I've got my eye on this one, Gibson seems to have the deepest rumble of the ones ive listened too. After my new rims get put on tomorrow the exhaust is next. what do you guys think

I had that one on my 09 and liked it. It's quiet in normal driving but a nice low rumble when you get on it. I would check Jegs website for prices. I got my stainless system for 531 shipped.

I installed the (140537) Borla Atak cat-back with dual rear tips back in Dec. My wife wasn't really happy with the sound(too loud) and didn't like riding in the truck. So I talked to Steve @ Borla (great guy) and he suggested the (406070) TurboXL, so here it is about 5+ months and 3k miles later. My wife wears headphones and reads when in the truck, the Turbo Xl sits unopened in the corner of the workshop and I LOVE the sound after the system has broken in. Not obnoxious in my book, but when you hit it, people notice...... :D

I'm looking into straight piping the truck for now till I get my full system in. Any one know what size the pipe is? Looks like 3" before muffler and 2.5" after. Any help?

An 18" magnaflow is nearly unheard on the interstate/highway speeds. Mainly heard during start up or decent to heavy acceleration. Anyone who says its too loud should've stayed stock IMO

That being said, I think a muffler in the 18" range should be just fine for the pup and doubt the bed would become a giant subwoofer. If you are really worried then you could always get a bed rug bed mat to drop in, should help kill some sound because of its rug like design.

And for my last opinion which will likely catch a lot of flack from somec, you could even do an exhaust cut out. Costs the same amount to have it installed as a muffler swap, and you can open or close the exhaust. If you want it louder, open the cut out, getting on the highway and want the piece of mind that you definitely won't be bothering the dog? Close the cut out. I got it on my truck and love it. I open it in the city and when getting on the highway close it up (most of the time) cause it can become a real drone maker with it open at 75

 

Ps, I had an 18" magnaflow put on my truck before I picked it up from the dealer on Day 1. I put on 18K miles and then decided I wanted it to be a bit louder (SOMETIMES) so I decided to get a cut out. I have been loving the flexibility of the cut out so much

The second pic shows the cutout and my muffler. I have the 18" magnaflow single in dual out, with the tailpipes under the rear bumper

Just towed my ~5,000 # pontoon boat to the lake last weekend over the interstate at 65-70 mph and on back roads from 45-60 mph. The Dynomax VT still sounds great with no annoying interior noise-even under load with a trailer and switching into V4. In my past experience, towing amplifies any noise from an exhaust that resonates or drones. *very pleased* :D

Here are pic's of my Magnaflow #15318 for the 6.2, no drone!

How does it sound when driving and accelerating? Got the same system in the garage, just have not time to install it. Got any sound clips or video?

Does anyone know if the drone exists, or is as bad, with the V6 after installing a new system? I'd like to get a system and forget about the flapper but it seems everyone refers to experience with the V8....

Ordered Borla ATAK... can't wait to hook this up. Most aggressive exhaust out there for these trucks. Then comes Kooks headers and y-pipe.

Ordered Corsa today...

 

I knew you couldn't resist. I thought you said were going to stay "stock" this time around. I know, same thing with me, just couldn't stay with that wimpy "Factory" sound. Let me know how you like it once installed. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm the guy with the "GM Borla" system, and I couldn't be happier.

I don't think staying stock is possible once you join a forum lol

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing.
