Much more is expected by today's drivers. Brakes must do more than simply stop a vehicle safely — they must do their vital work quietly, smoothly and with an absolute minimum of dust on those stylish alloy wheels. That's a tall order given the size and power of many vehicles on the road today.

But challenges are meant to be met.

The NET Story
Noise Elimination Technology

Friction engineers have taken several different paths to address these tough noise, dust and safety performance issues. Most focus on only two design parameters, such as formulations and noise insulator add-ons, like shims. This "half-way" approach has helped to some degree, but technicians are still left with too many comebacks and unhappy customers.

Half-way is never the Mighty way.

To solve this problem once and for all, Mighty System XL^® engineers start with a "Tier 1" O.E. design pad and then apply as many as eight construction parameters that affect noise and performance on each specific vehicle platform. Factors such as:

• Formulation

• Compressibility

• Chamfers

• Slots

• Shims

Once a new pad design option is developed it is thoroughly tested, first on the dyno — to validate that the new design is quieter than both our current and competitor's products — then in brutal, real-world driving tests under the toughest conditions. Only after we are certain that each new design is the epitome of Silence, Safety and Satisfaction does it earn the Mighty System XL^® name and NET™ stamp of approval.
