More turbo whistle

[Triton]

I want more turbo whistle. I know I can get an exhaust and hear the turbo but what I am wanting is more whistle from under the hood. You know semi sound. Just wondering if there is anything I can do.

Three things...Foil delete, Air Raid Throttle Body Spacer and huge air filter like a DIY Napa 6637. All three will give you more whistle.

hey rob that napa filter wont fit on the 6.0L.... but he gets the point... an open air filter box will work

[rajharley]

oops...my bad. Guess I forgot that I jumped into a 6.0 thread. Thanks Raul for squaring me away there.

I did my foil delete on sunday.

Foil delete also doesn't work.


Try removing the hood isulation as well as the sound insulation under the dash. Both will increase sound in the cab... but once you do that... you're stuck that way!

The BEST whistle is from an '03 turbo, but you have to change the pedastal. Now THAT's some whistle.

Whats the difference in the 03 turbo and the 06. I have chased dowb people in 03's to see what they had done to get that sound. most just have a cat back

03 to an 06 turbo, that main difference is that the 03 has one more blade.. how 1 can create THAT much more sound, I wonder. but to me, it's worth changing. buy the unit Discount Power is selling- 1450 plus core charge AND it's louder and more power hungry than the 03 turbos. win win!!

03 turbo has 10 exhaust side impellers and the 06 has 15. 03' to 07' garret vgt's have 9 vanes. I think, THINK, 9/29/04 to job 1 2005's have 13 impellers.

my opinion, powerstrokes don't make much "semi sound". Only psd's i've heard that sound like a "semi" have stacks. If you want whistle do a turbo back exhaust. less restriction the better.
