Exhaust coupled with a tune on a diesel truck can yield upwards of 100-200hp

Maybe just start pulling valve stems whenever I see one of those stupid jacked up trucks in a parking lot.

Adding a big exhaust and a tune doesn't mean you'll be rolling coal, op's truck is running clean as there is no soot on the bumper but we love jumping to conclusions dont we!

These guys who roll coal are increasingly viewed as pariahs in the diesel community. Black smoke is wasted fuel that didn't get burnt in combustion. Any good tune should minimize smoke to increase efficiency, power, and reduce temps.

Yep.

Of course, Banks isn't well loved in the diesel community either. They're the McDonald's of diesel performance parts.
