Does removal of the silencer ring give any bennifits other than getting to hear the turbo sing better?

 

nope

 

simple question, simple answer
you gotta love it

 

It gets people looking funny at ya when you pass them-think they are expecting something bigger

 

Somewhere there was a discussion about the silencer ring.

Someone found out that it does create a turbulance into the turbo. (Or least what I read..)

Regardless, removing the ring does nothing much than create a mild whistling noise. This can be increased in volume by installing a Scotty ][, BHAF, or just remove the air snokel on the stock box.

At least I know my turbo is still spining! I can hear it...

 

quick question I tried to get my silencer ring off and it didn't want to work with me, I might have been a little too gentle. How exactly do I get the darn thing off?

 

Small screwdrivers... And alot of patients...



If you look at the ring there is a tip to dig against... Get it lifted out of the slot and put another screwdriver under it to hold it. Then work it out!

 

Pulled the silencer ring off today and added a K&n BHAF cold air system. Its kinda Cool hearing the Turbo spool up better. Now where did I put that Credir Card so I can order a chip system.

 

someone on here dyno tested with it and it made no difference either way...I took mine of becasue it sounds so cool

 

Mine seems to have fallen out and i don't miss it one bit . Music to my ears

 

I had a lot more trouble getting mine off than expected. The gap of the ring was on top so i could not see what I was doing. I got a little mirror and was able to get it right out.

 

The Dodge Cummins is the only Cummins with the silencer ring for occupant comfort, NO other Cummins B,C,L,N etc. has this wonderful extra part. Obviously then performance is not effected as commercial engine arrangements generally work harder than our precious Dodge Cummins Diesels. Removing is easy place small screwdriver under tapered end that extends towards turbo inlet then place second small screwdiver or knife under exposed gap and work your way around until it pops out.

Kinda makes you wonder exactly how much we have to pay for that ring in the first place ??!!
