I have the v6 with a flowmaster super 40 but still have the resonator, no floppy valve, you think if I remove the resonator I'll get a deeper growl? What about drone? I know v6 :-( lol

 

Resonator will definitely make it louder, probably deeper as well. The resonator is very restrictive. It will give you more drone, but its not going to make a huge difference with it removed. I say remove it and give it a shot

 

I'm tossing around the idea of a 22" or 18" today. if I find one in town I'll report back on which way I went

 

22" sounds exactly like stock, just a little deeper. 18" is nice. I had that one before the 14" I have now. I have a startup video and an incab I can upload for you. Sounds very similar to the 14", just a little quieter and not as aggressive of a tone. I'll upload it real quick so you can check it out.

Yeah, I'm mostly worried about the sound when I'm dragging a 7600# trailer around. Many exhausts sound good until you put a constant load on them... That is when the sound makes me wanna burn my face off.

 

I can stand Flowmaster 10's dumped in a bar hopper, midnight drag type of vehicle but traveling 20 hours straight pulling weight you tend to be a little more picky.

My guess is you'd really like the 18" then. Honestly the 22" is barely noticeable even at high rpm. You might hear a little hum, but not much more. 18" at high rpm you can hear it, but it's very subtle. Video is uploading now so I'll post it when Its done.

Here you go. Here's a startup and in-cab video of the 18" Magnaflow.

Sure is quiet! I tried getting sound of Magnaflow on 2012 and just got wind noise. It had low rumble at idle and muscle car sound when accelerating

Damn it...this is getting more and more confusing. I was set on doing the 18" Magnaflow SI/SO (P/N 11259) with resonator and flapper delete and RTP dual tips. But now after hearing Kerrslights 14" I'm second guessing my original plan. Is the 18" noticible in the cab or is it way too quiet?

I see that magnaflow has mufflers in a 4x9 oval or 5x8 oval. Is there any difference in sound between the two?

18" you can pretty much only hear under acceleration. Other than that it's pretty quiet. Nice tone, but not as loud or aggressive as 14". That's why I switched from 18 to 14. Very pleased with 14.

No sound difference. Just sized differently for different applications

Any recommendations on which size would be ideal for the silverado?

Check the part number I posted. That's the same one I got. As long as it's 3" I/O you'll be good

When looking straight on to the square on the flapper, do you rotate it counter clockwise to the open position?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
