Recommended Posts

I don't have any exhaust, but seriously looking. Can you guys post some videos of yours along with your setup? I don't want something overly loud, but definitley louder then the GMPP system, I've heard it in person and it's quite quiet if you ask me. Let's hear what ya got!

Corsa sport dual rear exit :thumbs Surprisingly quiet inside, and ferocious outside.

Can't say I saw an improvement,... IF anything, I get worse mileage cause I can't keep my foot out of the peddle :cheers: It's sweet music.

I got the GMPP Performance Tone exhaust about half a year ago now, I absolutely love it. Its kinda quiet when you first start up the truck but as it warms up it definately loudens up, produces a nice tone that is just perfect when it comes to volume, heres a couple videos, but they dont do it justice.

Corsa dB Black muffler with dumped pipe right after muffler. Part Number 8332544. Goodluck finding them if you are looking though. Corsa no longer produces these so only some random local muffler places have them. Sounds amazing while not being too loud. Practically no drone but with the dumped setup I do get a little but I LOVE the sound inside and out. I actually have noticed an increase in MPG but still studying it to make sure it's not just random spikes.

Awesome idea for a thread!

 

I'd post mine but it's stock. :cool:

 

Unless you want to hear the Magnflows and Dynomax Res. on my Grand Prix GTP. :cool:

haha well I promised myself I'd never put exhaust on the truck as I have one of the loudest street cars I've ever heard, and I wanted to keep the truck quiet. It just turned 42k tonight and now I'm itching for some sound. off topic but here are 2 vids of my mustang, they are old but still have the same setup. No recent vids as my camcorder shit the bricks.

 

 

 

vids do it ZERO justice, you can't drive through tunnels or close to high road barriers or you almost gotta cover your ears with the windows down

I am looking to hear and see what you guys with the 6.2L have done with an aftermarket exhaust system.

I would like to have dual exhaust out the rear.

The factory exhaust on the 6.2L sounds quite sweet already. I just want to have duals.

    • Well, I received a message from the dealer...
    • The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps
    • Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too. 
    • I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.
    • Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
