- Thank you guys for tuning in and watching this short install video of how to possibly achieve a louder turbo sound haha whether it works or not is your judgment, personally I think it made the exhaust not a little bit more raspy. Who knows, more videos coming soon thanks again for watching and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already I'd really appreciate it! Have a good one!
Thank you for taking a video after with the turbo actually spooling... blows my mind how many people just videoed the sound of their exhaust, sitting idle, before and after...
Your welcome!
I have tested this with and without the resonator box on the intake several times over 12 years of owning my lbz. If you think about how a turbo works, there is no way removing this can effect the exhaust sound(not enough to notice anyway). The intake side (compressor wheel) is on the intake side and it gets its power to spin from the exhaust side of the turbo via the turbo shaft, other than that, they are totally separate. My conclusion after trying this multiple times over the years is that the resonator was designed to either reduce audible turbo intake sound or increase it. I'm almost convinced that when you remove the resonator box the perceived turbo whine (in the cab) is reduced. You would be surprised at how much money and engineers manufactures will throw at what the driver hears when driving. I believe the original ford mustang gt 5.0 liter spent some kind of record amount on acoustical engineers to perfect the exhaust note on that car...which even today, is still one of the most talked about and copied exhaust notes. Thanks for your video. Try listening to what you hear in the cab while driving (with and without the resonator) and let me know your thoughts on this. You're younger and probably have better hearing than me lol
Thanks for your response I didn’t even know that! My thoughts were similar it’s hard to tell any difference from the outside, but it gives you more access to the engine and cleans it up a bit. But that’s something I did notice was the turbo whine from the inside
@@zachmerrittmusic louder or quieter in the cabin?
@@zachmerrittmusic was the turbos louder or quieter from the interior
@@treybecker5637 he’s gone mute guys
@@treevus9898 I mean I can do the rest for you? Picked up a stock lbz last week with a tuning knob in it, that’s it. So I can’t hear my exhaust good to begin with 😂. So I should be able to easily tell on this!
All I can do is giggle in delite. I got the same engine and same sound every time I fire it up makes me happy! The sound before and after are close but after listening a few times the mod gave u more depth. Thank you for sharing:)
thanks for watching!
Your truck sounds AMAZING without even doing the mod! You'll probably won't notice any difference in sound. Yours was purely cosmetic.
shaun huckabee yeah I would have to agree, it was hard to tell the difference but it was fun either way haha less clutter in the engine bay lol
I just deleted your resonator delete idea...
You had a great idea but now..
I just put a k&n air filter off of 1992 Kawasaki EX500 fits on there perfect and looks amazing... Almost doubles the sing of the turbo
Ron Downard nice dude!!
There’s no way to be better than that sounds extremely good 👍👍👍👍
thanks for watching!!
“It was just laying on there, not even firmly tightened down”
At 2:01 you grabbed it and wiggled, it didn’t budge. You didn’t have the torx screw tip so you pulled it pulling the rubber grommet through. Lol don’t lie brother..
100% legit it was loose 😂😂
Get a flow restricter for your wastegate and it’ll give you some more turbo sound for sure
Think of this! The sound comes from the turbo so the only way that sound can get outside is through the inlet which is your air box or the outlet which is your exhaust. You can cut out the muffler to make it louder because a Duramax is known for being quiet anyway but this will not give turbo whistle. This turbo is not make to do that. You would have to install a turbo from Ryan’s Diesel Service with a 9 or 10 blade wheel to get that sound. Both of them sound great and the do sound just slightly different than each other. On a stock motor you would go with a 64mm turbo
That 9 blade sounds sooooo dirty I might accidentally buy it
I don't mean to be argumentative but the information you are providing is not accurate. The compressor and turbine both create the high pitch , jet engine sound that comes from pitched metal blades spinning really fast. Removing a muffler or straight piping the exhaust will absolutely increase the turbine sound out of the exhaust...and I mean, really increase it, even on a stock turbo. To test this, after you get rid of the kitty (LBZ) and or muffler, drive by a building or any hard structure on the passenger side, roll down your window and slightly accelerate and let off, your exhaust whistle will be very pronounced bouncing off that hard surface and it exactly what is heard if you were standing there and your truck drove by. You do NOT have to install any aftermarket turbo and it definitely does not have to be a Ryans turbo (though they are some of the best). A friend of mine straight piped his wifes VW turbo diesel that is bone stock and turned it out just past the drivers door. That little turbo whistles very loud, even at idle. Other than freeing up the exhaust, the next best thing you can do is change out the compressor wheel. There are many options to choose from and almost all of them will increase the turbo whine on the inlet side, some are designed specifically for that.
Side note; we all love to hear those turbos whistle but if it is really loud and you drive your truck on long trips, it can get overbearing after a few hours of cruising. Don't ask me how I know this... After straight piping my LBZ, after about a year I installed a muffler. She still whistles and still has the stock turbo but it not annoying on long trips, especially when loaded.
@@bransonred1 ok I see that you actually agree. Read my post again. Cutting the muffler out will make it louder however the turbo whistle such as the one from Ryan’s diesel comes from the type of blades used. We agree that the sound comes from the inlet and outlet of the turbo and not through the steel but normal turbos only put out a very faint whistle. Look into turbos such as Ryan’s and others and even some performance diesels do not have a whistle sound to them. Ryan’s found that with a 9 or 10 blade uniquely shaped blade they were able to get a strong jet sound from the turbo without it affecting performance
@@zackk695 I agree and see where the confusion lies. We're talking about whistling from opposite ends. No harm-no foul. I'm very familiar with Ryan's turbos and you are correct, several of their impellers will really crank up the whistle on the intake side. But if you open, just the exhaust on a LBZ duramax by deleting the kitty especially and straight piping or at least a high flo muffler, it will whistle pretty loud. Granted, that is the whistle from the turbine side, but you will get much less turbo lag by removing all that resistance in the exhaust so that will increase out the exhaust even more. Adding even just a compressor wheel swap will add huge whistle on the intake side depending on which one you choose, so she'll be whistling out both ends much better. But for you young whipper snappers, trust me when I tell you to keep drivability in mind. If you drive your rig on long trips that whistling will make you regret your decision lol. Kind of like clapped out squatted trucks with straight pipes and blue tooth front axles, it may seem cool riding around town but that is where the fun ends. I have an open exhaust and I went back to my stock intake after my friend that tuned it gave me a lesson in why to never run those hi-flow air filters. I used to run one and he pulled my intake off and wiped his fingers on the inside on the tube and it was just black/gray crud. Those massive stock filters are probably one of the best filters on the market for a balance of flow and filtration, in my opinion.
Dang you had to go in reverse, you must love that sound. I can't lie I do too 😂 lol
Can’t not like that sound 😎
Holy shit! I didn’t expect it to sound so good. I know what I’m doing next.
Lb7 ppe boost valve is another awesome and cheap duramax performance part
Got it when I did some other go fast parts hahah
Thanks for the tip. I have 06 2500hd Duramax 6.6 diesel.
heck yeah
I have an 04 slt quadrasteer I'm using to build mine with. Combining 4 different trucks into 1. I'm going to video it but it wont be until the middle of summer. I have a new garage going up in the spring. Gotta get that out of the way first.
niceeee
How do you not have more subscribers? Great content my man keep em comin'
Honestly its probably because I haven't been consistent with uploading hahaha, Ive been busy with school but Im going to have some really good videos coming soon about the truck and moto!! But hey thanks for supporting and showing some love man I appreciate that! Stay tuned alright!
With that being loose and now sealed, I csn hear that let off more-for sure
Ever since this video it has still stayed solid. No loose caps here
Got a 05 duramax that I’ll be doing that to now. Am too use to Cummins so whole different all game.
Cummins are easier to work on. I did injectors on my lly and it was rough lol
Sounds like Majin Buu letting off steam lol
Found your video because I was searching for what happens to a duramax engine when the resonator is loose. I found the same situation you had on my truck earlier… resonator just sitting on top of the engine but not firmly clamped in place. Just took a long road trip and mpg was not as good as usual. Perhaps this was part of the problem?
Maybe so, could be so many things as to why mpg could be poor
Keep posting man I love your channel
YuNo_Pollo_ Loco245 thank you so much!
Not a mod people
If anything better before you removed it.
those that think it’s louder it’s called “placebo effect “- your mind is telling your ears something that’s not true, blocking it blocks the acoustics that the resonator was producing - if any-
Plus engine bay looks incomplete without it
Just my 2cents
Hope everyone has a great! 2022!
Let’s Go Brandon!!!!
You probably right hahaha
Should be picking up dirty max tomorrow. Super stoked! This might be the first mod.
Heck yeah how you liking it?
So i read the comments and saw that you have a lly with efi live tune. Does the truck throw a engine code if you dont have efi live? And is your truck from California or was it bought new from North Carolina
Tht doesn’t cause anything bad if you do that?
I thought the whistle sounded louder. Nice video.
Tracy Porter I think so too! Worth a shot anyways right?
@@zachmerrittmusic is this just a lbz thing or lb7 also
@@durtysouthkustomz8862 all dmax
@@Luke-jq5ke you must be wrong about that one because my lb7 doesnt have that spot to cap off
How is the rubber plumbing part withstanding the heat of the engine bay?
It hasn’t failed yet that was one of my concerns but I think I’ll eventually get a billet piece.
Before you even did this mod. How you get your truck tho whistle like that?
Two things a different turbo compressor wheel with different blades and a tune that causes the turbo to open more when at idle.
Goodnight, I have a 2005 lly. What modifications did you do before this video to get the whistle sound?
How come the blow off is so loud? I love that sound but I’m not sure what to do to get it. I for sure want the louder turbo though
Idk what he’s done to his. But I’d suggest getting a 10 blade turbine.
I do it alllll the time hahaha
What tunes do you have? I need that turbo sound in idle!!!!
What turbo you got on there? That’s not stock… sounds great. Asking because I want mine to wine lol
Stock, but the LLY platform has the largest turbos put on the classic body style. Which is why they spool louder than the other models
If that’s an lly did you change your turbo mouthpiece and maybe want to do a pvc reroute.
Did the reroute, big help. Also check for the gromit because it’ll leak if it’s not in place lol
Sounds better. After
It was a minor change but if anything it cleans up the engine bay
Go Tigers!!
how bout them tigers!
Did you have any turbo work done or is that just stock with straight pipe exhaust?
Zach Smestuen no it’s a stock turbo with a 5 inch straight with an intake
! Sounds pretty good!
What kind of intake ?
Is the 5” Pype a performance brand or any 5 inch from any muffler shop ?
@@rodrigobadillo9885believe is a S&B brand getting one my self seem better covered than k&n brand one
Wat all have you done to the truck
4inch lift, 10 wide wheels with 35x12.50 venom tires, headlights tailights, nerf bars, intake, 5 inch straight pipe, efi live tuning from Danville performance
I know it adds turbo noise but does it do anything about hoursepower
No.
nah I don't reckon soo

