Now that my truck is back together The turbo whistle is CRAZY loud. Right now I just have my 4" down pipe with nothing attached so its a very short exhaust. My question is does anyone have any idea of how much this will quiet once I run the 4" back? Is it going to change it significantly? I am only asking because im giong to go have my exhaust done and im wondering if I should have them put something in there to quiet the turbo whistle, but I want to keep the rapping. But the turbo can wake up the neighbors at the end of town. I can only imagine what my next door neighbors are going to do when I leave for work at 7. Whatcha guys think?

 

You 03 guys disgust me!

 

ya them 03s whistle like no other

 

lol Thanks Raptor

 

i know some folks 05+ get a 03 turbo and pedistall to make it sound better just a thought

best sounding vehicle out there nothing compares

 

I like the sound dont get me wrong. I dont want to lose it. I just want to be able to hear the radio in the truck. lol i need to lose a little of the whistle it really is allotlouder than it was before. I think ill have him just strait pipe it and drive it around for a bit and then go talk to the neighbors and make sure im not waking them up or their kids.

 

I just paid 1200 to get that whistle. And man the powermax delivers, but I have heard previous 03 owners upgrading to powermax losing some

 

I dont know if its still apart your truck

but could you see anything in that downpipe to kill the whistle

maybe you have the 4 inch downpipe

I see you do couldnt see your sig when in post mode

 

I'm running an '03 engine with the factory exhaust (sort of) with only the kitty MIA. The whistle doesn't seem to bother my neighbors. The engine is louder than the whistle when the truck is at idle...and unless your neighbors are part canine I don't see the "scream" waking 'em up at 0700. You will be able to hear the vanes sweep when the truck is idling...and I can hear my radio just fine, even when I have the 5th wheel on the hitch and we're rolling 'em down the superslab.It's a rough life, but we try to get by.

 

If the neighbors are not up at 7 am, they need to be. And the Kids should already be up, fed and ready for school.

All kidding aside though, there is a truck in Portland I can hear 2 blocks away with my window open. It may not be as loud in a closed up house.

 

Ok Sean I'm going to fix this exhaust leak and I'm going to meet up with you again so you can check it out. Lol Zach it is rough haha

 

Let me know when!. Then, I'll get there early and time your approach when I start hearing you!

 

LOL ok will do.

 

They're not really that loud...or at least not any louder than the turbo's on a Class 8 truck. Now straight pipe, I guess they could be heard for a couple of miles...but any background noise (hwy, factory) would/should cover it up pretty quickly.

 

Hey zach im going to start my truck and rev it a few times to about 3k would you do me a favor and run outside really quick and just stand really still and listen best you can here in about ten seconds tell me how well you can hear it in AK. HEHE
