video of my borla ATAK

 

 

 

Do the 6.2 s not go into V4 mode? I don't recall seeing it in the video. TUNE?. Sounds good .

My main concern is drone. I haven't seen any videos or reviews with a 10 series installed though. I think the 70 would be a little too tame for my taste though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

Did you end up doing this? Does anyone have any clips of a 2014 with the 10 series?

No, I haven't. Been pretty busy with work, over 12k miles so far, since February.

Just saw your old post, if a 10 may be too loud and a 70 too tame, just do an exhaust cut out or what I call a real dual exhaust system, put in a cutout after the headers join together and have 2 mufflers, both leading to the same exit points, but have one that gives off a much more tame sound and the other a not so tame sound. I plan to do this eventually on my 14' I think it would be much smarter to do that. Just incase you ever don't want to catch a cop on a bad day or completely PO all the neighbors, you can have the tame exhaust sound, or when you want to just hear the engine roaring, you can have that too.

I just installed the Magnaflow 15318 and it sounds really deep and kind of mellow quieter than I thought it would be with that 4" pipe. Headers go on this weekend

Good thing to be busy with...

 

I haven't been able to find any clips of the 14' 5.3L w/ the 10 series but I went ahead and ordered the outlaw system. Should be here next week sometime, I'll post some clips after the install if anyone is interested.

Very true!

 

That would be much appreciated. Hope you like it.

I got the Gibson single swept side exhaust. It sounds good with a nice deep burble. Unfortunately the V4 drone is horrible. The pipes and muffler were heavy gauge stainless. Easily better than a Flowmaster setup. The clamps Gibson includes with the kit are garbage. I managed to snap one of the U-bolts with nothing more than a 1/2" ratchet. I ended up ordering a couple Walker lap joint band clamps and Permetex exhaust sealant. Exhaust note sounds much better with a proper seal.

Can you post some videos on yours?? Debating the single or dual side exhaust but I can't find any clips of both.

I'll work on getting a video up this week.

    • 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.
    • Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
