Ford 7.3 turbo: exhaust too loud
Purchased (new to me) Ford 250, 7.3 ltr turbo, 126000 miles. Exhaust has been modified and has big tip. Wife says too loud. (I have to agree) Saw 4.5 inch tip silencer that attaches to tip of exhaust...

7.3's are naturally loud. Add a custom exhaust and you can get mind numbly loud.
Take it to a shop and have them take a look and give an opinion.
Thanks!

I doubt that much of the noise is from the exhaust!! The 7.3 and 1st and 2nd gen Cummins are naturally noisy due to the single event combustion.
You will get over it once you tow with it.Okie1 wrote:
I will agree that 7.3 Powerstrokes are very noisy engines but NOT from the exhaust. You probably don't have a muffler at all. There is no way you can hear any exhaust noise over the engine noise in mine....
He will soon learn that the early diesels are just noisy, no matter the size of the muffler the single injection event, is just plain loud.
:B
You want noisy?...................how about a 94-97 Cummins! these were as noisy as they come!