How do I get my truck to spund like that!?
What exhaust are you running? Is the truck stock otherwise?
5 inch! just tuning, and an intake, injectors soon
You wouldn’t have lost any power because the resonator wasn’t sitting on right, but it was probably sucking unfiltered air into your motor.
Chad Whittaker yeah glad I actually looked and checked😂
@@zachmerrittmusic how is it holding up?
@@chadwhittaker5809 it’s holding up great! I don’t romp into it too much but truck itself is super solid! Thanks for watching!
It would cause a loss in power on a factory tune. If the intake air bypasses the MAF sensor then the ECM will only meter an appropriate amount of fuel for the volume of air that the sensor detects. This causes the engine to run lean. Most aftermarket tunes just command max fuel pressure and max injection duration so your airflow sensor won't matter too much.
@@Agent_Smith_Official but that’s after the MAF
Would this work on a lml 2012 gmc
No
I'm sure if its got the resonator
Yes it would. But for LML you need a 1.5" cap instead of 2"
Do you need any type of tune.. ?
What mods have you done, what tuner do you have?
efi live, 5 inch exhaust, s&b intake
What’s the Exhaust pipe size and make ? I got it 05 sounds nothing like yours .. I want to know why!!
4 to 5 inch halfway to an 8 inch tip
What’s done to the exhaust I need mine sounding like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 inch straight!

