Silencer Ring Removal-5.9l

[firemedic740]

Step 1: Remove tube running from air cleaner box to turbo .....


Now you can see the silencer ring and snap ring that holds it in place .....

Step 2: Using a screwdriver, GENTLY pry the snap ring out of its groove being careful not to gouge the aluminum turbo housing. Metal shavings = destroyed turbo. Its actually pretty easy to remove..


Now just pull the silencer ring out ...

Here is the turbo with both the snap ring and the silencer ring removed ....

Thats it! ...


 
The whole project took 20 minutes. I do notice the whistle being slightly louder, but im still on the stock airbox. I have a video driving around but its really crappy quality and you hear the tires spinning and not the turbo LOL.
