I am wondering what to do about a new exhaust system for my truck. There isn't much out yet for 2010 6.2L. The exhaust it self is 3-3.5" so I am thinking to just get a magnaflow muffler and remove the resonator. I love that the 6.2L has such a big stock exhaust system and it sounds good just too quiet, and part of me don't want to change it to a smaller diameter. Any suggestions on guys who have the 6.2L and changed there exhaust. Is it 3-3.5" all the way back to the cat? Thanks in advance.

I just took the resonator off of mine, just a little louder but it still quiter then a cat-back, best of all it cost me all of 38 bucks to take it to a shop and have them do it.

I just swapped out my muffler in my 3/4 ton because the stock system is pretty good (except the muffler). It is stainless steel, and on my truck it is a true dual 3" system into the muffler then single 3.5" out. If I was running a blower or turbo I might go bigger, but for my truck which is basically stock the factory systems was fine.

I am in the same boat, i am thinking for a replacement Magnaflow or Dynomax muffler and removing the resonator so I can keep the factory exit.

SO the inlet to stock muffler is 3.5" OD and 3 3/8" OD exit, i swapped in a dynomax 3" ultraflow, just neede to expand the inlet i bit and it was a direct replacement. sidein/sideout. P/N 17547, but is available in a 4" P/N 17557 (no gaurantee it fits tho its 3 " longer... just cut more head pipe :banghead:) I left in my resonator, i want to tow womething first before i get rid of it, incase i get drone.

idk about yours but my 6.2 stock exhaust is loud.. sounds like a vette coming down the road. inside is pretty quiet but you can still hear it. Are the pickups quieter?

I find it pretty quiet. Now that you mention it, I noticed an Escalade awhile back and his sounded louder than mind but it was stock as far as I could tell by looking.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact.
