What are some easy things to do or cheap to make my 02 Duramax sound better. Not willing to spend the money for 5 inch yet but will in the future. Any suggestions are appreciated.

: Whistle bigblackdmax 02-09-2005, 05:15 PM If whistle is what you are looking for and afe stage 2 intake would do that. I straight piped my truck orginally by cutting off the muffler and putting in a piece of flex pipe. Now for real good sound get 4 inch pipe into six inch stacks.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gif 6speedduramax 02-10-2005, 09:23 PM I'm not sure if the D-maxs have them but the Strokes and Cummins have silencer rings on the air inlet side of the turbo. My friend has a 99 Dodge cummins and we took the silencer ring off it there is no loss in power and it makes it whistle... what more could anyone ask for? :thumb: Pretty simple to take off just pop off the pipe that connects the air filter to the turbo. Inside the turbo there should be a snap ring pop it off with a flat screw driver or knife. Pull the ring out. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Turbo With Ring</TD><TD>http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/FAQ/silencer-t.jpg (http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/FAQ/silencer.jpg)</TD><TD>http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/FAQ/silencer-no-t.jpg (http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/FAQ/silencer-no.jpg)</TD><TD>Turbo Without ring</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> :grd: NorCal 2500HD 02-10-2005, 09:57 PM just got this off the e bay turbo auction from another post..i dont see a silencer ring.... http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/61/41/97_1_b.JPG BERK 02-11-2005, 01:58 AM Here's you whistle.... http://lisupras.com/wooo.html 5thgeartapped 02-11-2005, 07:07 PM How does someone come across a website like that?? Ghetto fabulous 04'deezil 02-11-2005, 10:27 PM Lopped off cat and cut about seven feet of pipe off my exhaust. Used the OEM pipe I had cut off to make a straight pipe wher the cat used to be. It is louder but not over whelming, exits just before the passenger rear tire and give s the turbo whistle also. The intakes on the D-Max have a dead air space, the plastic diamond plate part on the top, that silences the whistle. If you can take that off at teh rubber hose part and then make a tight seal over the hole there, should be whistle'n dixie. dmax4u2nv 02-12-2005, 02:36 PM Lopped off cat and cut about seven feet of pipe off my exhaust.

On the other hand, I custom made an intake with 4 inch rubber hose (for clamps) and 4 inch aluminum pipe... Now it whistles!! Especially when I really get on it, the turbo gets a humming, sounds good! Unfortunately, I don't have any pics, but it is a very clean install and looks good. Dan | ||
