fondupot Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 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?

JRoss14 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 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.
fondupot Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 range module is already out. 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.
svtkidd23 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 range module is already out. On their website says its only available for up to 2013 GM trucks. Nope shes out.. Few threads on here about it.. Diablo has a tune also
silverado78 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 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!!!
CorvetteOJ Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 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.

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?
mzodarg Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Can you post pictures of this setup? I'd also be interesting in seeing what was done. Mike
clayp Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 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

I'm looking for CAT back also. Mike
clayp Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 well I went ahead and installed a Flowmaster Force II system. The helicopter noise was just too annoying
