Cut mine out from the muffler back, added a flowsound muffler and came out the side of the body in front of the wheel with a 4" double walled tip.

 

Here is what the final product looks like. She now sounds like a truck

 

While this looks cool. With these motors being DI, your gonna have a lot of black soot all over the side of your fender and probably on your wheels and tires after not too long.

I'm expecting soot on the truck and wheels. The wheels are getting powder coated black so it won't really be noticeable. Besides the truck is gonna get dirty, scratched, muddy and who know what else I'm gonna put her through so I'm not afraid of a little soot on the fender.

Hey if you dont care, I dont care! It looks pretty damn cool though for sure.

Is there a specific thread anywhere for exhausts 6.2? I'd love to see more pics, sound clips, and reviews on it

They do some really nice work there.... I wish they could have done a couple of them with X-Pipes up as close to the engine as possible... Even though it is a single muffler system, it makes a big difference in the burble sound you get with a true dual system like they are building. Some like the burble, some don't. I have never been a fan of the LSx exhaust note.

They didn't install an "X" pipe because the Flo-Pro and Flowmaster mufflers they used were the crossflow design and the Magnaflow muffler was the True X. Read the text in these pics.

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.

Did you look at Borla, thru your GM dealer - GM accessory parts program.

I have been told for absolutely NO DRONE the Flo~Pro "big oval" muffler is the way to go. Has anyone used this muffler? Here is a video from Kinney's muffler shop on a 2012 GMC Denali Sierra. Wow, it's big.

I was told that the magnaflow 15269 will fit the 6'6" bed from Custom Truck, they have stock as well. I went custom made, it was 1/2 the price using the same muffler. Installed by ABC Muffler in Edmonton for $551 tax inc.

Just got this in from UPS. Borla ATAK 140537 dual rear exit. Will update once I get this puppy installed.

Wow.....That muffler is suppose to have a very aggressive sound. Update us when you get it installed.

So I just returned from my test drive with my new Borla exhaust and I am very pleased. The ATAK muffler is the most aggressive sounding exhaust they have and it was worth every penny. This exhaust has a nice deep rumble, during cruising speeds and in V4 mode the radio volume has to be turned down to actually hear the exhaust in the cab (no drone at all). Now when you get your foot in her it becomes a whole different animal, it basically screams get out of my way. All in all I'm extremely happy with the system, from fit and finish to sound it is just what I needed on my truck to make it sound like a truck. If we have decent weather this weekend I might try to use my Go Pro and get some driving video for everyone.

Very nice. Would be cool to see a video. Does the ATAK system have the flapper valve built in? I've heard that Borla was putting flapper valves on some of their systems.

Anthony, no the system does not have a flapper valve installed. I bought the exhaust and it was shipped directly from Borla this is not a GM Borla system which is what some people have said have the flapper valve installed but I don't know for sure. Actually I'm messing with the Go Pro right now just trying to locate my suction cup mount to attempt to get some video.

 

Edit: Here is a quick video of start up with the exhaust, I was just messing with my camera settings and checking out audio quality. Will get some actual driving video this weekend.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • 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.      
    • 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?
