It's turbo back-pressure that makes that noise, I think. Might need to change your turbo, depending on your current setup.

A decat should do it. Not sure if you need the back box there or not, the back box on mine was there and defo made the owl 'kooooing' noise.

It's pot luck with these motors. I had a de-cat turbo back, one box setup and didn't get the owl hoot dispite running high boost on a standard turbo.

I thought all that is needed is the backbox delete mod? or as some people call it, a "Mufflerectomy"
