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

I have read a bit about the "drone" or Helicopter sounds when switching from V8-V4. Is this something that cannot be overlooked or ignored? Is the sound too much to bear?

I am looking into Gibson, Flowmaster, Corsa and MagnaFlow, anyone have any definite pros or cons?

I have the Gibson exhaust, and while I can hear it when it switches back and forth, it's no big deal to me. It's noticeable, but not obnoxious. Edited by Fasthotrod

Not at all too much to bear with the 18" magnaflow. I am very OCD and have a 2 hour road trip most weekends. The noise is not bad or unbareable at all. Talking between passengers can still be carried on like normal without needing to speak louder than normal or anything.

 

I've had the kit on for 4200 miles now and here's what I've found:

 

Pros:

- Sounds great on start up

- Idle isn't too loud or too quiet

- Louder than stock all around but not overbearing at any time.

- like a fine wine it's getting better with age

- when you rev it next to a Prius they can hear you hurt the environment [emoji23][emoji23] just thought i would throw that in there haha.

 

Cons:

- honestly, none found.

I have to agree... I have the 22" Magnaflow with Rez and Flapper delete and at first I couldn't really hear that much of a difference from the stock muffler. But it keeps getting better as I drive more miles!

 

:D

That sounds about perfect. I don't want "loud" I just want to hear it when I want to hear it. I don't want to hear much if any difference cruising down the highway during my daily commute but want to hear it accelerating and just general horsing around.

 

If you see an Iridium Metallic Denali chasing you through Lees Summit it's just me trying to hear your truck. HAHA (I live right by Unity Village)

Haha... I'll be lookin' for ya! I am liking the exhaust sound more every day. I was considering the 14" Magnaflow. Glad I didn't.

Think I am going with either the Corsa 14866 (kinda like the black tips with the iridium metallic color? agree?) or the Borla 140577 ATAK. Has anyone actually heard the ATAK over the S-Type? Is the ATAK going to be as loud as lets say the flowmaster american thunder. If so I dont think I am going to go that redneck since it is a Denali. Ive read all the thread here, but not so much info with the 6.2L atak system or even the s-type. Thanks!

Kinda agreed, havent seen one for the new one unless someone has a link for the new 6.2L online.

 

Also what is an average price for install at a muffler shop for a catback system these days for a full size? I havent installed one since my Mustang back in 99 so I can't remember and two totally different vehicles obviously.

After having the 14" magnaflow with rev and flapper removed and having 3" stainless steel pipe to the red tail tip. It's only been 1 week and I'm very happy with sounds awesome when giving it gas, and start ups OMFG :) While cruising on the highway @69 U don't even kno it's there... In all I love it. Going on a little 140 mile beach trip with the wifey and are 10 month old this weekend. So I'll see what the boss says ... But it's not coming off my truck :)

Are you close to Edmonton? ABC Muffler & Hitch. They did a custom cat back on my truck and they are great!

I'm in Calgary and I've never had any issues getting a Corsa exhaust, or any other car parts. Summit racing easily ships here, but it would be worth giving the guys at Davenport Motorsports in Calgary a shout as they could probably have it shipped directly to you.

Just installed Corsa Sport on my 5.3 last night. Sounds great when you get it in. Not annoying when cruising.

 

Here is the comparison video. Check it out

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
