I had mine cut off forward of the muffler and installed 2 Borla black chrome tips pn# BOR-20162 $78.99 each and a Borla muffler VP) PRO XS MUFFLER pn#BOR-40349 $136.99 from Summit Racing and had it installed at a shop and total cost was about $625 parts and labor. This is about half the cost of the cat back system Borla offers. and it sounds awesome -

Is accessorizing your truck something that you are currently interested and/or investing in? YES. I put an exhaust on my truck and it took me 2 months of reviewing several different mufflers and the different sounds and quality before I picked the right one. Price is important to me but not enough to quality I only want the best for my truck. my truck represents me and if it looks and sounds cheap it reflects I am cheap. not that I am made of money, but I will spend the money to get good quality long lasting accessories. IF YES: What is your to top priority when choosing accessories for your truck? (Quality/Price/Look/Reviews) IF NO: Why not? (No time/money, inexperience, no vehicle) Would you purchase something because it's priced cheaper, regardless of negative reviews, or options of higher-end, better quality products? (YES or NO) ABSOLUTELY NOT I look for quality, longevity appearance, and durability its worth the extra time and money Would you purchase an accessory purely based on how it looks? Even if that means the product does not work well or may not work at all? NO if it doesn't work or doesn't work well it will not go on my truck or my Jeep- 94 replies

Any exhaust shop can put that on they can expand a fitting for that -
2014+ Engine & Transmission Tuning
Z71DarkDragon16 replied to pendragon's topic in 2014-2019 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust
OK guys I have done some research and read your posts and I have decided to contact BBP for some Info on what they can do for me. it's not all about the cost it's mostly because my truck is new and under warranty and I don't want to do anything that can't be undone if something goes wrong the last thing I want to do is get turned down on a warranty repair because of a tune. But I value all of your opinions so thank you all very much I will keep y'all informed on how it all goes -
2014+ Engine & Transmission Tuning
Z71DarkDragon16 replied to pendragon's topic in 2014-2019 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust
I believe I elaborated enough by saying "Extremely pricey" I want to get rid of the AFM add HP and change the shift points and don't really want to spend $500 doing it. all I've done is the exhaust, I went with a Borla Pro XS muffler and 2 4' black chrome Borla tips which only cost $600 installed. Don't want to go to extreme just want it to shift better and more HP. and I hate the AFM -

2014+ Suspension Lifts
Z71DarkDragon16 replied to plunk77's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I have a 2016 Silverado 1500 Z71 and I want to lift it, I'm looking at Rough Country's 3.5" kit (SKU:175.23) also looking at the Pro Comp 4" kit. (don't have exact model) its about double the price and the reviews on both are up and down on both sides. Any thoughts on which one is the better and why? -

2014+ Exhaust Systems & Mufflers
Z71DarkDragon16 replied to Escalade1979's topic in 2014-2019 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust
Alright, I have a couple questions I hope y'all can help me with. First I have a Borla Pro XS Muffler (pn BOR-40349) with 4"black chrome tips (pn BOR-20162) So my questions are, should I leave the 3rd cat? and should I eliminate the flex pipe? What, if any are the benefits of removing the 3rd cat or leaving the flex pipe? -
Low temperature thermostat?
Z71DarkDragon16 replied to Z71DarkDragon16's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Thanks for all the feedback -
I have a 2016 Z71 Silverado 1500... I have read that changing the 195 degree thermostat to a 160 degree will increase the horsepower. However I live in Massachusetts, so how is that going to affect the heat in the winter? Will it be significant or not much?

I have heard that you can get an Active Fuel Management Disabler to remove the V4 mode if that's the case then it wouldn't matter what muffler you put on, other than your personal favorite. Any thoughts on this subject?????
