LOUD turbo

I bought my truck a couple of weeks ago and im noticing that my turbo is not very loud........at all! What is the loudest turbo for this truck? Or, how do I make my stock turbo scream? Lets face it, power aside, sounding like a jet taking off is half the fun!!!!! I'm tired of my friends powerstroke whistling more than the cummins



thanks
brian j

Seriously, cut out your muffler and install a straight pipe in it's place. That'll make it a bit better and should help with a bit more power.

Get a Stage III compressor kit from HTT or Gillett, and run an open element air filter like a BHAF.

Would I have a silencer on my dodge?? 06 2500. I think it would be cool to take it out so you can hear the turbo more. Will it void warranty??

I have a BHAF and a straight pipe, still can barely hear mine at 26lbs boost. Thats fine with me though, don't want to listen to it whistling away on long towing trips. High pitched noises for extended periods make my ears hurt.
