Call Ford engineering and find out what they did to make it quieter...then remove it!

An off-road down pipe (y-pipe, no cats) will net you some turbo whistle and some hp. You'll need a custom tune to go with it to avoid a CEL. A cold air intake is the next best option.

It's a v6 with small turbos. IMO, the sound in the video just sounds like it emphasizes that fact and is actually more embarrassing. Sort of like taking a cheap pocket radio and turning it to max volume.

don't get me wrong, I have the Ecoboost and think it's a great engine for towing v-6 or not. But it's not a big diesel with big turbos and isn't going to sound like one.

I would add an AEM drop in dry filter and vent the BOV to atmosphere for inexpensive added turbo sound.

Here's a thought. Spend $100 on a pa system and fix it up to sound like a a big turbo.
