High pressure crossover line?

Was wondering if these lines are worth the investment.

Worth every penny IMO. It completly balances the HPOP pressures between the cylinder heads. Makes for a much smoother, quieter idle. No help in extra power. Just make sure that when you install the hose that it isn't "S" shaped when you tighten down the couplers. It needs to be a perfect upside down rainbow shaped when it's tighened down. Failure to make it that way will cause it to bubble and bleed oil at the end where the couplers are.
Of cource there is the solid line available now that wasn't when I bought mine..... I don't remember where to get it right now.

I swtiched to the Stainless Steel HPX and no problems. ITPDiesel has them.

Thanks PsNut, The Black Cloud is the one I had orginally looked at. I can only find the one for 97 and before at ITP, and nothing from Tymar.

ITP sells the SS HPX 94-2003's. My original hose type from Diesel Manor began to leak after 8 months or so and I switched to the SS HPX. I have even removed it a couple of times to get to my turbo and re-installed it, still no leaks.
I highly recommend the SS HPX.

Thanks HeatStroked. I may have miss read the add. I'll check it out again. I do remember the picture and it seem to have an upward arch, I am assuming you don't have air bubble problems? Kwik mentioned to mount the (hose type) in a downward arch.

If you have a '99 on it goes down into the valley. I think that the hard, stainless steel ones go over the top on the OBS trucks.
