Maybe Im lucky and found a good bender over 30 years ago, I cant see why a person would not just get the muffler changed at a muffler shop? There is nothing wrong with the factory pipes, just change the muffler. They are under 200 installed.

Some people want dual exhaust. I see your point if they are planning in coming out only one side.

Is this a fact??? Seriously are the pipes going to the muffler the same as the ones being offered in the system? If so then I'm just buying the muffler

Most of my exhaust have been duals, my bender leaves one side adds muffler and runs the dual side. In the last few years with the exhaust already big enough on a stock engine you can y after the cats run a dual in and out muffler or two mufflers with two tail pipes. Still lots cheaper than a complete mail order exhaust.

The point is they are not leaving HP or gas mileage on the table anymore by exhaust flow. That's way there are so many cats and muffler and resonator. Your just gaining sound.

I did muffler delete for a while, didn't sound bad. I wanted quieter so I added back a muffler to just a bit over stock. The muffler delete cost me 40$, its a good place to start. most younger people thought that was still too quiet, you could always remove the resonator too. If that doesn't do it for you then put your magaflow on or flowmaster. Edited by KARNUT

I don't care for premade systems. I just go to a local shop in town that's great with exhaust. That way it's cheaper and they can do exactly what you want. I just had them take everything from the muffler back and put in a single in/dual out Super 44 and it sounds awesome.

A shop that can do exhaust will be able to do whatever you want. I had a shop take everything from the muffler back out and had a single in/dual out Super 44. I also have the tailpipes coming out one on each side behind each tire at 45°. So to do that you don't need a premade system. The parts and install was cheaper than just a premade system by itself.

Was it stainless steel pipe?

Not really sure, but I have black chrome tips and the muffler is also black. They only charged a little over $300 for everything and all joints are welded instead of just clamps.

Dual exhaust = 1980's

I said something like that in a post a few months ago and got SLAMMED by someone asking me if my Corvette had duals! :lol: Always something... :D Everyone has a right to their opinion. :thumbs:

For me dual exhaust and how I want it setup is from my OCD lol. Having just the one tailpipe was killing my OCD. I got to have 2 tailpipes and one on each side no matter if it's straight back or what. My old 98 actually came with true duals from the front to the back with just 1 muffler dual in/dual out.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
