i took the blak plastic thing out all together and replaced it with a pice of 5" s.s. tube looks nice and you get a smooth flow of air insted of having the grooves in the plastic pice and if i have to take it to the shop i just put the plastic pice back in.

 

How much more turbo whistle can you get by removing the air intake plastic cross piece? I removed the snapring and plate outa the turbo, it sounds kinda like air rushing now a bit more whine. Don't want too much noise, heck the reason I paid for an '03 was to keep it quiet. But I gotta confess I do like to hear the turbo. (Maybe the reason I like my ol L 10 in my dump truck)<br><br>Hazzybeens where's you pick up a piece of SS that size?<br>Thanks<br>Paul

 

ANy thoughts on performance when this is removed?
