Just for the rest of us, why do you want it louder???

When I put the AFE Stage II on, the intake got louder but luckily not that obejctionable. Likewise with the TurboBack exhaust (that's rather noticeable form outside).

Both these mods were for "performance" gains Is there any gain in that area for doing the foil delete?

No performance gains. Just the wonderful sound of the turbo.

You can take the foil off the hot pipe that ford used to insulate the turbo whistle.

It produces small gains in performance and mileage, since it gets rid of unnecessary weight. HAHAHAHAH!
