I have noticed that the GDS upgrade tends to be a smidge quieter.

Well it a good thing I dont have nice paint I kinda still wish I had it but when I put this sheet metal on the insulation was in real bad shape

My hx40 with the silencer ring is louder than the gds upgrade (no silencer ring) hybrid. This is all with a BHAF with an old smokey mount.

Lol. Most of the fire trucks around here have detroits in them...

I still think you should get somebody to drive your truck by you... My truck sounds totally different not driving. And if you want to hear the compressor side of the turbo, try hangin the filter off of your first 45 degree rubber boot with a 3" piece of 4" to hold it together...

My hx-35 is pretty loud with my stock replacement k&n, but I have removed the box, and put 4" tubing in place of the hose. Please excuse my filthy engine bay.

My gds was kinda loud and got really annoying while towing.

I went to the super40 and its really quite all the time. I can make 50 some psi of boost and it still sounds good. Its kinda hard to watch the gauges and pay attention to the road tho, things come up ina real hurry now.
