Last update. I went looking for the band clamps that Borla recommended for the install and didn't find any. A local muffler shop said he weld it on for $35. I said, "Ok, let's do it". Once the truck was up on the lift, I saw the most important part that I kept forgetting. The inlet and outlet are offset! So, it cost me a few more dollars for the shop to bend pipe and make the muffler fit. I guess this isn't a DIY in the driveway job unless you have the pre bent pipe sized and ready to be clamped up.

 

 

Installed my brothers yesterday. Took about 30min. Was not offset at all, everything lined up fine.

For those of you interested in hearing the difference between the touring & the sport versions, here is a video directly from Borla marketing showcasing both on a 2012 Gm truck!

You need to order these by the part number. Calling them about this won't get much. The guy I spoke to really had no information for me since these were GMPP parts and not actual Borla named product. When I gave him the part number, he looked it up on the website and stated that what's listed is all he knows.

I was saying the guy told me they have no videos/sound clips of even the catback units.

 

I was hoping that there were clips or vids somewhere that I couldn't find on their site.

I currently have the GMPP Touring cat back and just ordered the "sport" muffler from Borla....$88.57 shippped....Now I can switch it up if i want it aggressive or subtle....Glad I found this thread, I would have never know about the clearance sale at Borla with out it. Thanks guys!

 

 

Update....I finally had a few minutes today to swap out my touring muffler for the sport muffer. The sound in just slightly more aggressive at idle and when you you get on the throttle, but cruising on the highway you can barely hear it. I also have my AFM turned off so there is no 4 cylinder mode. Now that I have heard and driven my truck with both styles of mufflers, I honestly can say that they both sound good and you can't go wrong one way or the other.

I ordered mine on Wednesday night and it arrived on Friday morning. I was disappointed in the packaging as the box was the same size as the muffler and the muffler came with a few dents. That's not a big deal to me since it goes under the truck and isn't seen, but offering a polished product that arrives with scuffs and dents, is slightly disappointing. I got over my disappointment quickly after I heard the muffler on my truck, though!

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      frustrating P0446 code

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
