Kind of hard for them to work on the diesel when there is not throttle body. You can not attach them as they are indicated on gassers... Don't waste your money.

Don't believe sdaver. He has 5 of them stacked on his Durmax to gain 100hp. Each claim 20hp, 5 x 20hp = 100hp. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

They sell them here in Little Rock and they are called Helix power towers. He told me 15 hp gains. I couldn't justify spending $150 on 15hp.

I welded one of the spacers in my downpipe. Gained twice as much HP as they claim because now, it sucks the exhaust out faster creating greater efficency and more power!

You can add them anywhere. Turbo Outlet, Intercooler Inlet, Intercooler Outlet, Intake inlet. That should put someone over the 800 mark.

Just called my local performance shop, they're fresh out of stock. Seems this thread has generated quite a feeding frenzy on them. They are on national backorder for about 20 years or so. Guess I'm out of luck on being the first over 800. Shoot, had my heart set on them, too.

I bought two. Ran my ac lines through them. Duct taped them to my cup holders. Keeps two "pops" cold. For after I get home, of course.
