Ok today we were at builders and when i was sitting in the parking i saw a black strait cab stoke in the parking lot. When he drove by me i had the window down and the turbo on that thing whistled like no other. I did the foil delete and open air and 4inch to 5inch stacks and i get whistle but NOTHIN like this. If i put a whicked wheel on my truck do you guys think that it would whistle a whole bunch more. Thanx

if it was a 6.0 it would be louder whistling than a 7.3 especially an 03 6.0. my buddy has an 03 6.0 straight piped and you can hear his turbo no lie a mile away. i am kinda wondering the same thing about a ww tho im interested in one for my truck

WW will help some, but to get the full effect couple that with a ATS compressor housing. I have a vid in the video section of my truck. Will give you an idea of what it sounds like

Its really not a performance mod so much as a turbo longevity mod. When you tune up the truck the stock turbo can surge and shorten the life quite a bit. If you don't plan on running larger injectors and you want lots of whistle then go for it. If you do plan on bigger injectors down the road then I would consider putting the money on an aftermarket turbo instead. I don't plan on anymore mods other then some custom tuning and maybe a dual hpop so what I have will be sufficient.
