what do i need to do to upgrade my mouth piece?

 

[Chevyguy08]

get a stock lbz mouth piece or an afe mouth piece, or give RickDlance a shout on here

 

[DuramaxSMOKE11]

get a LBZ mouth piece or the AFE

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

which one is better?

 

[DuramaxSMOKE11]

both the same. the AFE is a direct fit. with the LBZ you have to cut the intake tube back for it to fit

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

do i have to have a special intake?

 

[DuramaxSMOKE11]

nope. the AFE mouth piece is 200 bucks i think and the LBZ is 50 or so, not 100% sure on the LBZ price. i have the AFE cause i didnt wanna cut my banks intake tube

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

so if i get the afe im set?

 

[wilkie]

I got the afe and I love it. Yes the LBZ is cheaper but I did not what to hack things up to get it to fit. Don't hesitate to change the mp, it makes a huge difference in the performance of the lly.

yes sir. did you block off your turbo resenator yet?

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

does it make the turbo spool faster? how much hp do you gain from it?

 

[DuramaxSMOKE11]

its said to make the turbo spool faster.AFE 46-60029 Blade Runner Turbo Inlet for 04.5-05 LLY GM 6.6L Duramax

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

umm not sure if its blocked or not? how would i do that?

 

[Justin StoutLLY]

not sure what the turbo resenator block does?

 

[DuramaxSMOKE11]

it makes the turbo spool up faster and it also makes the turbo noise louder

 

[BTBITTNER]

Blocking the resonator will not make your turbo spool faster, it is purely for sound and some think it doesn't even do that.

 

[JShe8918]

Blocking resonator is for so much more than sound. It is to block recirculating soot back into you motor! LoL

 

[BTBITTNER]

you got me!

 

[jcbDuramax]

i thought you block egr to keep recirculating soot? i NEVER heard these things about spool faster while blocking the resenator...i did it to my truck nd didnt notice a damn bit a diff..i did it or turbo whistle...it still didnt make a dif...IMOP

 

[JShe8918]

you got me!

I re-read my post and it sounded rude. I do appologize if you took it that way. It wasn't meant as a jab towards anyone.

You are correct. I didn't notice anything other than my oil being a tiny bit clearer between service intervals. The mouthpiece on the other hand will make the turbo spool quicker and it will also enhance the whistling noise as well. If you want to further enhance the whistle and get rid of some of the screetching noise upon hard accelleration i would recommend the DE direct pipe. It is on my to do list as well as upgrading from a modded LLY mouthpiece to an AFE!
