Did you notice anything different by doing this upgrade? I’m looking to do this on my ‘22 L5P that I use for hotshot business and seems like the truck is starving for air. I’m also looking into doing the banks ram air as well. I need my upgrades to work not look good. This is my first Duramax that we bought with 25 miles on it. It’s my new old truck now. Started our hotshot business 6 months ago with 8,700 miles. It just rolled 76k yesterday. The L5P with 10 speed transmission is a beast. Almost every is 25k loads. Funny you spoke about Duramax like eating sockets. I lost but found and recovered my 10mm with extension twice cleaning my MAP sensor. Once last night which took me forever to find and the first time about 5 months ago. This is a must thing to do. I do this weekly.

Just found your videos. Awesome content. I have banks ram air intake. At 13:50 the air filter is sticking out of the housing. Is this because the turbo horn is shorter than the factor?

To be honest, I only ran the Banks intake with the WC horn for about a week. Then I swapped to the WC intake. I’m not sure if you could make it fit better. The WC turbo horn is about an inch shorter so that creates the condition. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it. Welcome to the channel!

Howdy! So how much performance gains have all your add-ons given you? I’ve got an ‘18 with the BDS 4.5”, with the Derringer and an AFE intake. This horn looks like a great addition. Planning on adding the Banks 5” exhaust too.

It’s very different from stock. Not like a full EGR conversion (if you know what I mean). But yes. Definitely much quicker than factory. The banks kit def woke it up.

Did you notice a loud scouring sucking sound after install? I have this loud sucking noise anytime I get into the throttle and boost builds up. To the point I hear it over thr radio when the windows are up. It's an obnoxious sound. I've checked my clamps on the banks Ram Air and see no where for air to leak by. Is it the air rushing by the air gaps at the end of the intake horn?

[@linksgarage1985]

A noise that noticeable sounds like it may be a boost leak. When I had just the intake horn and the Banks ram air, I did not have any noise like that. It did however make a slightly noticeable woooosh sound when in the boost. It didn’t get loud for me until I switched to the WC fab intake with the WC fab intake horn.

[@cfawver25]

@@linksgarage1985 I had thr Banks Ram air with resonator delete on the truck for 4 month prior to adding the intake horn last Thursday. So the sound started after the install for the intake horn. But not initially, about an hour into a 3 hr drive its started and hasn't stopped since. I've checked all the intake hose clamps that I've had apart and nothing is loose. When pulling my Turbo S 4 seat on a trailer on a decent grade I seen 26.5 psi of boost, on my iDash. So it's still building boost, just and obnoxious sound I never had before when getting into the boost

Does your stock truck need tuned for this, and whats the benefits of installing this part?

[@linksgarage1985]

No. With the PCV port no tuning is required. Tuning is recommended with a PCV reroute. I’ve heard guys running re route on non tuned trucks with no issues. But it’s not recommended. And this increases airflow from the restrictive factory turbo horn to the 3.5 inch design. Also picked up a bit of whistle in my truck also.
