roll your windows down:D

Just kdding.... I think I heard that you can take the 6.6 silensor off the truck and cap the hole on your mouth piece.

I also heard that you can take an LBZ Kodiac mouth piece and put it on an LLY which makes the turbo a little loader and makes the truck perform a little better. With the kodiac MP, it does not have the opening to the silensor so you do not have to cap it.

He's referring to the big plastic piece on top of the engine that says 6.6L on it.

"Noise" and "loud" usually refer to things in a negative light.

Proper term would be "Holy shit,that sounds like a jet":thumb::cool_shad

IHI turbo isn't loud and can't be made to sound like what you are really looking for. Especially at low RPM.

Yah For A Wile Their I Thought I Could Do Something To My Lb7 Turbo, But Theirs Not Much You Can Do After Intake And Exhaust, Except Buy An Bigger Bad Azz Turbo. Cheetah Turbo's Are Loud As Well As Aurora. I Do Now That If You Put The Hp Their With Intake And Exhaust It Will Be Louder, Or You Will Just Hear It Better, I Guess Just Cause The Hp Makes It Spool Faster.

S&B intake and a 4" exhaust. Mine whistles like crazy.
Drives the wife nuts between the whistling of the turbo and the sound of the exhaust.

intake!!..eliminates the resonator and the turbo sounds better..other than that not much else can be done.

The intake will make the turbo louder to the occupants of the vehicle...ie: underhood sound. The exhaust sound at the tail pipe will be virtually the same. A straight 5" exhaust has the best results for tail pipe turbo whine. However the IHI LB7 still won't produce much at the tail pipe no matter what. The nature of the beast.

aftermarket intake that is metal will give you the best sound with the stock turbo

Wish someone made a nice looking smooth bend stainless tube to replace the OEM plumbing. Just the pipe.

Block off the waste gate and it will make more noise and gain about eight pds of boost. It will shorten the life quite a bit.

This thread is a little old, but I thought I'd weigh in.

Just installed the 2" plug, didn't notice a damn thing! Even if its louder, its very minimal. For the $5.56 the thing cost me, I really don't care. I'll have an LBZ or LMM within 8 months anyways, then I'll make it sound like a jet :D

does the truck have cats? deleting the cats makes the turbo whistle more evident
