Mine works great!!!
I use it as a paper weight to keep all my notes next to my computer.
That is the only place I could mount it to make it work. It didn't do a thing for my truck.

Do not do it! Those things make no perceived power except in your head! They have been PROVEN by a couple of guys in this post that they are nothing but crap, and may actually reduce power a bit!!
I read all the posts about them, I was warned not to get it!! So what did I do? Spent money and got one!! What a waste!! No increase in power at all, or mpg's, and just an annoying whistle at various throttle/power positions. If you don't take my word for it, just do a search on power towers, or Poweraid's. Almost everyone here is of the same consensus that they make very good, and expensive, paperweights!!

Whatever it's called, it DOES NOT WORK!!!! Save your pennies for a mod that actually makes a difference.
