right!

Now that you mentioned it, I did not see anything other than a muffler ..... so you mean .... from the new down pipe straight on thru....

Guessing on a PSD this means loud, or high pitch turbine sound? Which is what I am looking for that turbine sound! Or is that only on the newer trucks? :rant
