My dad has a 2007 NBS Silverado 2500 HD with the gas engine (6.0 or 6.2L?). He loves the sound of the Dynomax stainless cat-back system on my 1500 series, but when he spoke to Dynomax, the only system they offer for a 2500 is aluminized.

 

Since we live in the heavily-salted NY/NJ area, he will only consider a full stainless steel system, but it looks like no one really makes a kit for these trucks under $500. Anyone have recommendations for a good full stainless cat-back kit that will not break the bank? He does not care about the sound as much as the quality.

 

Thanks in advance.

Its gunna be pretty hard to find a good 304 stainless exhaust kit for that price. And the only stainless kits that I can think of that fit that truck is Corsa and Magnaflow but there around $800. Another suggestion would be to buy a Dynomax stainless muffler and have an exhaust shop bend you some stainless to fit the truck. But I dont think it will be in the $500 price range your looking for.

We are thinking of measuring the muffler and ordering either a stainless Dynomax Ultra-Flo or Magnaflow and putting in with band clamps ourselves.

The only problem with just cutting out the stock and putting an aftermarket one is that that new one will be shorter so you'll have to get a piece of pipe to make up the difference. I cheaped out and just got a pipe from autozone. Rusted out in a few months.

 

If you go that route I would take it to a shop and have the put it in. One shop quoted me $60 to do it around my area. Yours might be more or less.

 

FYI if you do it yourself with band clamps -where you clamp the pipes together put some anti-sieze on it. It will help stop corrision and things will come apart a easier down the road if you need to.

Thanks! Great advice.

There are a few vendors on Ebay that sell Stainless exhaust pipe in 10' lengths. Might be able to purchase that and have the local shop bend it. Or order a small section of it and purchas a regular cab system and add to it. I would think the only difference between your truck and what is available is how long the system is. You can always add to it to adapt it to fit I would think.

Try searching JBM exhaust web-site for that application, inexpensive but decent quality... I found deals there before for previous vehicles, was impressed with performance and sound, just a little drone.... Good Luck

magnaflow makes a system for the old body style hd's that's stainless steel. If you look around it's like $530 I think . If his is a entended cab long bed you could prolly just buy one for a crew cab long bed and but it down to where you need it. Also Magnaflow has a lifetime warranty on their exhaust

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      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."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      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.
