Disapointed

Installed MBRP's 4" turbo back exhaust today that my wife got me for Christmas. Fired it up when finished and it didnt have anywhere near the turbo whistle I thought it would.

You must have a late 04 turbo on your truck, my early 03 with muffler delete sounds like a jet engine in the morning when it goes to high idle. You can hear it at least 50 foot away.

I have the same exhaust on my 05 and did not have much whistle with the cat on, it is off now and really sounds good, to me anyway. But that is subjective and someone else might say it is not loud enough.

I have an 06 with that same exhaust. I have the cat delete pipe and their muffler, and you can hear the turbo whistle without a doubt. I have had people ask me about it.

Your probably right! I guess my Christmas Tree is going to have a new shinny muffler ornament hanging from it...
