So loud compared to a SD

[superpsd]

One thing is for sure they are much louder with the window down than up on my 97. Some better insulation on the firewall and floorboards would likely make a difference.

This whole subject is like splitting hairs. None of mine were bad stock. Every mod that improves air or fuel makes them louder. I yanked that dirty, nasty **** off my hood and that added tons of noise.

The newest obs is 20 years old. Even stock they are going to be noisy and clattery pieces.

I like them. Cool trucks. I like my sd 7.3. Cool trucks. Both old pieces of garbage though

This is like comparing the 02- Cummins to the 03+ cummins.

Not really. Same injection system for 7.3s. That split on the cummins is comparing common rail to non common rail. That's a different ball game

Wasn't there a difference in valve covers also?

Around late 96 or so, they started to use the sandwich construction valve covers.
