Please Explain This One
Reading old forums and found out about the silencer ring, removed mine and although can't tell alot of difference in the whistle, I did see a much increase in fuel pressure. WHAT! not happy with fuel pressure since installing new lift pump from o'riellys, runs around 6 to 8, check with o'rielly's about this, long story short, Looking into maybe getting a different brand and o'riellys is going to honor warranty and give refund. could not wait to run truck with silencer ring removed and now fuel pressure stays @ 10 or more. ?????

I was just being a bit sarcastic...removing the silencer ring increases fuel pressure...like mine gives me 50HP.
You are correct, all that it does is reduce turbo noise.
A lot have "silencer ring removed" as if that's a mod listed in their signature. That confuses me.
No offence meant.

It is not at all confusing. Having the silencer ring removed modifies your hearing in a way that cannot be repaired, and it does it more quickly and efficiently than if you leave the silencer ring in place.
Lots of people like turbo "whistle". I am more neanderthal. I like my hearing. Therefore, I leave the ring in place, because in reality, it does nothing for performance, so why be bothered. Oh right... WHAT??????
Yeah, more power, BIG POWER.

It just really throws me on this fuel pressure increase since i have been monitoring it so closely since new lift and gauges

I know exactly what you mean.
It's been real cold here all week. I have been watching my fuel pressure closely because of that. All week it has been run less than normal but only a few pounds less. Yesterday at work during lunch time I checked my oil and placed a bungie cord around the BHAF because the old one turned up missing.
Going home from work my fuel pressure was back to normal.
