I have read many people on here that have pulled the Silencer Rings off. I have also seen the pics and thread on how to do it. But I haven't seen anybody mention if pullin it out can adversly affect the truck in any way. :confused013: Will I lose any power at all if I pull it out. :confused013: I read somewhere that Chrysler acyually had Holsett put them in. :confused013: How much louder does it make the Turbo? Thanks fer any input. :thumbsup:

the only way you will tell a difference is if you have an open intake like a cai or something

it doesn't effect the spool time or the power, it just makes you feel faster cause the turbo sounds ba-daz

Seriously, just go try it. If you don't like it put it back in. Guess you don't have that option. I'd be more worried about that Holley LP than anything...

I pulled mine out and did notice that the turbo took longer to spool up than normal. Kinda bugged me so I put it back in. The 4" straight pipe took care of wanting to make it so I could hear it.
