LOUDEST AIR INTAKE FOR 3L DIESEL?

[wader303]

Hello Friends,

I want to upgrade my air intake and would like to know which one offers the greatest increase of intake/turbo sound?

Thank you,
Wade

Just remove the air box, that’s about as loud as it gets. Don’t worry about the codes though, they’ll go away.

A hood stack would be good for some turbo whistle too?

If you want loud, nothing beats the sound of the Dyson vacuum cleaner next to my head in the form of my snorkel prefilter.

This is the wrong engine for good diesel sounds. I recommend you find a wrecked Freightliner Master Medic ambulance, and just swap its Detroit engine into your Jeep. It’ll fit.

Snorkel. Puts it closest to the driver

Dang, isn't the available options for noise from the the exhaust enough?

 

[wader303]

I didn’t get any additional turbo noise after installing my exhaust.

You have to delete it to get more noise. Hood stack for maximum benefit in the cab or tailpipe to piss off everyone around you.

My point is, this is the wrong engine if you want a loud diesel so anything you do is just throwing money away. The videos of before and after aftermarket exhaust system installs are hilarious. You can see the disappointment on people’s faces when there’s essentially no difference after dropping all that dough. It’s a tiny 3.0 V6 designed for efficiency. The fact that you can even get a diesel Jeep convertible pickup is already boss. A full delete is the only thing that might change things noticeably and I suspect that won’t be drastic if sound is the goal. But a full delete if done for show rather than lifespan inevitable means it’s coupled with straight exhaust and a rich tune. And that’s a black smoke belching, out of control EGTs, engine ruining, anti-social, women turn off, cop magnet, pos. I was in my Jeep with the top down the other day behind a Ford like this, while he kept hitting the throttle to pump out soot. I was trying to enjoy my open air truck and instead choking on this shit. My first instinct was to do the world a favor and shoot him in the head. Rolling coal is the antithesis of the whole Jeep vibe. I’m also not sure the tuning and turbo on this thing really results in either much whine or blowoff anyway. So there’s not much there to accentuate.

The only good option if you want a really good diesel sound, like the aforementioned Freightliner, and back in the FD days we used to drive like maniacs to maximize the turbo blow off on those because we were maniacs (and because we wanted to clear our calls and go back to the house), is a Cummins V8 swap and I don’t know of anything that’s available. The EcoDiesel barely fits. Personally, I think it sounds fine the way it is. I have people approach me all the time because they hear it, realized it’s a diesel Jeep, and freak out.

Maybe a bluetooth mic place it near the turbo? Can easily turn it off anytime too.

tried 2 different ones and I went with AFE Momentum." Sounds sweet

Loud? Baffle-less intake tube and an AEV snorkel. Hope you like sucking sounds. You're not going to hear a turbo whistle, but you'll get a bit of the boost recirc chuff on lift off. Up above 10k ft I also got some fun compressor surge sounds but how often are you up there...

My current combo is AFE Rapid Induction intake with the AEV Snorkel and Sy-Klone Pre-Filter with the slighter higher boost of the GDE tune and it's just constant whooooosh.

AFE also makes smooth intercooler tubes but they're really pricey for something that probably won't actually result in any power/efficiency gains or change of sound anyway. One of those things that I might buy if they were half the price just because they're an improvement if anything and I like fiddling with stuff... but not for what they're asking for them.

Well I have experience with three intakes - stock, K&N, and aFe. The K&N is the loudest of the three, by far. Way too loud, in my opinion. Materials quality of the K&N are significantly lower.

Thank you sir.
