Any improvement on turbo whine to go along with less restriction?

Update after more driving. I can hear the turbo better a low speeds and the S&B intake sounds different. The AT4 OEM 20" Goodyear Territory MT's drown out the noise at speed. There also seems to be less turbo lag and slightly better acceleration. I've not driven it enough yet to see if there is any MPG +/-.

 

Would I do it again, yes. The install was very easy (about 20 minutes total) and the part is very high quality compared to the OEM piece. Not saying the OEM piece isn't quality because it is, but the billet aluminum vs the plastic bulge is nigh and day difference. The part has the same connector to the turbo as the OEM part.

Well, today I ordered the Retrax Pro XR.  Once it arrives, I'll post pics.

I love the XR. I have had three on three different truck.  They are beasts.

 

one note if you have a short bed.  Don’t be afraid of moving it off the bulk head (back of bed) a bit.  I mounted mine and it barely covers the edge of the tail gate.  No leaks but will move back a bit. Maybe 1/4” more. See pics. 
 

enjoy it.  Well worth the price you pay.

Thank you, I can’t wait to get it and set it up!

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
