i have a db muffler that I took off of my 2009 HD that I was thinking of having a muffler shop take off my factory exhaust and put this muffler on and run new pipe or pipes out the side or both sides. what do you guys think? Will the muffler for my 6.0L work for my 6.2L? (Will it drone?) I am providing a picture with my leveling kit and 295/55/20 Nitto's cause I havent yet haha. Tell me what you think?post-70843-0-04911500-1395594906_thumb.jpg

When I talked to Corsa they insisted that their "whole system" is tuned and if the muffler placement or bends are different the sound will be different than intended

I can't seem to find any cat backs for 2014 crew cab standard bed, it's the 6'6" box. I would prefer tips coming out behind rear wheels. Anybody know if the 15269 Magnaflow will work on my truck? I found one made by Gibson but I'm in Canada and can't buy from them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, didn't want to waste the time and money if it wasn't going to work. I am just tired of waiting for Borla or corsa to come out with the exhaust for the 6.2L. I don't understand why GM put such a wimpy sounding exhaust on a 420 hp beast, but thats my opinion.......

It may work. Dut you just should look at theirs systesm and put the muffer in the right spot

After driving my truck all weekend with the new exhaust I've learned that with the Volant CAI and Magnaflow it rarely goes into V4 which I'm fine with. But when it does the drone can get loud. Nothing obnoxious but it's noticeably different from stock.

Can anyone definitively say whether cutting out the 3rd cat will void the warranty? Are the gains in flow enough to justify the "risk" of taking it out?

 

Still trying to decide between the Magnaflow 18 or the FlowMaster 70 series.

I think chopping up the exhaust and removing cats will def void certain aspects of your warranty. For example : if your engine had a mechanical breakdown, blown head, or something along those lines they could probably say it was do to you removing the cat/ or modifications to the stock exhaust. If your brakes went out they probably couldn't blame it on you modifying your exhaust. Its a gamble as far as warranty goes, and how much your dealer wants to be a thorn in your arse.

Putting exhaust on your truck will not void any part of your warranty except the parts you take off. If you take your truck to a dealer and they try and say exhaust caused it take it somewhere else..

So putting on a super charger will not void any part of your warranty???

Not really. Its an aftermarket part. Your dealer has every right to refuse work on your vehicle if they can prove in writing that the modification you made was the direct cause of your warranty claim.

 

if you choose to modify your car, and If it turns out that your modifications are the cause of the problem, the dealer has every right not only to charge you for the diagnosis and repair, but to also void the portion of the warranty that has been compromised by the use of those aftermarket parts. Likewise, a dealer may refuse to service your car if it is adorned with aftermarket parts to the extent that its technicians cannot reasonably be expected to diagnose what is wrong with your car.

 

I'm not trying to scare anyone away from getting an exhaust. I'm putting on Corsa soon. What I am telling you is that dealerships can, if need be, void certain aspects of your warranty, if they can prove that the direct cause of your warranty claim is the sole responsibility of your modification.

I understand what you're saying but like I said, putting exhaust on your car will not cause anything major to go wrong. You're not going to blow a head gasket, spin a rod, or blow a trans by putting exhaust on. That is what I am trying to say.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
