah that shop in spokane looks good. Too bad I already ordered an MBRP unit from the DTR store... but if I don't like it I'm sure I could sell it and get an Aero. StealthDiesel how loud is yours especially when towing? Inside and out?
Yeah I'm in some great hunting country. I do my best to make the most of it.

Hope you got them to drop ship it for you, will save a bunch of bucks shipping to Canada direct from the Canadian manufacturer.

Hmm not sure about that but whatever Larry did last time I ordered from here was reasonable enough for me.

I don't have an Aeroturbine muffler. I kinda think they are overpriced & I don't buy all the low pressure/high pressure/vortex swirl Aerotubine theory.

If you are not towing, you can run a straight pipe with very little issue, although I don't think the common rails sound very good straight piped.

If you are towing, it all changes. The drone under load up a long hill will drive you nuts. I had my cat out for a few months but that just about caused a divorce.
So it's back in & I have 2 small straight thru mufflers. It's quiet, zero drone while towing & reasonably free flowing.

The 04.5 & newer stock exhaust system is mandrel bent 4" & is just fine other than the muffler.

Well I'm still single so that's one thing I don't have to worry about. But I didn't realize the cat made that big a difference. Most say the cat is good to 500 hp so its probably not something I should worry about.
As for the price the MBRP muffler I ordered was a little more expensive than the Aeroturbine, but whatever, its just money.
