Whistle?
My buddy has a 97 350 with banks sidewinder, exhaust, intercooler, chip etc... His truck has the nicest "whistle" to it! I have a 92 350 crewcab with the stock banks turbo and a k&n filter inside the square filter housing. When I get on it I hear the turbo "spool" up , but it's just a "vvvmmmm" sound! How can I get that "whistle"? He said his was that way until he put a K&N cold air intake on. So should I get rid of that filter "box" and run a K&N with nothing around it from the intake duct? I know this will help the truck breathe better even though I still have the stock exhaust(that will come off soon, I might just cut the muffler off for now) I'm curious to hear what your trucks sound like! Thanks.

the whistle of the turbo comes through the exhaust, not the intake. to hear it, you have to get rid of the muffler.
and your 92 idi runs at a much lower boost level than your Buddy's 97 powerstroke does.

Run a straight pipe exhaust. Also eliminate your CDR valve and run it into your exhaust pipe down low where it's cool. Cut a fitting into your exhaust pipe with a 45 deg angle (angled toward the rear).
