Got mine gm borla on today very happy with sound and fitment

 

had muffler shop tack weld each section in addition to the clamps

Nice, did you order it thru a dealership? I get these 15% off GM accessories coupons in the mail all the time. That would be a perfect excuse to buy a GM Borla kit.

Edit: I had the Borla kit and it had the helicopter sound way too much in V4 so I sent it back. Unfortunately the Borla kit doesn't have the valve.

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

Can you shoot some more photos at differing angles so we can see what it looks like from the rear and 3/4 views?

Thanks for the picks! Looks good. Definitely like the checkerboard floor. I'd like to know what it sounds like with some miles on it.

Yes, I did say torque. Some manufactures claim that you will gain HP and TQ.

For example: This is what corsa says about their exhaust for the 2014 Tundra

Tips: Single Side Exit Twin 4.0" Polished Pro-Series
Sound: Sport (CLICK TO LEARN MORE)
Flow: Average of 16% gain over stock
Power Gains: Average increase of up to 3 HP and 9 TQ
Technology: CORSA's Patented RSC® Technology is designed for an AGGRESSIVE SOUND under acceleration and a DRONE-FREE EXPERIENCE during cruise. Every system is engineered specifically to each vehicle without drone while cruising.
I'm not saying I agree but Magnaflow claims TQ gains on the 2014 Silverado with this exhaust

 

CHEVROLET TRUCK SILVERADO 1500 Stainless Cat-Back System PERFORMANCE EXHAUST

Model # 17148

Material: 100% Stainless Steel

Tubing O.D. Size: 3in.

System Type: Cat-Back

TIP O.D. Size:

TIP Quantity:

Single/Dual: Single

Exit Position: TURN DOWN IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE

 

Features and Benefits: Lifetime Warranty, Dyno Tested And Proven To Make Power, Performance Gains In Horsepower And Torque, Great Sound -Has A Smooth; Deep Tone, Easy To Install, Mandrel-Bent. All Welded. Built To Last.

Thanks for the info. I have read through this quite a bit. I was just saying that if I really wanted more HP or TQ I would go another route, TQ converters maybe a sc'er but every little bit counts like you said. New technology comes out everyday. With the time some of these companies have had to do some R&D with these new trucks, I'm sure at some point in the near future they will be ready to release some production models. There has to be some more options, especially with this engine.

I did a custom 3" single exit, and used a Magna Flow muffler. We dumped it just over the axle. It sounds great in my opinion, and is not loud. Here is a video of it while driving:

 

 

Off with the Resonator

Off with the muffler

Off with the third cat

How about some 3" pipe...yes please

3" Magna Flow muffler

Can barely see it from the side

3" pipe over the axle and dumped

Looking pretty good, needs to be painted black though

what are you guys paying for your exhaust? particularly the GM Borla i like the idea of the flapper valve for V4 mode

Regular price is $1249 but if you can get a 15% off ($187.35) GM accessories coupon from your dealership, you can get it for 1061.65. I don't think you will find it any cheaper

What about taking a 5.3 putting a borla muffler on and running 3 inch all the way back? Think it would drone? Or just going with a borla muffler and leaving everything else stock.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
