I have heard some of the other diesels make a whistle noise when they get on the gas, mine will do it but , not like this. How do I get that sound from my truck?

Like those fellas said, a performance intake will increase your whistle. It does it by increasing the speed at which your exhaust leaves the engine. I would recommend exhaust upgrades to accompany the intake so your exhaust really moves much faster.

AEM Brute Force here with lots of whine. For those of you that are running AFE, What size is the intake diameter?

Wish someone or company would make just the steel tube for sale to hookup to the factory airbox. I have my airbox modded and would like to keep it on, the tube would get rid of the silencer and make a smooth flow. If someone does make the tube alone for sale please PM me.

Advanced Flow Engineering. Do a Google search for the home page and there are numerous vendors here that carry them.

Okay please tell me how a change in the intake system allows the exhaust to leave the engine faster? This should be interesting...
