Ya I looked at the 305s also. I went with the extremes but in the 295 size.

I was under the impression that the extreme tread only came in 305+. It seems as if I'm mistaken. Any chance you'd want to post or PM me some pics of your truck with the tires?

 

EDIT: Probably PM if you can. Don't want to jack this thread.

I know I asked this once, but trying once more... can anyone comment on the sound level of the Corsa Sport vs, say a Flowmaster 40?

Just a 22" magnaflow, should be here Tuesday. Hopefully will have it on by Wednesday.

Hey guys. I am looking into a Flowmaster 40 single in/dual out and I am not understanding what everyone is really talking about with the "drone".
I had the previous body style Silverado with the same exhaust on it and yes, I could hear it at highway speed. But I loved it. Made it sound like a truck.

Does this new body style have some other kind of drone that the previous body style didn't have?

Kerrslight, I think the angle on the tip looks good. I'm thinking of getting the same muffler for my ride. 2015 Silverado 1500 5.3.

 

Wideopen the duals looks awesome too!

The drone is when the engine goes into V4 mode which is AFM (Active Fuel Management). It sounds like an 18 wheeler's exhaust brake/jake brake. So it sounds different while in V4 mode and that sound is the drone. It doesn't bother me but some hate it. The flapper valve behind the muffler in the stock system is what helps that.

Just installed the Dynomax VT catback. I'm very happy with the fit and finish. The sound is nice and throaty when you start it up and quiets just enough when it idles down. It sounds good when you get on it and is quiet at cruise. I can only barely detect the V4 mode and it's not unpleasant at all when it switches back and forth. :thumbs:

Thanks man. I actually ended up having the mufflers switched out today. 18" sounded great, but it turns out the 14" is what I was really after. Pretty much same result, but the 14 has a little bit more noise to it. Sounds great when your on the gas and almost non-existent while cruising.

I mean it doesn't turn into a rice burner sound when it hits v4 does it?!

hahaha

Maybe i'll just need to look for some video samples.

No it's not that thank God. I'm sure you've heard an exhaust brake on an 18 wheeler or other commercial truck going down a hill or mountain. That's what it sounds like. Some people say it sounds like a helicopter but I think it sounds like an exhaust brake.

 

Look up diesel exhaust brake on Youtube or more specific just silverado exhaust drone.

Oh ok. Yeah I understand what you're talking about too.

The inside of these cabs is so quiet that idk that I am really too worried about it.

And yes, thank the good Lord that they don't sound like a 4 banger with a coffee can!

Sounds like you are being chased by a Blackhawk chopper. Just drive in M5 and this will keep it in V8 mode. But when you have to click up to 6th or are in D....IDK? some like it, some do not. You didn't say if your last truck had AFM or not.

I thought my last truck did have it, but i didn't have a read out in the dash to say. So i'm not sure and i bought it slightly used so idk.

I checked some sample videos and i dont know that it will bother me too much, might be fun to think i'm getting chased by a blackhawk haha

Would love to hear som sound clips

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
