I removed mine on both 6.7s (17 and 18), both the foam and the plastic. I believe it’s supposed to be strictly for noise suppression. Didn’t notice a power difference, but did get more whistle, and the peace of mind knowing that foam wouldn’t get sucked into the turbo. Both of them were folded up like that as well.
I have a 2014 ram dually , took it out and I can hear the turbo wine up more, dealer said that's not a filter it's a noise suppression canister, the bracket is just to hold the foam nothing else
Marian Blair has a video on removing the plastic insert.Data shows it works slightly better with it in place. I put an S&B intake on mine and the cone is no longer there.
I took the whole thing out on my 17 and you can really hear that turbo now. Like 6.7lime said a few a years ago when you buy an aftermarket air intake it's just a straight pipe to the turbo
I have a 19 3500HO and I took my turbo silencer out and at the same time I took that X thing and it was making my turbo surge. So I put it back in and now I just got my AFE intake. And you can really hear the turbo now. Super load and nice.
It might do a little for flow but it's a sound dampener. They've been using them for a while. Not sure when Dodge started but I had one in my 04 5.9l. Only difference is you couldn't remove it. It was part of the pipe so only way to get rid of it was replace it with an aftermarket piece. Pulled the whole unit out of my 17 and wife's 18 6.7l and haven't noticed any difference in performance, just the turbo being a little louder.
Its the intake baffle. I took mines out well the foam part. It feels like it dont lag as much and you can hear turbo lil bit more. And the engine break is louder.
I removed mine on a 19 I noticed no horsepower gain or loss you can hear the turbo a little bit louder. The only thing that I can think that it is supposed to do is quiet the turbo down a little bit and possibly keep your intake from collapsing under extreme boost but I really don’t see that happening. Thanks for your videos a few of them have helped me through the process with my truck
Damn bro I am glad you made this video because I took my foam thingy out a year ago and meant to put the plastic part back in but I totally forgot! You da man! Oh yeah I didn’t notice any difference..
Eddie as far as the turbo not working right, as far as I’m aware I have a late 18 I bought in December 2018 and I took mine out, I notice a difference in the turbo whistle and then I also installed an S&B cold air intake. Which if I’ve left that foam and plastic piece in there would’ve been removed once I install the cold air intake,so the people that saying the turbo wouldn’t work right if you remove the foam in plastic doesn’t make sense. once you install an aftermarket intake it’s gone anyway, I did not notice any difference in my performance just the loudness, once I put the S&B intake on I did notice thought a response picked up a little, A definite sounded better, hope this helps.
Well if you are not cheap and buy the full K&N cold air kit you can't put the silencer back in and I noticed more of a whistle from the turbo and what felt like a faster spoil up from the turbo
I took the foam and plastic on my third gen also removed turbo silencer ring. They are there to help cut down on turbo noise. I believe if you go to the older cummins they dont even come with them.
I replaced my intake tube with a K&N intake that had a replacement tube and it’s a straight tube and I get a louder turbo and no loss in turbo spool. I would gut that tube completely.
That is an intake baffle aka intake muffler it does absolutely nothing but sound reduction, take it completely out before it goes threw your turbo because I've saw that before at my shop.
Took mine out my 16 but left the plastic air flow controller in...it keeps the air in laminar flow. This is where the flow is controlled to give the tubo its biggest bite of volumetric efficiency to deliver more air when the demand increases. Turbulent flow is what you get without the plastic and might lead to overheating the turbo.
I keep hearing it’s for turbulence but any aftermarket intake tube dose not have anything they are wide open, so I’m confused on what I should do as far as keeping it in or taking it out
I took out my hole thing out the plastic thing and filter and it has better throttle response and feels the same otherwise and u can hear the turbo more
I've got an S&B on my 08 and they don't have the cone piece. Before I got the CAI, I had removed just the foam because I thought that the plastic piece must serve some sort of purpose if they went to the trouble to design it like that. I really like my S&B by the way, you should get one!
I took mine out of a 2018 and removed the foam but put back in the plastic baffle/tornado thing. Watched a few other TH-cam Vids with Marion and he put up the actual data. Better with the baffle thing in and without the foam.
@@EddieLife3500 Is yours a 2019 or 2020? If so they don't have the foam. Oh and update on mine without the foam there is no significant or zero difference in sound. I'll leave out the foam in case the foam goes bad.
Took mine out just to keep that crap from going in to turbo no power difference very slight turbo sound but i got 5" turbo back with double r diesel tunes and i love all the noise i can get lol i also got the sound tunes and that turbo whistle is insane.
Interesting, banks power made a video and dyno tested this. The cone make a horse power difference. Leave it in. You'll have more power but take the home out. Wish I would have kept mine.
Shawn Boyd Did he say he was gay? That seems to be to only reason to put up tow mirrors without a load to check on back there. And it makes your truck look like dumbo...
I only watch your videos cause its you it’s entertaining but i will never understand why people like the way diesels sound😂 they all sound like crap to me no matter what exhaust you got going on or what truck it is😂

