Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

I haven't tried it personally but I do hear that ppl are experiencing some drone on the highway. There's a thread on it somewhere on the forum.

 

Cry-- when it warms up some I plan to do another video. Way to cold out to mess with it now lol. I'm sure by then a few other members will have one installed.

Hmmm, that Corsa setup does sound good...but I'll need a high speed drive by sound clip, a zero to 60 sound clip, and cab clips with the windows down, and up. haha

So....I think I like this one. Dual exits out the rear. Anyone know if this system eliminated the flapper valve that comes on our trucks? Does it have it's own? If you look at the parts list there's a short pipe with a small box built into it...maybe Corsa has a flappy valve too so they can promise no drone?

Its a cat back system. Gets rid of the flapper valve.

Do you think the single side outlet would be a bit quieter than the dual out the rear? I want some more volume but nothing crazy loud. I wish there was a place where you could go to hear these setups before doing it. Maybe a 2014 Gm meet?

 

After installing after market exhaust, is there any tuning needed or will the computer sort of adjust itself on everything?

No tuning needed, ECU will adjust accordingly. I'm sure there are gains that could be had by tuning but definitely not needed.

Looking for peoples opinions on which exhaust to go with? I want a louder exhaust and the price on these are roughly the same (50$ difference)...I want to be able to hear it start up and want to have a nice sound!!!

 

Option 1

 

Cat-back System 409S - Dual Rear or Side Exit - Force II

817666

FLOWMASTER FORCE II DUAL REAR EXIT – 409S STAINLESS STEEL

 

Option 2

 

MagnaFlow 3"/2.5" Cat-Back Exhaust (2014 Silverado & Sierra 1500 5.3L)

V8 5.3L; Crew Cab/Short Bed (69.3in Bed/78.7in Bed)
5 x 8 x 18in. Muffler: 3.0/2.5in. Tubing; 4.0in. Stainless Tips; DUAL SPLIT REAR EXIT

My brother in law can get me either of these at cost and we can install at his shop for free!!!

Thanks

PS I know I started an exhaust thread before, but now it's game time and want it on before the end of April

Cheers

Well, you mention not annoying. Have you hear a loud drone sound before? It can be very annoying I would go with a system that specifically defeats drone (unless you retain the original flapper valve). Borla and Corsa both claim to be drone free so perhaps start there.

Thanks for the response, however I would rather have some drone then pay another $800 for a system...I can live with loud. These are my only 2 options and I am just looking to see what peoples opinions on these 2 are...Which would they go with and why?

 

Thanks

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
