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

All y'all demand to much lol. Just take the risk ppl! You will not be disappointed. I think Snap On says it best.. Nothing even comes close.

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

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
