My 12V was LOUD pulling 6 percent grades West Coast. We had to basically yell at each other. The 15 towing 23K and combined 33K is VERY quiet to where we can just talk normally. Yes you can hear the engine but it is no way loud. To compare to a 12V or 2nd gen 24V is not a fair comparison, not even close!

24V win hands down and some of the Fords. I not sure if it was the 7.3 or 6.0, but they run a close second.

I ran a BHAF for several years before getting tried of the turbo noise in the cab, praticlually in the passengers seat.

Yea I ran the BIG pro guard 7 conical filter with silencer ring removed. Also had the 4" turbo back exhaust with zero restriction.

No wonder you guys think the new ones are quiet after running those rigs. I don't know how you could stand it. Like I said, the clatter never bothered me. The low frequency drone does. Taking away the clatter didn't change anything for me. I ran mine without the silencer ring. I liked to hear the turbo. Ran it without the snorkel once and the cider jug hoot from the intake about made my skull crack. Wife couldn't even hear it. Daughter said she wouldn't ride in it again like that.
