ohhhhhh, man vj, that is really fancy right there, way to go, i really like the look of that!!! and again, i'm glad your satisfied and that everything worked out well, BTW, did you do anything about it vibrating loose? i checked mine last night, and mine never did come loose, maybe i just had mine tightened down more or something?

Hey, thanks! I just got back into town here and ive put about 800km on the truck within the last 2 weeks.. and no it never came loose, i put thread lock on it.. I think that will work.. no problems yet anyways...
I have another Question, I always hear cummins drive by and when they give it a shot, I can hear the turbo widing down, like the wistle.... Is this Due to a 4" Stright Exhaust.? and an Intake.? i can hear mine like sighlently in the cab but its not that loud to me....?

hmmm, not too sure on that one, it's probably all of those factors in together, and also the fact that you are outside of the truck driving by and not in it. being in the truck, especially with the windows up, i can't hear it that much but when i roll the windows, or i had my girlfriend drive it by once just so i could hear it , and it's quite a bit of difference.
also, do you have the silencer ring taken out of the turbo? i assume you DO but you just don't have that in your sig. and most guys do put that in there.

Well, I looked it up on here how to take it out and I just went out and removed it. (that was the easiest mod i have ever done) Not sure what it sounds like now yet because my filter was dirty so iam in the process of cleaning that up right now.
we'll let ya's know.

hey man, glad you found info and the ring and got that out.
ya, i'd have to agree with you, it is a pretty easy mod, mine only took a few minutes to get out.
but my cousin on the other hand tried taking his out of his 99 Dodge CTD and the snap ring that you have to remove was loose in there so it just spun around and around and he could never get ahold of it, man that took a looong time to get out...
but you'll love the difference it makes, let me know what ya think!
