No offense, I think your truck looks great but I would jam a screw driver through my ear drums if I had to listen to that every day!

haha, thanks, but its not always that loud. its really loud warming up in the morning but in the cab you cant really hear it. kind of annoying in the summer though driving with all the windows down. only loud when it first spools though after that its okay

I love the sound of the turbo, it is the reason I had the muffler deleted. Mines gets muffled as the rpm's increase from the engine exhause. My friend said it sounded like a jet when he heard me accelerate from a stop light lol

No. 04-07 6.0s arent anywhere close to this loud, 6.4s arent loud either and you cant even hear a 6.7. 7.3s dont really have any whistle either. I have numerous friends around here always claim theyre gonna steal my turbo for the whistle

Well I guess it's what you like that matters....for me....I'd be keeping a screw driver handy. Gonna have to post up a new video of my V10 with headers at WOT just for fun. Well after I fix my leaking steering hose.

Yea it doesnt bother me, turn the music on and i dont even hear the engine. 6.0s pretty quiet under normal driving. Only thing that alerts me its still going is my driveline vibration

I like the way you think! I'd like to get a "drive by" of mine at WOT. I'd really like to know what other people hear when I go screaming by them.


If I floor it at the right time, it shifts into first, hits the rev limiter than upshifts. The sound at 5,000 rpms it neat IMO

Ok your "on" Dave, tomorrow post up your V10 WOT windows down running in her sweet spot video and I will do the same.

6.0 straight pipe - YouTube

Steep Hill - YouTube
i drove around for a week with my exhaust disconnected at the downpipe, sounds like a 737 landed right beside you until 2000 rpm then its all out MEAN V8 ROAR! the 6.0 has a very unique sound at higher rpms it makes me smile
i want to delete my muffler (already said good riddance to the kitty) but im worried it will cause too much unwanted attention from "authorities"
