Is the V4 sound obtrusive with the windows up?

 

I have the same system on order and should have it in the next week or so and that is my only concern is how it sounds in V4. Thanks.

You can hear it with the windows up. But I wouldn't say it's obtrusive. It might be if you are riding in silence. But I usually have the radio on so I don't really notice.

Thanks. I guess if it bothers me to much I can hit up BlackBear and get a tune and just be done with V4 anyway.....at least that's how I will justify it.

Perfectly rational and normal explanation to spend $599. :happysad:

 

Speaking of Blackbear, I just got my tune files from Justin today, I will be installing them this evening. :smoker:

NICE!

 

Hope to see a report in the engine and transmission tuning thread.

If you want some sound from your truck just put on a Airaid Synthamax. Truck went from quiet to quite the growl. I was surprised at how much louder it is with a different air intake. Only con I would say is when you are towing it can be pretty loud in the truck when it is at 4000 rpm going up a hill.

Just had a new exhaust put on yesterday.

 

Had it straight piped behind the 2nd Cat.. Sounds Awesome! I will be doing some Mileage testing this weekend.

 

 

Next is Cold Air Intake and Tune ( Not Sure Who's Yet)

 

 

I will upload a video!

im looking for a cheap exhaust solution to have a deep sound but not too loud. does anybody know what the warranty requirements are in adding an aftermarket exhaust without voiding the warranty?

I think this has been discussed before. If I remember correctly any modification that you do has to be directly found at fault to any warranty problems that occur. With that being said from the cat back, as long as your not removing sensors I can't think why this would be an issue. I put a Flowmaster Super on my 13 Silverado and nothing was said. It was a direct cut out of original and weld in of the Flowmaster.

Traded in the truck and not thinking of aftermarket muffler for my 14 Silverado.

Don't get me wrong, I like to hear my engine too. But when you here it and the AFM kicks in you think you hear an elephant farting. LOL... It sounds sick.

 

You can do a work around with the Range AFM device or should I say a lockout of the AFM in the truck... it keeps the truck in V8 mode 100% of the time. Sounds better IMHO..

I have a Magnaflow 14 in. single in duel out. V4 sounds like , feels like HELL! But drive in M5 and throw the coals to it and it sounds MEAN. Gotten a lot of looks and thumbs up. Oh, Did I mention I also have turndowns before the rear axle. Turns the entire bed into a resonator. This is also a fix for the "SNAP, CRACKEL, POP" problem.

Ls engines like to breath. My 10 camaro ss woke up with longtube headers/high flow cats. I left original exhaust on except for a axle back. I think the dollars spent on a catback would be better spent on headers. I also added a vara ram cai.

I also wanted better sound without it being too loud, so I just pulled some copper wire out of a piece of Romex and used it to hold open the flapper adaptive valve behind the stock muffler. Now it sounds nice and deep at startup and low RPM's when V4 is on. Maybe it's because the exhaust is still stock, but I notice zero annoying helicopter sound when V4 AFM kicks in and have had it cruising at speeds up to 80 mph. Oh yeah and it was free with no warranty concerns. Still may do an aftermarket exhaust later but for now am very happy.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
