So how does it work?

The profile of a vehicle’s exhaust is not that of a continuous stream. Rather, a vehicle’s exhaust profile is a series of pulses. Changes in the exhaust’s pulse profile and changes in exhaust velocity through the tailpipe have a direct effect on both the catalytic converter and the fuel delivery system.

The Blade, which is installed on the end of the tailpipe, compresses the exhaust pulse profile, thereby reducing the space between the pulses. The patent pending design of the Blade allows this exhaust pulse reduction to adjust over acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle so that the ECU reads within normal tolerances.

According to the tests conducted, Blade reduces emissions, and/or improves fuel economy in three ways: improves the efficiency of the catalytic converter, increases the volumetric efficiency (VE) of the engine and filters gasoline and hydrocarbon particulates, as well as other solid inorganic emissions.

Since the Blade works by attaching it to a car’s tailpipe, the most important thing to check before buying one is if it will fit. A quick checklist:

* Your vehicle has a straight 1 7/8 – 2 inch tail pipe.
* Your vehicle has an exposed straight tailpipe measuring 1 7/8 – 2 inches in diameter.
* You have duel exhaust pipes that are both straight 1 7/8 – 2 inch pipes (in which case you will need two Blades).
* You have a tailpipe larger than 2 1/4 inches. In this case you will need to get a splitter adapter on which you can mount 2 Blades.
* You have two 1 7/8 – 2 inch tail pipes coming out of the same muffler. In this case, you will need to make sure that these pipes are not too close together.

If you’ve checked out the technical details and want to buy it, you need to know that the Blade retails for $199.
