i just bought a 2001 ram 2500 diesel and i love my diesels loud, not crappy loud but throaty deep loud, first thing is im going to take the silencer outa the turbo, but i was wondering if cutting the exhaust pipe would do much and how much should i cut before it sounds like crap? i need just some legit good free ways to make it louder. i read something about someone drilling a tiny hole in "the line" for the turbo to give a little more boost? wat is that about? please help anyone and everyone, thanks alot.

 

DO NOT put a hole in the boost line on your turbo.

If you want to up the boost on that '01, here's whatcha need.

Adjustable boost elbow to regulate the pressure to the wastegate and j-hook to increase the closing pressure on the stock wastegate spring.



As for the exhaust, cutting the muffler off a 24V is gonna make it LOUD. If you want throaty, but not ****-the-neighbors-off loud, then just do a direct fit muffler and get rid of the monster under there now.

Let me know if you need one. It's a lot more adjustable and SAFER than going ghetto fab on it.

 

how much are we talkin for the adjustable elbow? cause im lookin for somewhere close to nothing, but cheep is ok i guess also. does it sound crappy taking the muffler off? i want it loud i dont care if it pisses my neighbors off, they deserve it, but yea, i want a good sound not a crappy rice rocket bean can sound, loud is good tho : )>

 

If you want it loud, then yeah straight pipe it.

Personally, I think the 24V's sound awesome straight piped, but for me it's too loud. I like to keep mine a little sneaky.

 

cool, now if i straight pipe it should i keep the pipe all the way back? or leave it cut at the muffler? im eventually going to put stacks on it but im tryin to do wat i can now untill i get some cash, i want the turbo louder then it is and i want everyone to know, ITS A DIESEL!!!!. lol, know wat i mean? i just wanna make sure its a good sound.

 

Are you married and does your wife ride in the truck with you?

If yes, then run the exhaust all the way back.

Trust me, it'll keep you sane.

 

no lol, im not married, but my parents and other chicks ride with me, but i dont mind noise at all, i ride a streetbike that vibrates the **** outa my eardrums, lol, i work around widebody aircraft day long, so i dont mind noise, lol, but yea, should i put a down pipe on it or just keep it straight? would it heat anything up to much if i keep it straight, im not running it all the way back ill just cut it off. but straight or down pipe?

 

Where can i get a j-hook and adjustable elbow? Prices?

 

probably from coaltrain? im not sure tho.

 

I can certainly get ya the hook and elbow....and pretty much anything else ya want.
