The funny thing with the EFRA is that there are no testreports at all. Not of the homologated exhausts, not of the batteries, not of the bodies etc.
With all noise restrictions the EFRA did not show us the testresults of what the change will give. Even with the 30xx exhausts the only story from the EFRA was that it does not affect engines and there could be a slight power loss. In that year the engines did become hot and some exhausts weren't even giving a good power. But over 40 30xx exhausts were homologated with in a total of about 15.000 euro is earned with the homologation.

The last compleete drawing of an EFRA exhaust was from the 2052, all later models are not listed in drawings and dimensions. How can a technical inspection see or test if it is the right exhaust?

MAN, that is some interesting info there, makes you wonder whats really going on
