Really? I did some research and It seems it really all boils down to the electric "match" (thats what where the electrical leads go.) that ignites the and starts the explosion/eruption of the bag. Looks like they're all the same tech; 12v, 1-3 amps.

Technology in front of "match" (sensors, computer manipulation of sensor signal, etc.) can be all over the map and the after the "match", (bag shape, nitrogen composition (fills the bag), positioning, etc.) can vary over the years and from marque to marque, but the electric match is the same tech. across the board as best I can tell.

If anyone knows different, pipe in. I'm also still not sure about the wheel depth and specs for the spline shaft.

Thanks 'burg",
