i completely agree....i took the silencer ring out of mine, and put a cold air filter right on the turbo. and i hear nothing but whistle down the highway, so loud it almost gets on my nerves sometimes, but theres nothin better than. ALSO.....when im gettin down hard on the truck, between gears after the turbo has been spooled, it sounds amazing. my favorite sound ever

Groggy2 - I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Mine was the same way. Call me tomorrow around 9am pacific time as I can talk you through it. I broke a pic trying so be careful it doesn't break and end up in the turbo. I found a very slow but delicate sure fire way.

Tiremann is right. And you don't have to order replacement filters... NAPA is everywhere. My truck is stock too and it made a big difference in the whistle.

Yep!
Silencer ring out made a noticeable difference in my truck!
With the stack, it sounds amazing!

BHAF hopefully later today if NAPA has em in stock!
Then she'll really sing!
