I noticed the NOx omission too in some of their results too. On another part of the site, IIRC, they showed that their muffler has little or no benefit with that pollutant, I think. But they posted video (edited video) of a comparative test between just a CAT and the CAT plus their "EV8" ... it shows what it alleges are sceenshots of the toyota's emissions: As for the suspicion about gasses heating the plates that then reduce the gasses, I gather the point is that it seems circular and impossible. But certainly, cleaning out CO2 and other parts of the exhaust's composition does not mean the elimination of ALL the exhaust gas, correct? It's the toxics and other pollutant gasses they want to reduce, there would still be hot exhaust coming out of the tail pipe.

As I said, I'm not interested in buying one. In fact the real reason I posted it here is to subject it to the EM vetting. Sites are so rosy in their representations of their inventions... This thread's vetting now enters the interwebs' search results.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
