Can some one tell me the pro's and con's of debaffling the intake?
I am thinking of casting a new baffle tube out of aluminum. (less the baffles)
That way I will still have the original for warrenty visits to the dealer.
I am trying to figure out if it isworth the effort.

06 2500 QC long bed auto

 

ALL it does is make the turbo spine noise loader. That is it.

 

What he said - I like it alot!

 

Thank's for the info.
It moved several places down on the to do list but when I get a chance I'll make the pattern and core box and cast a couple of them out of aluminum.

 

dremel off both ridges on the ends and knock that bag boy out to realy hear your turbo sing

 

Thank's Drew
But I want t keep the oringinal intak for warranty trips to the dealer.
If I was going to gut the original I would set it up in my mill or on the lathe to clean it out. (a little neater cuts)
When I some extra time that I need somthing to do with I will make a pattern and core box and cast a new one out of aluminum (less the baffles and maybe some internal fins to put a reverse rotation to the air flow to help the turbo grab more air IE: tamdem counter rotating props are more efficient than a single prop)

 

I like the idea, however for the size of the intake tube and the mass of air that is being drawn in, I doubt you would get the vortex of air your thinking about. I did a quick test on my restriction gage a while back and found that to pull the gage to the red you need about 1psi vacuum.

so granted you do have alot of volume, I dont think the pressure is realy there to support it.

 

I haven't cruched the numbers yet on velocity and volume it was just an idea that came to the head in the middle of the night that I thought was worth doing the full engineering bit on. (haveing the 747 and a little more boost maybe)
(Got to keep in practice with the caculator and the autocad)
