Anyone install an Aero Turbine Muffler on your diesel pusher... which one? Happy with sound level? Any added power, or MPG increase?

Thank guys

Yep,
I installed the Aero 5050XL Stainless Steel straight through one about 2 years ago or so. What a waste of money. I know this coach pretty well and, it's power. It's an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT. I knew what it did on certain grades and flat driving conditions. And, it rarely ever went beyond about 7.5 mpg.

After the install, in Quartzsite AZ at the big RV even there, I was hoping for a substantial increase in all areas. What a let down. All I got out of it was TOO MUCH NOISE. The gas mileage is still 7.0-7.5 depending on what we're doing at the time. The power, the same, on all grades etc. One of the "supposed" benefits of the install of that muffler was that, since it is a straight through design, the engine is supposed to "Spool up" quite a bit quicker at the lower rpms.

Well, if it "spools up" any quicker, you can't tell it by me. In my opinion, for what it's worth, don't waste your money. We hate the additional noise.
