is there any way i can take the silencer ring out on a 07 6.7? my buddy asked me the other day figured you guy would know

 

You can, but I've heard you have to break dowels and other things... Also I've heard it'll cause a decrease in performance because on the 6.7's the ring helps direct airflow. I wouldn't mess with it... Just MHO though.

 

i have heard it is all built inot one and if it breaks you have to replace turbo and all, i would get some definate confirmation before i messed with it

 

The silencer ring is just that, a silencer. Dodge has them put on to make the engine as quiet and "non-diesel" sounding as possible for their customers.

There is a pin that needs to be drilled out for the ring to be removed.

 

Is this the pin that needs to be drilled out for the ring to be removed? Where is it located at on the turbo if i was to look under the hood? can it be drilled with the turbo still in the truck? Just asking.

Oh did you take it out of your truck?

 

Yes, thats the pin that must be drilled out. Its easiest just to remove the whole compressor housing.

I had bought one for my Mercedes, but it turns out the HE351 is basically an HX40 which is way too large for my power goals.
