I spent an entire day trying to find the proper plug, then I installed it and took it for a spin and didnt notice a bit of difference. Can u guys say it actually sounds different, or are you just convinced it sounds different cause everybody says it does? Like I said, I didnt notice a lick of sound change...

biggest thing i noticed like a said is it louder when it spools down. holds the whistle longer. try turning the banks tuner up, its more noticilbe the higher the boost is.

If you still have your cat you probably won't hear much difference. I lost my cat and that's when I could tell the difference.

This was the first and only mod that was done to my truck for a few weeks and I can tell you with absolute certainty that it made a huge difference in the volume of my turbo whistle when I let off the accelerator and that is with a cat. No imagination or hype, actual sound increase on my truck.
