it hasn't been proven but i know the turbo spools much quicker. I mean it seems sluggish today but I think thats because I grew used to the programmer and I took it off. I'll see about getting some pics tomorrow.

I just got back from a 599 mile trip with a light load in the bed of truck for the first half and dead headed back home. It took 33 gallons to fill up so with a calculator that is about 18 mpg. I wonder how much it will improve with a programmer such as the smarty jr. I can tell that there is a little more get up and go with the S & B installed and a lot more singing from the turbo. I LOVE IT!!!!LOOKS pretty good under the hood also..

the stopwatch built into your cellphone
can tell you if the turbo is really 'spooling' faster
by measuring the time it takes for
the psi builds from 5 psi to 10 psi

As far as the silencerring on the 6.7 I dont think it can be pulled out. I thought i read here on the forums here that is was built into the turbo housing.

Well back when I was still at the Academy I had my truck down in the mech lab on the dyno and it made better power with the intake and filter on than with it off. The only reason I took it off was so I could see a little better to try and find an exhaust leak.

Mayfair,

How do I yank the silencer ring? I have a stock setup and don't want to mess with a sensor or performance but the louder the better from the engine bay!

What year Ram do you have?

Check out that link that was posted earlier. On page 2 i put up some pics of how I did mine. If yourRam is the same year, it'll be the same.

Thanks. I am happy with how it looks and performs. It spools the turbo much quicker and gives it a little more low end power I think.
