7.3s are not known for their quietness.. that's why i love them.
you should do the foil delete, that'll quieten it down some!

im glad every girl in my family likes the whistle cuase I love it. Only think you can do is get a closed element air filter system maybe foil your intercooler tub and wrap your truck with sound deadning stuff.

How could you not like the turbo whistle?!? I listen to that more than my stereo that I sunk like $400 into :hehe:

Man I catch myself driving around 50 percent of the time with my radio off and windows down. Ohhh how I love that whistle. Getting ready to cut the muffler out of my 4" next week to hear it some more.

Dude the 7.3 is a monster... it's a friggen semi motor in a civilian work truck. They are not quiet; they are designed to do work. And believe me, they do work.

i must be weird :dunno:. my truck hauls around my family, wife and 3 boys, so i would like it to be a little quieter inside so that i can hear what everyone is saying.... i find myself saying "what" all the time. but then again, mine is a e99 which i heard is even louder than the later models...

Well I'm deaf so I say what regardless. But as much as I understand where you are coming from, thats the nature of the beast.

yep, it is. i am by no means complaining, i just know where the guy is coming also. i am planning on doing all the stuff needed to make things a little quiter in the cab, hutch mod, regulated return, some more insulation.... etc.

Good luck and keep us posted in new threads!

all in due time.... my budget isnt exactly big, with 3 little boys and momma back in school. the hutch mod will probablly be first, as i run out of fuel at 1/4, and the pickup screen isnt broke off, i checked. i heard it quiets down the motor more than a regulated return, and its way cheaper!
