(single side exit to keep it on the non flashy side). so whats gonna sound

1. gibson single side swept

2. flowmaster 50 series/suv Single side out

3. magnaflow muffler cut in 12259 (other thread is outdated)

Even though I'm a die-hard CORSA fan :omg: I'll vote for the Magnaflow...STAY AWAY from Gibson! :)

 

Oh....Forget about the jet chip also...go with a Black Bear custom tune! :cheers:

I have a Magnaflow and like it very much. I also had a Flowmaster that was not bad, but it rusted out in a couple of years.

 

Based on both build quality and sound, I prefer the Magnaflow.

I have a 50 series single out. Love it. :D

 

 

yeah this is a rare set up probably no one has on a LB 4.8........I think gibson is off the list now. My only question is if i have the cold air S&B intake, some people tell me the 50/SUV series cat back SOS. and the magna 12259 with stock pipe will sound the same.....True or False

Just swapped out my 40 series Flowmaster with a Magnaflow #11229 single in single out with full 3inch pipe all the way back.The Flowmaster was robbing me of low-end power, that I am now enjoying with the Magnaflow :confused: . I'm running a 4.8L in my truck with an Airaid MIT with drop-in K&N filter.

 

Here is a sound clip.......Zembonez asked for one over on TMC.

As the OP stated he wanted performance and sound, Flowmaster (or any chambered muffler) is out. Get a straight-through design like Magnaflow.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
