Has anyone any experience of this company?

Thay have been on the wheeler dealer show and look like the idea has some grounding.

I'm looking for an exhaust for my 325 and might give them a call.

What do we think?

Looks like the ebay resistor chip mod and the magnet on the fuel line mod sort of complete balls. :P

Im going to call bullshit on this. Its just a free flowing aftermarket exhaust and a lot of smoke.
If they actually had something the site wouldn't be so thin scientifically.

If they actually had something, all cars would be fitted with these from new - the same argument that debunks all miracle gadgets.

True, well there is always the cost argument, some things that really do work are NEV for a road car.
