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....

I have a flowmaster 40series single in single out on my v6, the flapper and old muffler were deleted everything else stayed. Just a very slight drone and is not super loud.

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

 

That's why I steer clear of threads where people talk about their wives/gfs. I don't need that sort of temptation, I'm quite conent with what I have now.

I knew you couldn't resist...

Yeah, I know. I saw my son's 2010 Silvy with the Corsa yesterday and heard it again...and then I was looking at mine again while fixing one of the LEDs on my AMP PowerSteps...big muffler, flapper, resonator...and then AutoAnything kept sending me emails about sales! And then they price matched...and I'm using the Range AFM delete...and then I rode in wife's T/A with Corsa and that nice sound at 80 mph...too much pressure...haha (no more excuses...)

Couldn't take it any more...?

Has anyone moved the flapper upstream/before the muffler and delete resonator?

Not sure why anyone would go through the hassle and cost to do this. It would sound pretty close to stock. Just clamp open the flapper valve or get it removed. The difference it makes is noticeable but not anywhere near being too loud.

Hey guys I have a question for re doing the entire exhaust system

 

I'm looking to redo everything with larger tubing,long tube headers and catback with the most aggressive sound and best performance possible. What product/combos would you recommend? (Sites would be handy but keep in mind I live in canada). Also a recommendation on a good high flow catalytic converter would be great.

 

Right now I have a stock exhaust with the stock muffler replaced with a flow master super 10 and love it but live in a salty area and am looking to replace everything I can with stainless steel parts for help with rust.

 

 

I have a short bed 2014 silverado z71 with the 5.3

 

 

(I am aware this may have already come up but I don't wanna read 80 pages of comments)

So the 14" magnaflow is plenty loud with the 3rd converter left intact, so gonna keep it like that. However, not fully sold on the location of the tips. Opinions? Leave it where it is or move it to exit behind rear tire in stock locstion?

Corsa installed !d80d094965e7a8803205b0c9d1f6c01f.jpg

How do you like the Corsa so far? What kind did you get, Sport or Xtreme? I'm looking into them, and I'm liking them more than the Borla alternative.

 

How's cruising with it? I want something that'll be more aggressive when accelerating and idling, but for the amount I drive, I still want to be able to not go insane. Guess I'm too picky.

Kind of hesitant to admit it bout I bought the DBL cab V6. It does everything I need and it's feels a lot better than I thought it would. Any suggestions on an exhaust or will they all sound cheap at higher RPM's? I've seen videos and they sound good at idle but I'm not sold on how will sound in V4 mode or even V6 at higher RPM's...... That in advance fellas. (I've had fully loaded V8's in the past but didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash this go around. I have a few other irons in the fire at the moment.....)

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
