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

Just installed the aFe catback on my truck.. the install was very simple and the quality is great! Only thing I don't like is the "diesel" exhaust tip that comes with the system. The catback is 3" stainless and then where the tip clamps on it buldges to 3.5" and the tip outlet is 4.5" (as seen in pics). Why are these companies making these so big? Looks like it belongs on a honda. I removed the tip before I even tightened down the clamp and will be selling it ASAP. Looking for a little less dramatic tip .. otherwise the system is great and exactly the sound I was looking for without spending 2.5x as much...

I ordered Borla Touring part # 140544. Just looking for a step above stock, not too loud. Just a deeper tone, these new trucks have almost no sound, GM was very successful at making them quiet.

Update:

This exhaust has a great sound, nice deep rumble, not too loud, however it has V4 drone along with the flutter/helicopter sound. Tune V4 out or Use the Range V8 and this is a great exhaust system. Looks real nice also, dual out the back behind each tire with polished tips. I sent it back to Borla because I want to be able to use V4 mode on long trips or whenever. I think they wanted it to run some tests on it anyway.

If you buy the GM version, it comes with the adaptive valve for V4 mode but you can't get it with dual out the back behind each tire. You have to get dual out one side or dual straight out the back.

One more thing which I found a little odd, the muffler doesn't have a drain hole so water accumulates in it. I guess you could drill a hole.

Oh, one more thing, I tried to get them to just send me the front pipe assembly from the GM version which has the adaptive valve in the pipe and they wouldn't do it. I guess GM owns the rights to that valve or something so you can't even buy the GM version of the exhaust from Borla, you have to buy it from an authorized GM dealer.

This is a statement I received from Corsa Performance related to their exhaust system for the 2014 Silverado:

 

We appreciate your interest. We have spent many hours of research and development on the new GM truck systems. We eliminated the mechanical valve after the muffler. This is how we achieve an increase in flow. At times you may notice a "flutter" type sound effect from your vehicle in V4 mode, after installing our performance exhaust. I would not call it drone. We designed our Corsa system to disguise this sound as best as possible. We do this better than any other manufacturer. But the V4 sound will always be a characteristic of your vehicle unless you have it turned off with an aftermarket "tune." But again, I would not call it drone.

I love the way the exhaust tip looks. Its fitting with how exhaust systems look these days. At least its the single side, not the dual straight out the rear like the old days! What do you think of the sound now that it has broken in a bit? I LOVE mine! I've had Borla, Flowmaster, Corsa, Bassani, Magnaflow and Stainless Works catbacks on many vehicles in the past and this for sure is a contender!

Haha... yeah I remember back in the 70's & 80's when "duals out the back" were the latest craze! Funny thing is, a friend of mine just had his F-150 done that way! (I think it's age-related :lol: )... (Although I'm in my 60's and I'm not a fan of that look on a TRUCK! )

Duals been around since the flat heads, ever look at the back of your Vette? I bet there are 4 sticking out back on that. Twice pipes are more common now than ever, which is fine by me.

I agree, they've been around for ever. On certain cars like my Camaros they have a positive function. Zero 90 degree angles or Y-pipe and a true straight to back design further scavenged by the use of an H-pipe or X-Pipe. The problem I have with duals on trucks is that they come off of the manifolds over to a y pipe then down one side then hard 90's multiple times. Efficiency relies upon the reduction of bends and the efficiency of exhaust scavenging.

Not really, one 3or31/2 inch is enough, so the other pipe is for the pleasure of the owner. Enough flow has already been reach. When I need more flow I just run them down one side.

So how much does it cost to get V4 tuned out? Should I just buy a tuner and do it myself with a custom tune? Pros and cons on doing this would be greatly appreciated. Obviously a pro is eliminating any V4 drone, but what else is gained/lost by tuning it out?

By tuning it out you could lower your MPG possibly. Also if the dealer sees that your truck was tuned then they can void your warranty. Sucks that they can finally tell when these trucks get tuned. I was gonna get mine done until I read that they figured out how to tell.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
