Default I want that whistle sound

I'm sure most of us here have heard a powerstroke that is strait piped. They tend to put out that awesome whistling/ jet sound via the exhaust. Even after the truck is turned off it expells that sound for a few seconds. I love that sound, I want it. Any ideas on how to get it, other than buying a ford ofcoarse.

You will never get the Cummins to sound like the 6.0. They are 2 totally different animals.

That makes perfect sence, so what would you recomend for more whistling other than a turbo?

Get a stage 2 cold air intake, remove silencer ring from your stock turbo or best is to get a turbo with a 71mm exhaust turbine wheel, 5" exhaust and no CAT. That will whistle enough to hear it in the cab and from a couple miles down the road. But, it's no cheesy whistle like a PS it actually sounds like a big truck.
