Has anyone here installed a flowmaster, magnaflow,ect,ect, muffler in place of an oem on a nbs Silverado, instead of a whole cat back system? I'm dont want duell outs, just single side swept like oem. Will it hurt or improve performance? I cant see spending more money than I need to. :lol: I can get a very high quality muffler for a lot less than a whole cat back system! What do ya think?????

Many have just done a simple muffler swap, me being one of them. It won't get you much improvment, but with just a muffler swap, you can't hardly loose performance. I chose a magnaflow muffler, for it's Stainless Steel body, deep throaty sound, very little drone, and a reasonable price. Also if you looking to put a Stainless tip on also, I got a weld on stainless tip from summitracing.com, for $27 shipped. Here's some pics and a video for ya:

I put a magnaflow on my 08 that has dual outlets and ran the tubes over the rear axle tucked along the frame rails. I turned them down at a 45 degree angle and you cannot see them from behind the truck. It sounds wonderful, but I really doubt that I gained that much power. Like I said, it sounds great. cost me 165

just put a piece of straight pipe in, the rest of the system muffles it so much and it's a single pipe. Sounds awesome too, here's a video of it.

They make cat back systems that are single side swept.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
