a free flowing intake and exhaust will give you more whistle but from factory its probably not running a hell of a lot of boost. And more boost = more whistle. for example most big trucks run upwards of around 30 psi, if you ever actually listen to one of those youll notice they whistle like crazy compared to light vehicles.

Just had a look and the intake before the air filter actually is inside the driver side guard... or should I be looking between the air filter and the turbo?

Well technically it is a truck as the Americans call them. Plus they have light truck tyres so that's saying something.

The Kenworth I drive at work whistles its tits off to the point that I am almost deaf from it, I love the sound but sheesh I gotta find a way to quieten it - perhaps a swap with the one on the Colarado lol

I get crazy turbo whistle if I take the pyro gauge out of the dump pipe. But it does get reeeeally annoying after about 5 mins.

Yeah, trucks are definitely called tractors, here's the options menu on a MAN prime mover.
