    That new exhaust they came out with work's way better and it's way quieter. We had our exhaust upgraded to that one shown in the video and had our Green APU serviced. I went with one of our driver's who was having the Green APU installed in his Peterbilt and he was like wow that's cool. Huh u let driver's take shower's. And i was like yeah i took one when they was doing one of our new truck's we brought for the company. And he was like BRB went and grab his backpack and he took a shower and even did his laundry. And he was impressed on how it handled. He said this is way better then the one (Not Green APU) Cause the one he had was so loud.
