hello, I am new here. I have a 09 sierra 5.3 and I am looking to get an exhaust system. I previously had a 03 silverado SS with JBA headers and a magnaflow system that I really liked but alot of people on here seem to not like them. Since the engine size in my old truck is different than my new one I know that I cannot expect to get the same sound so that is why I am asking for some advice. I want it to sould very clean and quiet at cruising speeds. I liked my old setup but I am not sure which route to go on the new one. thanks

Any system by Corsa or dB Performance Exhaust should give you a great sound without the annoying AFM/DOD resonance. They might cost a little more, but the exhaust note is SO sweet!

I was looking at those, I really was looking to do the side exit before the rear tire, does anyone have any pros or cons to this application?

I used to have a Gibson SuperTruck system that exited in front of the RR tire, but sold it because of that AFM/DOD sound I mentioned before. But it might not bother you like it did me.

I used Flowmaster tips instead of the Gibson ones.

I know they used to sell just the dB mufflers by themselves but don't think they do anymore.

Anyone have some more info??

60 bucks.... cut off the muffler right at the very front near the inlet pipe and exhaust hanger, leave enough to put on a custom bent 3" pipe right out the side about 2" under the front shackle hanger.

NO MUFFLER is correct NO MUFFLER, the only thing i did was cut off the exhaust from the muffler inlet back and had a 3" custom bent piece of stainless welded on, no tip, no mandrel, none of that. some people like it, some think it was cheap and not well done. I think it is the best bang for the buck. the tip alone was double what i paid for the custom pipe.... screw that, thats why i got stainless in the first place. it sounds best at 3200 after warm up in any gear doing a little work i.e. going uphill. no back fire either, it sounds just like the video here

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      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.
