there is another thread that some of use have been posting in for a while waiting to see if it gets the attention of a tech who had dis-assembled a 03-04 6.0 turbo...is there a silencer ring in there?? how can it be removed?? were all intrested in geting more whistle. any help would be awesome perhaps some pics of the 03-04 turbo's.

 

Im also interested.......

 

Remove all the intake piping to the turbo, you will see the intake vanes of the turbo. There will be an outer ring this is the silencer ring, look it over to see if you can pull it out.

 

if you want more whistle just straight pipe your exhaust....


mine is so loud its not funny......

 

Thats cus you got an 03. Us 04 guys want more whistle Im straight piped, but im not even close to the whistle of an 03.

 

dont hate

 

Im straight piped already but were talking about intake whistle not exhaust.

 

just trying to keep the thread up front. Any techs out there with the answer to this question?

 

im gonna be installing my coolant filter kit this weekend and will take my intake tube off and find out while im there.

 

After I put my MBRP T back on with the MBRP muffler and cat delete pipe installed, I got a lot of turbine whistle. When I put the Jobe intake on, I got all the turbine whistle I can stand. When I'm at someplace like Lowes or Wally World and step on it, everybody turns and looks.

I took the intake tube off and was able to locate the silencer ring...it apears to be a insert because it is a seperate piece from the compressor housing...looks like you have to maybe remove the housing and take it out the back side. I will do some re-search to find out if that is possible.

 

Maybe this is a shot of the silencer?

 

well I breiflly looked at one the other day, I couldnt tell how it could be removed though since part of the intake was still there. Id like to figure this out though. I might have to tear into mine... Lets keep trying guys!

 

i emailed 6L-pwr because he is doing the swap soon and i thought he could take the compressor housing off and see if the insert comes out the back side...because to me it looks to be a two piece design seperate from the housing like the cummins although simply removing the snap ring is not the case here. Taking the front of the turbo off doesnt look hard and some stuff would have to come out of the way to take it out. But its just a bunch of 12-point bolts i would take mine apart if i know it comes out. If 6l-pwr cant help i will e-mail garret about it.

 

Yes that surely is it...it has channels cut in it and is hollow inside so the sound gets trapped.
