First of all THANK YOU to everyone who has posted I will probably PM a few of you for further help. The ONLY reason why I want to stop these guys is to protect everyone from this. There are laws in place for breaking the patent, while I'm not sure what the penalties are, I can probably find out. Just knowing that someone claims they invented the stacks through the bed just makes my head hurt. Especially since they've been doing it for years. Again, thank you all for helping out.

I'd like to see if the photographer has a date stamp on that photo somewhere....Or maybe they have a website that has the date when it was posted even.

I think I will call these guys, and see what and if they can help with this.

Yes Matt that would work. Like it was mentioned it does not specify "diesel" exhaust.

If your friend can give us the dates off the back, or whatever...that would be a huge help!
Pictures them self especially digital pictures can have the date changed. So these post to websites that automaticly keep track of the dates are a HUGE advantage for us. It is nearly impossible to change the posting date on these kinds of websites.
One thing I want to make perfectly clear, Grand Rock, MBRP, nor Silverline are applying for a patent for the through bed exhuast systems. We are trying to prove to the US patent that these two guys are not inventors of this set up. We received an email to our sales at Grand Rock from someone saying "F" you and "F" your "F-in" patent.
Thank you.
