What can I do besides replace my exhaust, and air filter to make my Turbo louder??? I know the Cummins boys have a Turbo silencer ring what about our Duramax's????????????

No siliencer ring .... Replacing factory airbox with a AFE setup (for one choose) makes a significent differance ....

Just out of curiosity...
Why would you want to make it louder. GM went through much research to make these engines as quiet as possible. I guess I just don't understand.

Swiss cheesing the air box does very little if any to make it louder. The AFE stage II will really make it whisle nice under hard pulls.


I have done both, and will stick with the AFE II. very nice indeed! An opened up exhaust will also help some, by making it breath better.

I love the sound!!!! Never had a turbo or turbo diesel. Thinking of AFE 2, AND Banks 4 . I definitely want more turbo whistle, but how does the Banks unit effect the overall noise level???</TD></TR>

Banks exhaust sounds great, but won't change the turbo whistle much if any. My turbo seems louder with the uni filter installed in the stock air box
