| diesel Truck Parts And Accessories exhaust
It's hard not to notice how many vehicles on the road today are turning to diesel fuels for power. We already know diesel engine propulsion systems are used largely overseas, but here in the U.S. they have been slow to climb in popularity. Now that our population is embracing the mostly turbo-inspired motors, we can dive right in the pool of power for them. We wanted to show our readers and owners of diesel trucks a couple of recently introduced items to give you an interpretation of what items can be found in the vast seas of diesel horsepower. Each of the manufacturers listed has plenty more to offer than we could print for this story, so be sure to check out the websites to see what other hot items are available to make you drool for more.
1. AFE '99-'03 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke Exhaust
To complement its 7.3L Power Stroke intake, aFe is now producing an aluminized and stainless steel, turbo-back exhaust system. The new 4-inch mandrel-bent exhaust will improve your truck's airflow, allowing for quicker spool-up of the turbo and lower exhaust temperatures. Those benefits are especially beneficial when running a performance module. Both systems are supplied with an 8-inch-diameter, straight-through muffler and adjustable clamps. Contact aFe, Dept. TR., 191 Granite St., Corona, CA 92879, (806) 503-9911, www.afefilters.com.

Designed for heavy towing and performance, the ATS Aurora twin turbo will make your 5.9L Cummins come alive. Each turbo complements the performance of the other and allows quick spool-up with extended tip compressors that generate high airflow without high-mileage fatigue. Combined with a properly flowing air intake and exhaust, ATS Aurora twins will deliver massive power with low EGTs. Contact ATS, Dept.
