Yep, I read that issue of "Diesel Power" and I have to say, I think that truck is pretty ugly. Then again, I do hate lifted trucks, and it has ugly wheels too.

Looks like something I saw on the new Macks.. Good theory, not really much thought in the practicality..

seems like they would be pretty restrictive compared to traditional styles.... so other than looks it kinda defeats the point.... guess you wouldnt have to worry about water too much

Ok, I may not be an engineer or anything, but when you have an exhaust and having it go through a whole bunch of little holes is counter productive. There would be many little vortexes created and it would just not flow. Well, I guess having DPF filter on there does not help matters either, but thats a different story...

I'm guessing that is their idea of a diffuser, like the fords and gm's have on the factory tailpipe.
