Saving this post so I can watch/listen later. How does it sound when it goes into V4 mode tho?

 

I remember I had put magnaflow on my dads 07 suburban with AFM. and it sounded terrible when it went into V4 mode. Eventually tuned it out.

 

Will most of you guys be tuning? or adding a range AFM delete modual when it comes available?

range module is already out.

I had this mod done about two weeks ago, I couldn't stand it from the moment I left the muffler shop. I had the factory muffler re-installed this morning by a different, more reputable shop and left the dual 4" stainless double wall tips on. I'll probably end up going back to a single tip, I think two looks like too much. I was tempted to try a magnaflow in place of the factory muffler with all the stock piping (valve & resonator) left in place but I really think that it would still sound weird in V4. I never planned on disabling the AFM, but then again I'd rather have better fuel economy than a good sounding pickup, because having both is apparently out of the question.

On their website says its only available for up to 2013 GM trucks. Not sure if any programming changed significantly to the point where the 2013 module would work on a 2014 truck.

Nope shes out.. Few threads on here about it..

Diablo has a tune also

I removed muffler, adaptive valve, and resonator. Currently straight pipes from 3rd cat out. Sounds like a 1965 pulp wood truck! I'm beating my head against the wall between which muffler: flowmaster-which series for gods sake???, mbrp, borla, corsa, the list goes on and on! I want it fairly loud and to raise hp. Is it ok to gut the 3rd cat? I already have a custom tune and a brother in law that owns a muffler shop(poor guy just has bad taste) Please help!!!

I removed the factory muffler, the valve, and the resonator. Basically, my muffler shop just cut the factory pipe between the last converter and the muffler and removed it all. We then installed a 22" magnaflow, single in, dual outlet with custom made pipes coming straight out the back. The last 22" are 4" diameter chrome. There are absolutely no problems, except, it is not quite as loud as I had hoped. It does sound pretty good when you get your foot in it. At idle it has a very mild rumble to it. It works for me.

you can gut the cat very easy or just remove it there is no 02 behind it i think dont quote me on that.

 

But no real gain will be made in a stock vehicle from muffler.

Mandrel bend tubing and long tube headers with a x pipe would make a gain

Can you post pictures of this setup?

I'd also be interesting in seeing what was done.

I'm starting to notice the helicopter sound more and more. I don't like it at all so I guess next step is aftermarket cat back and a tune to kill the AFM

In my case, it's happening more and more also. Escpecially as the weather gets colder.

 

I'm looking for CAT back also.

well I went ahead and installed a Flowmaster Force II system. The helicopter noise was just too annoying

How does it sound when it goes into V4 now?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
