I'm still looking into what exhaust i should buy. I dont want the exhaust to be too loud, but i would love for the turbo to scream. any recommendations? thanks. kev
Follow this link to Magnaflow's site, scroll down the page to the Ford F250/350 section. Once there you can download a video and sound clip to hear what they have to offer. JS.
KEV250,
Last week I installed the MBRP Stainless Duels that I bought from DPPI and killed the cat. If you want your truck to sound like a turbine engine at idle...here you go. I may put the cat back on just to see the difference (less whistle). The rumble part is really nice but is only prevalent when you get-on-it.

if you want REAL intense exhaust, 4" straight pipe from the turbo back. never thought my 04 could sound like an 03... i was wrong! i couldnt imagine what itd sound like on an 03

Whats the difference between the sound of an 03 vs 04, I should probably know this but I don't? Did ford change something in the turbo? I know people can hear me coming for miles [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] But I wasn't sure if it was my ground hawgs or the turbo.

sorry about the hijack

They added some blades in the 04 turbo to quiet it down some. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] I guess some were complaining [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I have a 99 powerstroke and was also wondering how to make it whistle without sticking a lot of money into it. Would pulling the muffler and/or cat off and just running a pipe back work?
Stick with the MBRP Exhuast with muffler and cat delete/test pipes. The delete pipes are fairly cheep and if u dont like i whistle just bolt the cat back in. But i love it.

I wanted the whistle too, the only way is no cat or 03 turbo swap. I have a mbrp 4" cat back and it sounds almost stock. When i start it i can here a rumble and if i floor it i can here it. I want to keep my 100k warranty so im not doing turbo back and im not deleting anything, i did pick up some extra mpg though.
Yea, I have an '03 with magnaflow turbo back 4" duals and my turbo SCREAMS!! I noticed a huge difference when going from my old cat-back single to turbo-back duals. However, the '03 turbo is known to be louder than those of later years. I am extremely happy with the magnaflow performance 4" dual exhaust system. It adds the look, the scream, and the low rumble I was looking for. Anyway..for screaming turbo, the turbo back exhaust is mandatory, and the dual pipes help amplify the sound.

I have an 04, but with stock exhaust I can hear the turbo really well through the cab. However I'd like to have the turbine sounding idle as well. To do this the best way seems to be a cat and muffler delete...I'm just curious, will running a straight pipe cause any damage in the long or short term?
i dunno why ppl say the newer 6.0's don't whistle as much.. cause mine is a 2006 that will SCREAM and is louder than my friends that is an 03.. he has a 4" turbo back... would 1" in exhaust diam. make THAT much of a diff???
