Get a 2" test plug from the hardware store.
Pull off the resonator box and plug the tube going into it.
Make sure to use a lock nut or locktite to keep that damn thing in there right, dont want that plug/wing nut/washer falling loose
then shove the resonator box back on and tighten the clamp back up.
As long as you have a straight pipe this sounds f'ing SICK!!!!
The spool up is nice but the lb7's stop roaring soon as you let off the throttle so the whistle lasts a while and sounds WAY better than any other engine.

That intake air horn mod was seriously one of the best cheap mods I've done. I've had so many people ask me what kind of turbo (aftermarket) I was running

ever put a K&N on a gas truck before?
kinda more sound you get with the horn plus turbo whine. kinda wish i didnt sell my afe cause it was loud aa hell with the afe before i switched back to stock.

Is there a custom intake tube available like the ones for the Afe intakes that still hooks to the stock air filter? I like the stock filtration system, but I want some mad turbo whistle.
The plug idea is alright, but it's incredibly dry where I live, and the temp goes from 32-65 regularly, so I'm worried about it cracking and falling apart.

Definantly more louder. However I have an open element K&N which probably helps. The turbo noise seriously echos off walls and buildings now plus low boost (<10psi) is maybe two times louder. I didn't believe it at all but everyone that rides in my truck with the windows down always mentions something.
