Hi everyone.
I just bought a 2008 F250 6.4l with a 5" straight pipe. It's been deleted/emissions modified I guess but no changes appear under the hood. I love the truck -- engine runs great, transmission is smooth, 4x4 works well, etc......but it's WAY TOO LOUD for me. I love diesel engines, but diesel mods that interest me involve increasing engine life, fuel efficiency, quieter, etc. I'm not into coal rolls, smoke, etc. -- nothing against it, just not what I want on a daily work/driving truck. Maybe at the truck pull.....
I have a diesel mechanic buddy that is worried about any reduction/obstruction to the exhaust because it's been deleted and fuel economy reduction. What options might be a good compromise to make it quieter but have little impact on fuel economy and engine life? I like a little turbo whistle but I think it's just obnoxious as-is -- especially when I have to go to the city. I feel like I can't even enjoy hearing the engine over the exhaust noise.
Any suggestions would be welcome, I'm here to learn.
