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

found pictures of 2012 installed and answered my questions , Magnaflow muffler smaller than huge OE muffler and used different hanger and another mounting location

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

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.

Go online and type Black chrome exhaust tips and several suppliers are listed Summit Racing ,Carid and others. Maybe a Silverline tip

Has anyone tried a 14" magnaflow while leaving the flapper valve and resonator in place?

Yes. Sounds like the truck was farting. Then went with 14 inch with duel turndowns before the rear end. That sound was MEAN in V8. V4 sounds like you are trying to outrun a Blackhawk helicopter. Would not recommend unless you only use manual mode or have V4 tuned out. TRUST ME lol.

Straight thru. You will loose some back pressure and some low end Tq. BUT... around 3 or 4,000 RPM sounds and runs great.

 

GM did a buyback on the Red truck so the dealership didn't even look at it when I went in to pick up the Ruby truck. After I pulled out my good floor mats and put them in the Ruby truck to leave I made it a point to hang around for a min to watch the salesman pull the Red truck around back. He almost si#t his pants and immediately shut the truck back off thinking something was wrong. :crackup:

So I'm guessing 18" magnaflow is the way to go. I would like to keep the flapper valve and resonator at first.

I wouldn't know. Sounds logical. Im thinking about trying a Flowmaster with the flapper and delete the resonator. IDK? DAMMMM V4!!!! lol. I still have a complete brand new exhaust system off the red truck. I can cut the flapper off it and run a Flowmaster 40 single in duel flappers out with turndowns. lol . HEY!.. That might just work. GENIOUS!

No. SouthernSilveradoGuy85 likes it too. I love drone. I once said embrace the drone. But it is pulsing, shaking , chopper that I don't like. What do you think about the double flapper idea?

I might just give it a try when it warms up a little.LOL Maybe put some external mini big rig style flaps. Like on the sportsman dragster headers. Nice and Redneck.

Ah, yes, I remember that post... "Embrace the DRONE!" :lol: I believe I quoted you on that a few times!

 

Yeah, I like the double flapper idea. Be sure to file a quick patent application. That way, when GM decides it's a good idea for all trucks, you'll be sure to get your cut! :cheers:

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      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.
