New 6637 Question?
So I finally did the install and I hear the drone or noise you were talking about. I think it is cool.
Everyone was talking about using stainless steel as the connecting tube. Well I could not find any and the muffler shop I went to said he did not have any.
So what I used was the normal muffler pipe which I think is aluminized steel, or something like that. Is the aluminized ok to use?

No problem with that material. I use PVC on mine with no problems. You can hear the whoosh?

You'll be fine, but if you're worried about it, take it out & paint/powdercoat it. Overkill maybe, but if it feeds your PMS, then it's all good!!

Is that noise from the turbo wheel slowing down. I get the sound went it shifts gears.

Basically yes- when the truck shifts the RPMs drop and all of a sudden the turbo is moving a bunch less air, so it makes that whoosh sound.
