I have a question for members here who have modified their OEM exhaust, and installed duals...

 

Do the 2014 K1500 (GMC or Chevy) include factory frame bracket points on the left side for installing and hanging left side dual exhaust piping? I am considering the installation of dual exhaust but don't want to if I have to use aftermarket type universal hangers.

Simply put, it shouldn't be an issue. This is a shot of my driver's side. I did a Borla muffler, single in dual out. They constructed everything behind the muffler.

I don't mean to bring this video up again, but does anyone know what size those headers are? they have 1-3/4 and 1-7/8 what would the difference between the two sizes? I just love the sound of that setup.

So finally got my exhaust done. Went with an 18" Magnaflow Muffler, removed resonator, and valve. Sounds great and those Corsa tips are a beauty.

All work was done at Bill the Muffler King in Dallas, Tx. Fantastic worksmanship and quality. I'll post videos tomorrow once I wash it.

U have a model number for the muffler u used??

Does anyone that did a muffler replacement with stock tailpipe have a picture of the install? Wondering how they fit with stock piping.

In my particular setup since I was having them remove the resonator, and I wanted the tips to look a certain way, the guy ran a new 3" pipe from the muffler out.

Ok did he weld or clamp the muffler

 

I asked him to weld it. Its a $150 tip, I didn't want it to magically disappear one of these days.

Seen from the last pictures they used stock type hangers, when had duels installed on the 2012 he used universal type hangers with rubber strap. I really didn't like the unused bracket on side of the frame, maybe straps better about vibration don't know. Going to get more info before install on my new truck. All clean welds Magnafow muffler duel to rear with 18" chrome tips $389 on the 2012

Anyone have an idea of where I'd be able to get black chrome exhaust tips. The ones are the far left are what I'm after.

Wish I could help but I had a local shop do my exhaust and I love the black chrome tips on mine. First you should do is maybe call shops that do exhaust.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
