I was wondering if this process is similar to removing one on the 2 gen trucks....Any help or experiences would be appreciated!!! Also does anybody know if there is a warranty issue with doing this????
Thanks

 

Haven't done it myself but try a search I'm sure you'll find plenty of info

pop out the large internal ring and it falls out.

 

It works the same way only it's a little harder to get to in a 3rd gen......

 

They are easy, you just have to be creative. I used a 1/O Gamagatsu fish hook, nice sharp little point to lift the end then just run the hook around the circle and out she comes.

 

I tried three different times and still couldn't get to that stupid lock ring. Finally just cut the silencer ring with a pair of tin snips and yanked it out. Guess it won't ever be going back in!

 

Same concept as the 2nd gens

 

There's one method I've never heard of before!!

Yup, same concept, just a little more difficult to reach.

Thanks for the info, I got it out in approx 5 min with a flat head screw driver....Sounds better now...Thinking about taking out the baffles in the tube....Anybody else done this, would i have warrants issues???

 

anyone have photos? I'm assuming this just provides more turbo whine and no performance gain, right?

It works awesome. I learned it a few years ago while trying to get the "earless" snap ring out of the hub on my old F150 (limited tools on the side of the road, but I had my tacklebox). A pair of vice grips on the shank and you have all the leverage you need!

 

genosgarage.com sells a stainless tube to replace the factory tube if you don't want to cut the baffles out. I cut mine out with a hacksaw and it sounds coool now. Lots of turbo whistle.. Don't know about warranty, it's just there to keep the noise down so I doubt it would cause you any problems... they're never gonna look down that tube anyways.....

 

" they're never gonna look down that tube anyways....."


Until you have a big problem that they don't want to pay for . Check out the Blown Turbo thread .

 

Took mine out today and ran it like that for a few hours and to be honest I did not notice any more turbo whine than what I already had. Throttle response was the same no difference either...so I put it back in.

Dodgezilla I found the geno's page but i cant find the part...What category is the part under????

Thanks,
