Do you only have the drone in V4 mode? Or does it carry over to V8 also?

V4 only. It sounds beast in V8. Especially when you're in the gas hard. The tone is leaps and bounds better than a flowmaster. Never had Corsa or Borla so cant comment on those.

 

The magnaflow sounds killer on startup too.

How bad is the dropoff in fuel mileage with AFM delete?

Haha... I don't know... maybe it's because that B&B Fusion exhaust on my Vette is so dang loud; it's like being in a war zone! It makes the truck sound like a quiet breeze by comparison! :lol:

 

I have the 22" Magnaflow with valve and rez delete. At first I thought it was too quiet, but it's getting a little louder with some miles and I'm liking it more every day.

I have the 18" Magnaflow 12288 and am going to change to the 22" 12588 next week. Too much drone and the 18" is just too loud for me. I'm hoping it will make it a fare bit more quiet but not too sure if just going with a larger muffler will do it. I might be better off putting in two resonators? Don't know. Any suggestions would help at this point.

OK, here's my 22" Magnaflow with Flapper & Rez delete. Headphones for most accurate sound.

Do you have dual out one side? I wonder if it would sound any different coming out behind each wheel? Maybe less loud?

Good sound to go with the looks. Nice truck Luster. Tomorrow I am having the muffler shop move my exhaust to rear of tire in factory location but he is gonna have the tips flush with underbody tucked up tight and contour to the curve of the lower quarter panel. I will post pics tomorrow afternoon.

It's actually just a single exit behind the passenger rear wheel, but the tip is split into two 4" outlets... I really don't know how the sound quality would be for duals vs. single.

My exhaust shop ordered it for me, from redtailperformance.com.

So the 14" magnaflow is plenty loud with the 3rd converter left intact, so gonna keep it like that. However, not fully sold on the location of the tips. Opinions? Leave it where it is or move it to exit behind rear tire in stock locstion?

sweet lol I may decide to do that for now. I really want exhaust again but I don't want it all hacked up. I've always loved that exhaust tip though

The 5.3L doesn't have a 3" inlet, does it?

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
