I don't know what system he was running, any details or even if it was switched on.
I think you mean Brent Perrett, he drives a grey GU ute.
On the xtreme4x4 website there was some info on it a couple of years ago, late 2003 I think.
From what I remember, it had 160HP without gas, and 208 with gas. Dynoed at ARB Northside, correct me if I am wrong.
On the last XWC DVD 2004, it didn`t blow any smoke to speak of, but on the photos from this years XWC series, I too have noticed that it blacksmokes a lot.
Propane/LPG should clean the exhaust, my propane-kit does.
I have noticed a different exhaust sound from my truck, it runs smoother and more quite with propane.
