I saved mine, dont plan on putting it back in.

I like the increased whistle from the turbo, doesnt bother me on long trips.

I have this major problem with high frequency noise. It got worse as my spousal freq range went bad.


I hear you though man.... drives me nuts to hear high frequency squeals ... some TV's just about drive me around the bend and when I say anything most people in room look at me like I have two heads because they can't hear it. Maybe if they remember that their ears are like their feet... they can wash them too!

A silencer ring is a BIG diamond ring or equivalent that you give to the wife to shut her up....

It's actually a Ford part. If you look at it real close you can see FORD imprinted at the edge.

Here's a cut away of a HX-40 you can see the ring in the compressor housing.

mine has been riding in the pocket of my driver door for about 50K miles....

and the truck does not even run that turbo anymore. haha.

I am about to trade off the 341 so it will most likely leave my door then.
