i just got my first diesel. its a 1995 7.3L powerstroke i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove the silencer from the turbo...also, if i have regular 3 1/2" pipes going to 6" stacks will it effect the power in any way?

PS thanks to everyone for welcoming me diesel bombers people kick *** !

welcome,I'm not sure if powerstroke turbos have silencer rings.But,you can look by pulling off the turbo intake tube.Look into the turbo intake housing.Look for a ring,Then look for a snap ring.If their is,remove the snap ring with a couple flat screwdrivers.Then reach in a slide out silencer.

That pipe size probably won't make much difference in power if you're running straight pipe, but it won't be as loud for sure.
