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.

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

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?

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

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
