Can try it without it once, see how you like it. If it's too much, then you can drill some holes. That way, you can tune it to your octave range.

yea i agree. just taking it out would be my best guess because i have it out on my truck and i can only hear my turbo when i really hammer on it or it i am listening for it.

taking the ring out will only increase turbo sound in the cab. not out of the tailpipe

Just take it all the way out thats going to make the turbo hiss lowder inside the cab as far as making the exhaust more mean turbo sound increase boost pressure which means more air more fuel..

^ Wow that logic it WAYYYY OFF. Taking the ring off has no effect on temps, power, or mpg. Just let's more noise escape into the motor bay.
