Yup, I have one of those silencers if you need it... they are !LOUD, REALLY LOUD! at 40+ psi.
But, with that said... mine will never have the silencer put back in, MMmwwaaahhhaaaaaa!

so what are you doing for engine break in?
I don't buy the baby it theory at all. That is old, for old engines built to tolerances that are a joke by today's standards. What's your plan? The car looks and sounds awesome. Can't wait to check it out.

Yea I did some reading and babying seems to be the opposite of what you want to do
Lots of people who baby it for break in have compression problems shortly thereafter. For my break in I have or plan on
-change oil once engines up to temp the first time
-change oil after 20mi
-change oil after 50mi
-change oil after 100mi
-change oil after 500mi
-change oil after 1000mi
-switch to synthetic after 2000mi
-change oil once engines up to temp the first time
-change oil after 20mi
-change oil after 50mi
-change oil after 100mi
-change oil after 500mi
-change oil after 1000mi
-switch to synthetic after 2000mi
whats planned?

It's an angled/beveled washer of sorts that goes in around the outer edge
where there is space between the wheel and housing and simply smoothes the flow of air to the turbo. I have heard it does actually allow for a slight bit more power at the high extreme of the turbo's range (low-mid 40 psi and related CFM or so on the Cummins trucks anyway)
I had removed mine and it's on the shelf... I love the sound. he he.
