I still have the Silencer Ring installed and I know a lot of folks run the Silencer Ring MIA. Understanding there really isnt any performance gain why do folks run it MIA? Just purely for the whistle? How loud is it? Any long term impact by running ring MIA?Thanks in advance

Whistle...

Just purely for the whistle?

Yeap...

How loud is it?

Not to bad with a BHAF loud enough that you know your spooling up...

Any long term impact by running ring MIA?

Well I'm at 158K miles and pulled mine out at 50K miles... I'm pulling 25.3 MPG max MPG and 21-22 MPG avg MPG...

Thanks in advance

Comments in blue...

before i removed the factory box for the bhaf, i wouldn't hear the turbo until ~2400-2600rpms. after i could hear it at 1650~1750rpms. i took my ring off about 1500m ago. if its quiet outside(i work at night) i can hear i pick up just above idle. during the day you can't hear it below 1200rpms. it is worth mentioning that i have stock exhaust and sound system. the radio easily drowns it out.

I like my Cummins quiet. I spent a full day and $300+ in materials to quiet down my truck cab. Made a good difference. There is no way to silence these motors but it does make phone calls easier.

It sounds wicked awesome.... Just a little reminder that there is a pressurized fan spinning at an insane RPM just up front....

its amazing to think that turbo can spin 100,000RPM +

I am guessing that your never planning a aftermarket turbo install then...... Because if you like quiet then you'll never handlle the sweet sound of a S300 framed charger singing at full song........Andy

Hey, I'm pretty sure he has twins on his rig!!!! Later, Winslow

I'm running stock box, ring still in... with the big exhaust & straight through muffler... this truck is not quiet! I'm not into blasting audio so I can hear the turbo as soon as it kicks in... until the exhaust rumble drowns it out.Russ

This is what I use in my rig, no possible way to make it any quieter. 1 Turn up the volume on the radio/CD. 2 http://www.blueparrott.com/products/blueparrottb250XT.html

I'm considering taking out the silencer. I like hearing the turbo build boost, but will I hear a whistle while cruising?- low speed? highway speed?

After 7 years of listening to it constant whistle at 300-500 miles trips... It gets rather old... So Sad to say my ring was re-installed. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1039

Take it out, see if you like it, put it back in if you don't. My turbo whistle never gets old and I wish it were 10x louder.

Is it hard to take the ring out, or hard to re install?

Hard to take out but I can get mine out in no time flat...

2 flat heads got mine out really quick. i had mine out until i took the muffler off. it was okay for daytime, but working nights...you could hear me coming from over 1/2mile away. i would wake everyone up. i put it back in.(for now )

I just took mine out a few weeks backHaven't driven it enough with the other issues I have been havingbut first impressions was I liked it better with it in ...........

took it out a coupla months ago and loved it. now i don't really hear it any more, kinda got used to i guess.

Took mine out and put it back-in, atleast 1/2 dozen times, Could not hear any diff, (but my hearing isn't to good:thumbup2:) So the way I see it,,,,, is,,,,,ANYTHING, that smooths / cut's tublance in the incoming air is a good thing:smart:...................Mines staying in:thumbup2:

Yeah... I like mine out but that's me... I only really hear it up a grade, under a good size load, or 20+ psi, and next to a wall If you don't like it, put it back... it is not hard with a flat heat to take out, and not hard to put it in either.