Dave Ryvncavage awesome hope it turns out sick!
I put one on my truck but not make noise 😢 idk why somebody tell me why please
Any power or mpg improvement, ????
ehh I don't think so
5:41 is there a way I can get my turbo to do that?
Noblesk GD 1/4 throttle then let off it usually does it!
@@zachmerrittmusic I got it straight piped a couple of weeks ago and tbh it’s probably my favorite sound besides when I do a hard pull😂

@@zachmerrittmusic 01's don't have resonators !

Is your truck an lb7
LLY brother
Is this healthy for the engine ?
Sergio Cibrian well being that my initial resonator wasn’t even attached while I was unaware driving I would say it doesn’t hurt, the cap just redirects the air straight into the intake rather than hanging out in the resonator. Does that help? I would assume it’s not going to hurt it.
The resonator does literally nothing for performance. So it’s neither healthy nor unhealthy. Lol
You need to understand the whole purpose of the resonator before deleting it!!!
I keep seeing it will heat up and soak into the turbo and mess it up. Any update after having it for a while
She runs just fine now man, I reckon if any extra air was getting in would cause that but that resonator was apparently not even connected😂 so I’d say it’s running better now that it’s air tight haha thanks for watching!

@@williamjesse1476 good, did not melt at all. I even ended up painting it to match my egr pipe and it didn’t flake at all or anything.
I'm hearing I'll need a tune after this mod so I dont lose power. I'm wondering if this is a bad idea. I feel it made your turbo much more silent in the before after segment.
It won’t hurt anything, only change the sound and cosmetic.
Whoever is telling you that has no idea what they're talking about. That is not even remotely accurate information. Now, that being said, a good custom tune can be a huge benefit and the VGT's can be controlled with the tune. I have EFILive with a 5 position switch hidden where the ash tray use to be. 1 is stock, 2 is economy which has the turbine vanes lay down flat at idle producing no boost and instead of turbine whistle coming out of the exhaust it more like blub, blub, blub...which I hate. The exhaust also smells a little rich when in this mode. 3 is performance mode which is right at +100hp and when driven correctly I get 19 mpg back and forth to work and 21 on the highway with one time hitting 22.2, hand calculated. 13 mpg towing 7k 8x21 enclosed toy hauler. 4 is heavy tow mode and 5 is extreme heavy (with turbo brake). A friend of mine that lives a few hours from me (who happens to be a certified Cummins tech, that owns several duramax's and no Cummins) is an authorized, licensed EFILive installer. I just haven't made my way back down to see him but when I do, he's going to change the tubine vane position on economy mode for me.
no difference
Ehh who knows, frees up space though if nothing else
Is that under Donald Trump economy or Joe Biden economy LGB FJB 😂
