I have a 2021 6.2 Chevy Silverado, and just did a muffler and flapper delete. Sounds amazing but is way to loud on the highway and drones way too much for me. I am wanting to put a muffler back on but I want one that is as loud as I can get with no drone. I was looking at the Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow, the 40 series delta flow, or a Magnaflow 22 inch muffler... I am wondering the pros and cons of all of these, if they drone, and how loud they really are. I have watched a bunch of Youtube videos on them and they just don't do a justice for how loud the drone is. If you guys have any other suggestions for what to put on there I am open! Thank you!

Anyone else out there waiting for Corsa to get their cat back out for our 2019 6.2's with CC and standard bed? I'm hoping it will be out soon. Kind of disappointed that they don't have it out yet. I know the standard bed hasn't been out very long, only 3 months. I wish I lived closer to them, they could have used my truck as a test bed for the new exhaust. But a 10hr drive is just a bit to far away. It will be interesting to hear the difference between the GM performance exhaust, Borla, Flowmaster and Corsa. -
Ok. So I have been battling myself on what I want to do for exhaust. I had just recently rebuilt the engine as well as boring it thirty thousandths over and threw some shorty headers on it. I took a gander underneath my truck and it looks like it would be easy to turn into a dual exhaust. What it is it comes down from the header and its dual all the way until the muffler in the back. Goes into Muffler dual inlet then single outlet. I thought just cutting the muffler off and putting two glass packs underneath. Considering it's winter where I am I was going to wait and buy a bent exhaust that arches over the driver side and make it connect to the glass pack on the driver side. Then reuse or even buy a new exhaust pipe that goes over the passenger side and connect it to the exhaust that is on the passenger side. I guess what I am trying to ask is how do you guys think I should go about this. I want pretty cheap but also not cheap to where it will only last me one or two years. I would also like feedback on what you guys think of my idea and if you did the same thing how it sounds. Also throw other suggestions out there if there is a better way to do it. Thank you. Edit: It is a 1997 k1500 extended cab and short bed. 5.7l (Tech. 5.8l now bored over.) with shorty headers on.

Pointing out that the exhaust heat makes up about 60% of the total energy generated from gasoline in a vehicle, the new system being studied would take back five to 10 percent of that energy for use in the vehicle. Alex Borla, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Borla, commented on the idea, saying, “Our customers count on us to deliver the highest quality exhaust products while also helping them manage their most pressing challenges for the Class 8 truck fleet operator, and that’s fuel efficiency. As we expand into new markets, it’s our vision to combine Borla’s state-of-the-art exhaust and filtration technologies with thermoelectrics, and Alphabet Energy is the ideal partner to fulfill this vision.” If the technology proves successful in large vehicles it could later be scaled to fit light trucks.

John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 6/24/2015 Borla, the exhaust company we all know and love, has partnered with Alphabet Energy in a novel approach to energy recovery. The idea is to capture the waste-heat in the exhaust stream of a vehicle. That energy will be converted to electricity using Alphabet Energy's thermoelectric technology. Once converted to electricity, the power can be used to support the alternator, replace the alternator, or to power vehicle components using electricity.

Hey everyone, I have an exhaust question to ask. So the story goes, I have my 2005 GMC Sierra and I love my truck. However, it is bone stock and this is the longest I've ever had a bone stock vehicle without trying to do something to it. I really want to install a Flowmaster exhaust. I also really like the Flowmaster Super 44 and Super 40 series mufflers as well as the American Thunder. I've been shopping around and found that the average exhaust kit for my truck can easily run about $400. The issue I see is not only do I not want to spend $400 to replace the exhaust pipes and muffler when I only want to change the muffler. I'm also too lazy to do all that work lol. With that said, what would you guys suggest I do? I was hoping I could just swap out the muffler with a single outlet muffler and add a little extra exhaust pipe in case the stock muffler is bigger than the Flowmaster clamp it back together and call it good. By doing that would I still be able to get the aggressive sound I want my truck to have? I know dual exhaust sounds better but I've seen a lot of single outlet exhaust set ups that also sound really good. Would I be better off getting a dual outlet muffler and leaving off the exhaust pipes? Any and all input is appreciated. Thank you guys ahead of time for the advice! I would not mind if my truck sounded like this!
