If you have been looking at the other technologies, they all need to retain as much heat from the engine as possible in order for the catalyst to work properly. A great deal of heat is lost before the emissions even reach the emission control device, it can be as much as 100 degrees lost. You need to take another look at some of the other technologies and how they work:o)

"This new line has the potential to become a leading product in the industry by enabling the highest performing diesel catalyst technology available to be applied to an engine. The demand for the TempMax(TM) has been excellent and we are currently in the process of broadening the demographic to fit other engine and vehicle applications for both on and off-road markets."

From MECA:
"Since the volume of particulate matter generated by a diesel engine is sufficient to fill up and plug a reasonably sized filter over time, some means of disposing of this trapped particulate must be provided. One means of disposal is to burn or oxidize the particulate in the filter, thus regenerating, or cleansing, the filter. This is accomplished through the use of a catalyst placed either in front of the filter or applied directly on the filter, a fuel-borne catalyst, or burners which are used to oxidize or combust the collected particulate."
