Engine Noise

As you can see I am a new member. I have received so much great advice since joining the forum. One of the the first mods I did were the In tank fuel mod w/filters and HPx mod , it really quieted the engine down ! BUT with the installation of my tuner in 80E the noise is back , is there any other mods that will quiet it back down ?

Thanks Bill

Sorry Bill. That's one of the side effects of a DP. Sounds like marbles in a coffee can when the engine fires up. My wife's truck has Tony's tunes and it does the same thing. The good news is you will get used to it very quickly and will no longer the difference.

The engine isn't really that much louder now, it just has a different sound to it that stands out to your ears. The truck moves down the road a lot better now though doesn't it?

Thanks Chris; You are 100% right the performance and mileage is great, its just when I switch from stock to 80E that I realize the difference in noise level, in any of the tow tunes its much quieter.
Thanks again for expertise .
