I was thinking of getting the elbow. In one of the Diesel magazines they dynoed it on a stock 06 SD, in other words the elbow was the only mod...it gained 9hp and about the same torque. I have the article somewhere. I'll probly get it if only for the fact it comes with a boost sensor fitting pre-tapped. If I recal correctly they didn't have numbers on fuel economy but they said it "should improve the mileage".

XHunter .. I have the stock 6.0L air intake with the zoodad mod to create better direct airflow ... I'm wondering if you saw any perceptible increase in power, or mileage when you added the Airaid intake ...

I'm sure the intake alone does help with the power but as to how much I'm not sure. As a side note--with only the intake (w/zoodad) and the BD in economy I am getting 4+ mpg increase over stock on the hwy acording to the lie-o-meter. I highly recomend the BD, my brother and I both have it and love it.
