just removing the silencer ring wont do anything, not even change the sound. You have to take the baffles out of the intake, or just get a whole intake kit. A whole intake kit with the removal of the ring will increase performance and make the turbo scream like a semi turbo.

how thick is the wall - I mean from the look of it online it looks kind of thick (as in muffling the sound) but then again it could just be the photo online and the connecting end part..

The turbo screams now. Stock filter and removed baffles, removed silencer ring and it sings.
Confused here. Baffles removed, AND removed silencer ring?? NOt sure I follow you. On my truck, I pulled that air intake apart, from the airfilter lid to the turbo, and the only thing in there was a "X". Had to pop apart the tube, pull out the "X" and use silicone to seal the tract back up. What other part is in ther that I did not see or have?????

Yea I dyno'd my bike with and without the playing card and there was a noticable increase in performance.

loudest turbo whistle
The turbo will sing the loudest when you drive with NOTHING in front of it 
Since we'd never subject our CTDs to that abuse, the solution is to use the minimum amount of "stuff" in the air intake/filtration system. I think my solution - the super BHAF - is the best, most efficient design if you're after maximum flow & whistle. Enough dry media filtration for TWO 610s, nothing but the turbo boot/elbow between the Cummins filters and the turbine, and still retains the stock IAT & filter-minder.
Of course, popping the hood is always a jaw-dropper...

I still want to see some photos of the bottom of your wrap drive BHAF setup.. ie: not installed and how the intake plumbs into it..
- maybe in this case some single malt scotch has we see the photos!

cKennedy,
"wrap drive"? Sorry - maybe I'm just slow today...
The stainless steel air filter box mounts directly to the turbine inlet with the stock turbo boot/elbow - it's really pretty straightforward. I need to change the oil & filter, so I'll try to get a shot of the super BHAF on the bench at the same time.

The 5.5" semi truck exhaust I used was, well, the normal thickness of exhaust tubing found on vehicles and trucks.
I could tell no difference in sound really between the two. I just didn't want the exhaust pipe to corrode eventually and send chunks of it screaming down into the compressor blades!

Mine fell out shortly after I got the truck.
The only time I hear the turbo is when Im pulling a grade and the engine is working, but Iv still got the "fins " before the turbo also.
