Merchant Automotive 10170 Billet Turbo Resonator Delete Plug 11-16 6.6L GM Duramax LML
Description
You know that big, black plastic box under your hood that sits right in the middle of your engine? Guess what....it does nothing. Well, it does something, it quiets down some of the incoming air charge sound. If you're anything like us, you'd prefer to dress up your engine bay a little, plus get a little extra turbo sound, and its easy with this simple plug from Merchant. You merely remove the resonator box and install this plug and you're done.

About WrenchConnected
WrenchConnected is an independent installation marketplace operating in partnership with Diesel Power Products.
How it works
After checkout, we route your vehicle info and part SKU to verified installation shops near you. Local installers review the job and submit competitive bids; you pick the shop you want based on price, reviews, and availability. Your name and email stay private until you select an installer.
Pricing
You pay for the bid from your preferred shop. The full amount is shown before you confirm — installers cannot add charges without your written consent. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Your privacy
During bidding, shops see only your service ZIP code, vehicle year/make/model, and the part SKU — not your name, email, or address. Only the shop you select receives your contact details after payment. We never sell your personal information.

About Merchant Automotive
Merchant Automotive, LLC was founded in 2004 by Eric Merchant. Eric was a long time employee of GM dealerships before forming Merchant Automotive, LLC. Eric got his start in high school where he discovered his passion for anything with a motor. He took his passion and turned it into a career in 1993 working in a small shop doing brakes and alignment work. He accumulated knowledge daily and soon took a position at a GM dealership in 1995 and advanced up the ranks over the next 10 years. Along the way, Eric studied the business hard, taking over 3000 hours of GM training and maintaining ASE Master Certification since 1998.
In April 2008, Merchant Automotive moved into its current location in Zeeland, MI. The move was a huge undertaking that involved a complete remodel of the building. That building, having over 10,000 sq ft of space, has allowed for greater expansion and a large retail front.
Merchant Automotive staffs only professionals who have an intimate knowledge in all the Duramax/Allison platforms and are dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. Merchant provides you with highly specific technical information not found anywhere else, and many of their products are custom designed and manufactured in-house to maximize the performance and reliability of your truck. The emphasis on product design and specialized manufacturing means that MA can offer you low pricing on products not found at other companies.

"Truck has a nice low tone whistle now. Love it!"
Nice looking piece. Went on
"Nice looking piece. Went on like a breeze."
Quality for good price
"Does what it needs to by removing the restrictive turbo resonator but looks good too. Stainless bolts FTW"
It fits exactly like it
"It fits exactly like it should but I wouldn’t say that the turbo is louder, it just made the engine noise in the cab a little louder. It looks great under the hood."
Don’t waste your money
"I paid for 2 day shipping it only took a week. Do not recommend"