There’s a silencer ring on the turbo you can take off to make it sound louder. Turbo whistle
Take the ring out.it ll make louder
How do you do this
Michael Rosenberg theres 3 dowels that need to be drilled out of the turbski housing to remove the inner most ring
This guy is clueless lol
Marian Blair has a video on removing the plastic insert.Data shows it works slightly better with it in place. I put an S&B intake on mine and the cone is no longer there.
Rider Rm250 did you put the s&b on a 2019?
No I put the S&B intake on my 2015 ram
I took the whole thing out on my 17 and you can really hear that turbo now. Like 6.7lime said a few a years ago when you buy an aftermarket air intake it's just a straight pipe to the turbo
I took my stock intake out and put the S&B cold air intake in and the turbo sound has gotten much louder.
I have a 19 3500HO and I took my turbo silencer out and at the same time I took that X thing and it was making my turbo surge. So I put it back in and now I just got my AFE intake. And you can really hear the turbo now. Super load and nice.
Thanks man thats good to know
Fix the blinking light in the garage
I took mine out in my ‘19 3,000 miles with it out so far, really no noticeable difference except maybe a minute bit of added turbo noise
All it is a baffle. It makes it less induction noise in the cab
When you go aftermarket, go S&B. Don’t fall for the $500.00 brands like AFE that tell you you’ll gain 50hp and 80lb/ft of torque from a cold air lol

I took the whole damn thing out of mine foam plastic fish and all
Damn bro I am glad you made this video because I took my foam thingy out a year ago and meant to put the plastic part back in but I totally forgot! You da man! Oh yeah I didn’t notice any difference..
It’s a restriction remove it less turbulence in an intake the better it performs
Joe Zilla no in a Dodge it’s a baffle thay have been useing them since 05 I’m going by what banks said about it
There’s also other mods that should be done a long side it like removing the ccv lines from the intake
All this stuff makes the truck carb compliant

That shits gotta go man! Restrictive air flow. Was only for noise reduction. My opinion of course
You should take the silencer ring on the turbo
How?
I haven’t took mine out but my friend took his out all the way out and it hasn’t affected his truck at all and his is 2018 tradesman
remove it and threw silencer ring. You will have more air flow and a the ring a louder turbo
Well if you are not cheap and buy the full K&N cold air kit you can't put the silencer back in and I noticed more of a whistle from the turbo and what felt like a faster spoil up from the turbo

