Posted January 27, 201312 yr I was wondering if removing it the silencer ring actually gave you more boost or cooler egt? I know it gives you a little more whistle didn't know if there was any other benefit to it. Thanks
January 28, 201312 yr Author Thanks y'all I think today is the day to taker her out and see how she sounds M.I.A.
January 28, 201312 yr Owner Silencer ring...Why to keep it? - If you tow heavy trailer up long grades and like to keep some sanity leave it in.Why pull it out? - If you like lots and lots of turbo whistle noise.As for MPG or HP/TQ there is no change.
January 28, 201312 yr Maybe it's the intake location on the 3rd gen, but mine didn't really get much louder when it was removed. My Garrett doesn't even have an option for one, and it really only sings between 7-15 psi, but still not so loud it's annoying towing.
January 28, 201312 yr Silencer ring... Why to keep it? - If you tow heavy trailer up long grades and like to keep some sanity leave it in. Why pull it out? - If you like lots and lots of turbo whistle noise. my 2001 6spd would really ring my ears when pulling heavy up long inclines at ~20-25psi.. Almost loud enough to be unbearable.. My '97 auto is hardly noticeable, yet both were without silencer ring..
January 28, 201312 yr Same here mine hardly did anything. The bhaf does a fair amount and exhaust plays a key part.
January 28, 201312 yr ive got a bhaf and 4" exhaust, yet it's still fairly quiet. almost have to listen for it.. It's nowhere near as obnoxious as it was on my 24v.

January 29, 201312 yr Staff Under valved trucks don't breathe like the 24V trucks do... YEEAAHH... Until you do service work under loose peg board hooks

January 29, 201312 yr When i did my CAI i figured i would give it a shot. I like it...sometimes its a little much but road barriers and over passes are my best friend. Rolling my windows down at - degrees
February 2, 201312 yr HAHA ^^^ I did notice that when I was running my AFE stage one cold air intake, the turbo was very loud. Almost unbearable!! I just got a Baldwin BHAF and it actually quieted down the turbo a lot. At first I thought the turbo was stuck or something until I looked at the gauge. That just shows the difference in filter quality between an "oiled" filter and a real filter I guess.
February 11, 201312 yr Same here mine hardly did anything. The bhaf does a fair amount and exhaust plays a key part. I bought my truck with 250K on it and I guess the silencer ring was already removed because its got a pretty sweet whistle.

February 12, 201312 yr Pull the intake tube and check 'er out. What does it look like? I've never seen one? I guess it's on the intake side of the turbo?
