Right now you've got 3 options, RIPP, Hesco and Avenger. The RIPP is well documented on this board, both through RIPP themselves and various members who've got them (I just started my write up of my RIPP experience) and the Hesco while not nearly as popular or as well documented on this board, has quite a few kits on the road, with some pretty good feedback. The Avenger is new and not much is known about how it actually performs.

RIPP has over 50k on their test vehicle with no engine problems. I don't know much about how the Hesco units are holding up, but again they seem to have a pretty good reputation. I'd say if you did manage to blow your engine up with one and tried to get it repaired under waranty your dealer would laugh you right out the door. The only one I've done much homework on is the RIPP kit and it delivers improved gas mileage. I can't chime in on my own personal experience as to how much, because I've had it in only a few days.

So your best bet would be to do a search for the above names and start reading up and asking questions.
