What year-model truck? The newer trucks with the 5.3L need a little bit of back pressure. That is probably why you lost fuel milage when you went to straight pipes. I think that I lost some on my truck too when I put true duels on my 98'.

so how does the water for gas system work

That fella is just soliciting, I think. Anyways, That motor should run better with no exhaust. But like I said, I have the same motor and I put true duels on it becouse mine collected at the muffler. So I had two new ones put on and pipes built to go out the aft end.

You make a small electrolosis (not that hair removal sh*t) machine which uses two eletrical "probes" to shoot electricity into water. The water will then separate in hydrogen and oxygen. The gases (or just the hydrogen for the best effect) are plumbed into your cars intake. Hydrogen is volitile enough to use as fuel, but in our vehicles it needs alot of it and it has to be used with gas too. So basically look up how to make hydrogen from water (or a hydrogen fuel cell) on the internet. Then you plumb the output gases into the intake tube. I want to try it on a quad or go-cart first. I want to do it on my truck but the amount of hydrogen needed would be great. That much hydrogen would blow your hood off if the gas got loose and found a spark.
