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.

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.

 

Ask me how I know.

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?

What wheels are you running? Like the look!

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.....)

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
