Sooooo..... Where is the prefered mounting location? front bumper, roof? I imagine the decibles go up with vehicle speed? haha!


I'm with you though Pauly, I hate the cop-car hollow "rrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRR" coming from under the hood.... I may try and hack out that plastic thing today.

Can't have every other Super Duty "out whistle" me...

 

Hey LUVNACUMNS what makes your truck whistle like that? I have the silencer ring MIA and new intake, but its that loud but I wish it was

 

That is 53 *****'s truck and it's all in the intake.. Tubing and filter..
Mine's about twice that loud!!

Hey Shane a sound clip of the A5k would be nice to hear??

 

If I had the know how I would in a heart beat.. I just don't have the software on my computer???

 

Another vote for ******' whistler. There's no air rushing sound. It's all

 

you guys are making me feel all warm and fuzzy
thanks for the love

 

If I couldn't have afforded the AFE stage II I would have done the Mega whistler intake....

 

There we go! I think Quads on to something!


Man I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on the SNL sketch. I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought it was funny!



I've had intakes on previous vehicles but not the last two 'cause I don't like the noise. But I do want to hear that turbo sing!



Yup, that's the sound. I think I will try to open mine up tomorrow also.

I think that is my favorite episode ever!!

PT I'm not sure if they have Hastings Book stores where you are but I was in one the other day and they have a T-shirt with Will Farrel and his infamous cowbell on the front. You would probably look great in it.ha ha ha

 

Paul..

This post nudged me to get out the basic tools yesterday and see if I could whip up some w h i s t l e. Here's what I did...

Loosened the hose clamp at the turbo, and at the filter box, and pulled the whole thing out. I seperated the boots and checked out inside the plastic tube to see that "X" shaped muffler that needed to come out. I could see that the "X" was built from 3 pieces, but I wasn't about to unglue the outer can, so grabbed a hack saw . I undid the hacksaw blade from the handle, slid it through the tube, put the saw back together, and started hacking through the middle of the "X". It's a bit annoying to cut, but the "X" knocks out in 4 pieces real easy once cut through the center.

My very limited Fluid Dynamics knowledge also tells me that gasses prefer to swirl, so that white plastic flow director deal needed to go too..

I then drilled 2, 2" holes in the bottom of the airbox...

I also left in the silencer ring just to see what changes are made at each step.

I got a tiny bit more whistle for sure, but I think I'll be pulling the silencer ring in about 10min before heading out to the shop...

Cost = one broken hacksaw blade...

 

Don it's a lot easier to just buy an intake with an open element, those things will give you a lot of whistle!

 

Totally, but I use my truck in very dirty sandy conditions and I prefer to have the closed box. I'm sure some good sealed boxes exist, and cost wise eh, you can't beat free.

BTW, sounds GREAT with this setup having the silencer ring removed. I'm sure it could be more loud but I like this "moderate" whistle..
