I didn’t get any additional turbo noise after installing my exhaust.
You have a giant muffler in the way by means of a def system, that’s why it didn’t get any louder. You can straight pipe it but if you still run def you won’t be any louder.

For sure. My original question was specifically regarding air intakes that provide a louder turbo sound, but you replied about exhaust systems.

I replied to YOUR comment about YOUR exhaust, giving you an answer as to why you didn’t get any additional noise from it. If you want MY opinion on how to make your turbo noise louder, see post #2

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.
I understand your point, but this is where radicals get their anti gun bs from…. 😑

Bullshit. It’s from all the people that are actually shooting other random people. We’re way beyond people worrying about jokes on a forum. 10 at a water park in Michigan just a few hours ago.
