For a 6.0...she is quiet. Family hauler...double mufflers. I tried the FTE resonator, but the drone was too much.

Yes, very quiet, allegedly the '03 6.0 had massive turbo whine.

Reps sent, thank you for posting.

Miles,
That sounded like a Bell Helicopter, it woke up the dogs.

I insert "allegedly" so someone (who shall remain nameless) does not try to start a contretemps.

Thank you for the video.

That's the dyno run at minute man...I missed your pull as I came late. I put my X on Scott's dyno too, just later in the day. Nice rig!

Here is the 2014 pull at Marshfield. 265 feet (if I remember correctly) and 5th place!

Last year I had 390 hp at the ground, this pull I was at 520hp. Both front stub shafts and the rear drivers side axle shaft didn't like me that day! Chromoly shafts in the front now. Maybe if I hit 600hp for next year's pull, I'll get to 4th place…wonder what will blow then? Until then...
