if you take off the silencer ring its not a big deal trust me unless u have an aftermarket cone filter it sounds like a jet

 

pulled them form both my cummins... hate them... intake and straight piped them both and ditched the rings... i did leave them in the glovebox incase someone else wanted them in... i had a 98.5 and a 03...

 

2010... dang... guess nobody hangs out in the cummins section here... lol... sorry guys just noticed...

 

you should actually talk to someone who has these trucks removing the siilencer ring removes the baffle which increases the noise. I have an 05 ram 3500 so I can tell you from experience it is noticeably louder but not ridicoulous throw in a CAI and it gets much louder
