Great topic, nothing better than finding out how to get that jet sound, now all i need is to find out how to get the black smoke

Hey Zane you said your dad has a powerstroke, and the turbo is really loud. Banks makes a different impeller for the turbo alot louder. I work at a ford/kia dealership, and I check out every powerstroke that comes into the shop.

I run a turbo back 5'' mbrp and 6" tip on my lbz. It definitely souns like a jet. I was going to remove the muffler, and have a staight pipe 5" exhaust which will be really short. But have not gotten around to doing that yet. I was going to wait until I got a cold air intake to see if the would also have an effect on the sound. As it would on a gasser.

well if you want black smoke here you go....you can run on the stock tranny to run with this programmer but it would be alot better to have the tranny upgrade...PPE HOT E.T. 2 http://www.pacificp.com/index.php?ma...products_id=97 and here is a video clip with my 05 LLY and the only thing done to it was the programmer http://video.thedieselgarage.com/vid...6a011bb464.htm one more question is your truck a 03 or 04

Mackthehack, you say they make a different impeller for the powerstroke that will make it even louder?

redneck tom · 04-13-2007, 06:08 AM

i just straight piped my LB7 and it is way loud it kinda has the scream of the LBZ and i love it!

Yes, Banks makes one or two, I think there might be another company. The first time I heard a powerstroke whistle like that I had to do some research, because I did want a powerstroke the 7.3 before I realized how much better a Duramax is. I even looked ebay, and found a couple.
