Getting rid of the poorly-executed emissions equipment on these engines would accomplish the same thing without an expensive fancy piston.
actualy I don't think anyone was going to say it because it doesnt make any sence.
emissions may be a garbage set up but they do lower emiaaions, if you take them off emissions will go up so taking them off will not do anything aside from a little bit better milage as the expence of more emissions.
there has been a Canadian company testing these pistons in the engines they remanufacture for almost two years and here are there results
"During testing, DFC Diesel observed fuel consumption reductions of 25% or more with factory tuning, an average of 5% increases in torque and horsepower, NOx reductions as high as 80%, and the ability to extend oil change intervals by 50% due to decreased soot and fuel dilution. Observed benefits also include reduced regeneration cycles, DEF consumption, and visible exhaust/opacity, along with noticeably smoother and quieter operation."

There is more than the cost to measure value. Being able to increase range by 25% is worth something.
I thought that was infered by the increase in fuel milage.....
