Too quiet

2017 6.7 Is there a way to make it to where I can actually hear the turbo spool without doing anything major? I don't hear it at all and I would like to.

I know, that is one of the things I miss about my '11....and incidentally was also a factor in favor of the Ram, just not weighted important enough to push me that direction.

Some days I miss my old nasty 7.3. I had the GTP38R ball bearing turbo in it, so it really howled…I loved it! Most days I am pretty content with the quiet nature of the new rig. I can say my wife is much happier to take long trips in it now.

Put a tune and DPF delete and you'll hear it then.

A cold air intake allows more sound from the turbo, but I too am liking the silence. I had a '97, 7.3 fully modded for 16 years, and finally got sick of all the sounds.

Imagine this, wired to an upfitter switch. Old-school diesel noise when you want it; near silence when you don't. I'd pay decent money for this feature.

Me too. Silence is a great problem to have.

Me too, thats an interesting idea
I wrote one sotf for my dodge , i liked it

I've never looked into availability with ford tuning i dont see why it wouldnt be doable with an ez link and sotf switch or another platform

My friend has a 2011 that someone turned into an excursion. It has no DPF and the turbo is super loud. I think all the exhaust system on these eat up all the turbo noise.
