Just had Brazel's install new FSD Koni shocks & air bag restrictors, also a new Aero turbine 5050 XL exhaust system yesterday at Quartzsite,AZ. I installed the AFE air filter last year. Wow !!!!!!!!! what a difference. Also I might add, his employee's are very clean,polite, and nice to talk too. I recomend Brazel's to anyone in need of his services. Thanks Jon

Bill, Good to hear. I just installed Koni's and MCU's on mine yesterday. Had to DIY, too far away from Brazels. We leave tomorrow for the south and am looking forward to an improved ride. How does the Aero sound? Louder? I have thought of putting one on and get rid of that grass burning trash can, but am a little skeptical about it. Let me know if fuel mileage improves. Thanks Murray

The Aero muffler is supposed to give you about 10HP and increase your mileage by .5mph.

Good luck

Haven't had a chance to drive it that far yet, only drove it from Brazels shop in Quartzsite to campsite. I could see a big change in the way it handled around curves and on uneven pavement. I leave for Yuma,AZ on 1st of Feb. will repost then.

I have roughly 12k miles on my Aero and aFe air filter. I would like to say I am getting another 1/2mpg. As far as power I have not noticed a significant difference.

1300 miles later and the ride improvement is unbelievable. Handles so much better and not as tiring to drive. The bridge joints are still noisy but no where near as rough, and the passing trucks, barely feel them. The sway is gone and this is one happy camper.