Banks intake makes her 😗😗 nice and loud !have one on my truck

i figured there had to be a reason thanks man

Watch Marion Blair’s TH-cam videos on this. He uses science and data to answer all your questions.
Agreed I put mine back in after watching his vid. It's a venturi and directs the air directly into the turbo. Better performance with it in.
I pulled mine out of my 08 6.7 when I added the s&b intake and it sounds much better
Did you just remove the foam or the cone too?
When I took mine out I maxed my turbo psi on a stock truck
I have read that it just to quiet down the air turbulence and noise from the turbo on my 2014.
I took out my hole thing out the plastic thing and filter and it has better throttle response and feels the same otherwise and u can hear the turbo more
When in doubt, pull it out
I've got an S&B on my 08 and they don't have the cone piece. Before I got the CAI, I had removed just the foam because I thought that the plastic piece must serve some sort of purpose if they went to the trouble to design it like that. I really like my S&B by the way, you should get one!
Take it all out I did wont hurt anything also take the turbo silencer ring out
I took mine out of a 2018 and removed the foam but put back in the plastic baffle/tornado thing. Watched a few other TH-cam Vids with Marion and he put up the actual data. Better with the baffle thing in and without the foam.
I watch that video also but my truck never came with the foam
@@EddieLife3500 Is yours a 2019 or 2020? If so they don't have the foam. Oh and update on mine without the foam there is no significant or zero difference in sound. I'll leave out the foam in case the foam goes bad.

I pulled out the metal ring on the turbo of my 2003 3500 & it made a noticeable difference. Not sure if the 2019 has the same.
Look like baffles to quiet the turbo. I doubt they have any gains performance wise. Probably slows the spool.
A good cold air intake makes the turbo whistle like you want it to. My s and b on the 4th gen sounds really good
David K just put the Banks Ram Air on my ‘19 L5P and I’ve been driving around with the windows down in New England just to hear the whistle
Any more noticeable power or mostly sound?
supperterofsanity truck felt a little more responsive and on average, with civil driving, gained about 1-2 mpg on highway
I hear the turbo very loudly at cold starts and I’m bone stock, and it is very noticeable when I’m on the accelerator.
Interesting, banks power made a video and dyno tested this. The cone make a horse power difference. Leave it in. You'll have more power but take the home out. Wish I would have kept mine.
Pulled mine out didn’t notice any power loss.
ALWAYS PULL OUT EDDIE!!
I had my foam start to come apart ,no difference in sound to me but take it out,I took the whole assembly out made no difference
Dude I see that ur ram is deleted ? Or what u did to make it sound so nice
DM me on Instagram
If you put a cold air intake it wouldn’t have that long plastic piece that you put back in
Pulled it out
Turbo louder
Performance same
Hey Eddie happy thanksgiving to you and your family !
Thanks man you to
I think they just reduce the noise, get rid of it!!
Just buy an S&B the quality is better then stock and it helps when you have it “deleted”
What size clamps did you use?
That's an air intake muffler.... Muflles the back noise of the engine. No purpose other than turbo noise
Let me guess, the silencing ring
Delete the turbo silencing ting. Should be like 3 little rivets to drill out. Easy.
My 2020 didn’t have nor my brother 2021 Cummins
Is there a way to make the exhaust louder on a stock ram
Dpf delete
It's for noise suppression that's it !!!! They want the new diesels quieter
Will pulling this foam void the warranty?
no
which tonneau cover did your buddy install?
bak industries rollbak cover
No taking it out gains more power it restricts air flow take that plastic pease out too
Pull all tht shit out cause I got more power, more throttle response, and a full 2 mpg with it out
I think the manufacturer has a reason for putting the foam there, don’t listen to ppl
I pulled the foam off but left the big dildo in for the air flow to the turbo. I have a 2018.
I pulled mine out
Pulled it off my 15 not much diff
The cone does nothing for the truck and restrict the air flow is junk
put your tow mirrors up🤦🏾♂️
Shawn Boyd Did he say he was gay? That seems to be to only reason to put up tow mirrors without a load to check on back there. And it makes your truck look like dumbo...
I had the fish thing on my 2010
Dang Cali dope feins
Banks ram air all day buddy!!
Greg A videos will help you alot
get a bigger turbo
Take that thing off that doesn't help on nothing
I only watch your videos cause its you it’s entertaining but i will never understand why people like the way diesels sound😂 they all sound like crap to me no matter what exhaust you got going on or what truck it is😂
Try the pedal commander. It woke my aisin up!
Hes already custom tuned
@@kwmiked hey brother, I'm tuned as well but it doesn't help like the pedal commander does with the throttle sensitivity
I can tell you from experience. No.
Supposevly
