2014+ Exhaust Systems & Mufflers

Kerrslight · April 24, 2015

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.

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.

Looks good!

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!

Just installed the corsa sport on my 5.3... here is a short clip from in the cab w/ the windows down....

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
