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

I'm looking for a 2.75 muffler for my 5.3... Does anyone know who makes these? I looked on flow master and magnaflows website but they don't have any. I would rather weld one in instead of buying a whole system. And also, is there any specific offset or just straight in and straight out?

A muffler shop will be able to fit the muffler for you, a 3 inch won't be hard at all for them to fit. I accidentally bought a 3.5 inch and they made it fit. Mine is a straight in-straight out muffler.

Did you have them do any deletes? like the resonator or anything? Im assuming you would want to change mufflers but also delete the huge resonator/cat that is closest to the tail pipe end.

My bank account, and likely the bank account of some others, don't like you anymore

Tune is inevitable for me as well as corsa exhaust. The toss up comes with headers or CAI? Hell their within 200$ of each other.

 

I will likely go CAI. Headers would be awesome but too loud for daily driving. So to have that effect get a valve to switch from the exhaust to dumps. Idk how much that cost. But best of both worlds if you want to drive quietly and off road with it screaming.

With the right catback set up, headers can be extremely quiet. The headers + corsa on my crew cab is nearly as quiet as stock when daily driving. It was actually too quiet for me so I put an exhaust cutout in to wake it up abit.

$2,300 for catted y pipe and headers, then you have to have it tuned..... but man does it sound good

 

If you just want the noise, you can easily run headers without a tune. It will flip a CEL on a regular basis for cat efficiency, but some sort of scan tool can easily clear that.

Question...I want the performance advantage headers can provide but want the quietest setup for daily driving and towing on the weekends. Do you have the Corsa Touring? Any chance you have some sound clips?

 

Thinking outloud here since I really don't have any first hand experience with this...Could a guy just run Long tubes and catted Y pipe with the remaining exhaust stock? Am I killing any performance gain?

 

Like I said I want it pretty mellow until about 2500 RPMs since that is where it sits when I tow my trailer but after that loud is good.

I have the Corsa touring on my crew cab, but from the looks of it, they no longer offer it for the new trucks. I'll see if I can get a video this weekend. All of my current ones are with the cutout open so it's got a significant bark to it.

 

With my 2009, I did run the long tubes with the factory exhaust for awhile and I wasn't happy.. The factory muffler isn't designed for headers so it droned like crazy. The headers and the corsa touring was actually quieter in comparison.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
