Just took out the baffles and silencer ring, soooo nice to hear that turbo serenade me. Can't wait for my AFE drop in to get here. Also drilled a 2" hole in the bottom of the airbox---don't think it was needed but the hole saw was sitting around begging to be used.



Put a couple dabs of JB weld on the ring that holds the baffles in.

That oughta do it.

rfoust, I was thinking about JB weld but I couldn't find any in my garage, I RTV'd it, when that was cured I put 4 machine screws around the outside flange

I tried the Geno's unit and to me it had too much of a ringing pipe sound but a very well made piece. I ended up using the AirAid MIT found here...

Wow... All this talk and very little mention of the aFe Torque Tube.



I have that installed. Didn't really notice a performance difference but it does make the turbo sing.

does anybody know the sound difference between the torque tube and the moore coatings eliminator offered by Genos? I have the moore unit now.

I have gone back to the original black pipe/tube with the + cross inside. I used the Moore/Geno's eliminator for about 15 tanks of fuel. I have since run two tanks of fuel through the original piece. I thought the eliminator was hard on fuel mileage but did not want to comment until I had compared it to the original part. I have picked back up almost a mile per gallon putting the stock part back in. I will post again after another ten tanks. I think the + component of the stock part must be DC's answer to the laminar flow/efficiency issue.



PS. I made the change so I would not have to listen to the turbo for our 3k mile vacation trip. I don't think I'll go back to the eliminator.

Just an FYI. That pipe is not powder coated. It has a high temp, 1300f metallic ceramic thermal barrier coating on it. This is an insulating coating, ie;, you can hold your hand an inch or two away from a 1000f pipe and not burn your hand! Sorry, it's my baby!

So then does that mean it would just be a waste of time to wrap it with some kind of insulation? Something like that stick on underhood insulation.
