I've searched and can't seem to find the right answere.

 

I see that Borla and Magnaflow offer exhaust systems for the 2011 sierra Denali model. However does anyone know if the denali exhaust will work with the

6.2 in the SLT or SLE models? I cant imagin thers much differnce between the Denali and The SLT for the exhaust hookups, but then again they dont offer it?

 

Any ideas? I've emailed magnaflow but they havent exactly helped.

I would call Borla and ask simply because they have the better reputation and the better product. I've had Borla systems on two previous Fords and the Borla is an EXACT fit, like 20 minutes to hang the new system and tighten the clamps. Borla also has the 1,000,000 mile warranty in their favor.

Banks would also be a choice to call and talk to their engineering staff about system fit. I know with Banks one system (part number) fits every trim level.

Not too many people want to mod the 6.2 exhaust as it's one of the rare factory systems that actually sound pretty darn good stock.

Yeah as long as your truck is a crew cab it will bolt up fine and line up with all the hangers and i think a ext cab will work too since there the same wheel base but not to sure on that. what year is your truck? the connection flange from th 07-08s are different from the 09 to current so as long as you order for your specific year you will be alright... Im actually looking for a factory 6.2 exhaust would you want to sell yours?

I ordered a spintech muffler, and will be installing it in place of the factory muffler soon. i heard some clips online and it sounds very nice.

I've had a Spintech 9553 in my cart for a few days now. I'm just worried it's going to be too loud on the 6.2L for everyday driving.

I agree. As far as factory pickup exhausts go, this is about as good as I've heard.

Yep. I'm a big aftermarket exhaust guy. I've had cat-back exhausts (and long-tube headers, etc.) on several vehicles I've owned. Corsa, Magnaflow, heck even GReddy on my former Honda Prelude. :driving: I was tempted to put a Corsa on the Yukon Denali, but the stock exhaust has a very, very nice tone at light throttle and low rpm accelerating away from a light or idling (especially after a cold start), but then it's quiet at cruise on the highway with zero drone. So, I'm not messing it with personally. GM did this factory exhaust right.

 

Only other GM exhaust I haven't felt to compelled to swap to aftermarket is my ZR1. It's quiet at light throttle and below 3rpm, but nail it above 3k and it just sound perfect and bada**.

Yep...kudo to GM for making such a sweet sound :driving:

 

But I couldn´t resist and threw a Flowmaster 50 on my truck..originally I wanted to take the Super 44 but I was told it would be to loud in the long term...now I´m so happy with my choice....

I had a Super 40 dumped out under the bed in my 03 and it was awesome for like a month- then I took my first long road trip and I hated the exhaust after that. :driving: About the only thing it was good for after that was setting off car alarms when I started it up. :)

Oh and have you looked at Corsa? they make some really nice exhaust systems def worth the money and sound great with no drone.

 

+1 :driving: CORSA is the only system I will run,I have had their systems on my last 3 trucks and will be ordering one for my Camaro SS as well :)

I've got Dynatech Longtube headers, high flow cats and a Corsa Touring exhaust. With the Corsa exhaust + headers, the interior of the truck is quieter than with the stock exhaust!!

 

It's great for cruising on the highway and it has a really, really nice growl when you get on the gas. From the exterior, it sounds absolutely nasty!

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
