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.

Waste of Money! Cut it off behind the cats and run custom pipe to a super 44 dual outlet and dump it in front of the rear tires... 300$

My 2 cents about Borla is theyr are too expensive, my neighbor swears by them but he has tastes that are too expensive for his wallet.

 

I can't say much at all that you wouldn't learn from a video on the internet about most exhausts. BUT I can speak for the Magnaflow 18" muffler cat back dual out the rear system.

 

I got the Magnaflow 18" muffler on mine. I love it. Nice deep rumble at start up. Other users have complained of drone but I can honestly say I haven't noticed any. You can however notice a small difference in the rumble tone when the truck switches from V8 to V4 but IMO, I like the sound change. Driving around town earlier I noticed it almost sounds like an old hotrod in a way. Not saying it sounds just like one. But the change in sound isn't bad IMO. If I were to do it over again, would I get the same system? Yes! Never had an exhaust on my vehicles before, but it'll be my first mod from now on haha. I think it gives these, as some of my friends have said, 'mean a$$ looking trucks a bad a$$ sound'. Also I haven't tuned mine. And I won't. I drive on the highway a lot. I got this truck for a few reasons: it looks awesome, I'm a GM guy, these trucks stay classy while still being a work truck, and I wanted to keep my V8 but still keep my trips to the pump down.

 

IMO, I don't think anyone could be disappointed by the Magnaflow system. It's not irritate your neighbors loud, but it's also not stock quiet.

Corsa is what I swear by. They have a unique, proprietary muffler design that allows for a very, very aggressive exhaust sound without any drone. The muffler is more of a straight pipe with expansion/dampening chambers cut into the OD. It allows them to specifically tune out the frequencies that result in drone, while preserving a loud, aggressive sound if thats what you like.

 

I'm currently running the worst case scenario with my 2010 Silverado; Corsa Sport with American Racing Long Tube headers, and while the truck is offensively loud from the outside, it's absolutely quiet when cruising on the highway.

 

The Corsa systems also have fantastic quality. I've installed them myself on my last 3 silverados, my Z06 and previously my Cherokee SRT8 and have always been very impressed with the construction and materials.

In my 07 Vmax, I am running a similar set up (Tri Y headers and Touring), but I have the Touring and I am very thankful for that. What is awesome about the Corsa touring is it still is pretty quiet while under light throttle and it sounds wicked under heavy throttle, especially now that I have the Maggie installed. Corsa is just worth the price, IMHO.

This is what the Corsa Sport sounds like with the headers, haha, I love it. Surprisingly, that thing is absolutely quiet when on the highway. It definitely has a nice roar when you get on the gas, but no drone, even in V4 mode. I'd take some interior videos, but I put the truck away from the winter as the regular cab is my project vehicle and I don't want to deal with road salt, rock chips, etc.

 

When I upgrade my 2009 to a 2014/2015 Sierra, I definitely plan on doing the same Corsa Sport + Headers combination.

Oh GAWD.... that's why everybody has drone because we all use 40 series flowmasters. How can you deny this sound- 50 series Delta Flow's. Here is my impala, 3" duals dumped just behind rear tires, long tube headers, no cats, 0 Drone and the car runs a 10.90's on a good day weighing in at 4400 lbs. The video is bad, but you can hear it. Enjoy!

Oh yeah... it has made 2 full HotRod Power Tours also.

I was going to get a Corsa System but I think I'm going to save that money until I figure out how I'm going to build the truck. For now, I'm going to go get a flow master muffler with custom tail pipe. I will give feedback when I do. I should have it on by this weekend.

 

I know that Flowmaster gets a bad name because of drone, but that's because everybody puts 40 series mufflers on. If you watch the video of my 96 Impala below, I think you will see why I'm partial. These are 50 series Delta Flows, 3" from headers to tailpipe with an X-Pipe just after the headers. 0-Drone... I mean NONE-NADA! The car is no slouch... Listen & Enjoy

P.S. - Don't hate on my Helmet, I raced Motocross all my life and that's how I roll, LOL

You'll still have drone with the 50 Delta. It's still a chambered muffler. It may not be as bad as a 40 but it will still have some. The only mufflers with zero drone are straight thru designs.

I can see the v4 exaggerating the drone in a flowmaster but my car has none... It must be the Flowmaster Unicorn

I'm referring when the truck goes into v4 mode, you'll have some drone. Your car is a different story man.

Ok, I'm smelling what you are stepping in now. I got a good friend here that has an exhaust shop so it won't be to awful expensive to try it out and I got V4 off in town but I'll see how bad it is on highway.

Drone occurs when the engine drops down to 4 cyl from 8. I could be wrong but your impala doesn;t do that, does it? I've been in a truck with bad drone before...it's extremely annoying, and hurts your ears...you "feel" the vibrations in your ear canals, neck, etc. It's enough to make me sick...and I've read about others who have turned around, went back to the shop and had the whole system ripped out because of it. I can deal with obnoxiously loud exhaust...but drone, no way! Anyway, just my opinion on that.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
