no, it won't hurt it, just move some low-end torque up through the power band.
Now, you can hurt an engine running nothing at all, as in,( no exhaust headers or
mufflers). And I'm not sure but, I don't think it's safe it is to run straight headers
or manifolds.

Diesels really don't need a lot of back pressure and may help it.
I would highly suggest keeping either the kitty or the muffler as it may be too loud?

when you have a turbo, such as on a psd....any backpressure after the turbo is just hindering performance....

What he said. The less back pressure on a turbo engine the better.
