It will be a Turd with dual 3" dual pipes, you would be better off with a single 3" and Y-pipe and good headers and pacesetters are not good headers. Kooks or ARH's are top notch products.

What do you mean exactly in saying "it will be a turd with dual 3" pipes"?

I was looking into true duals as well, but does it kill performance to remove that 3rd cat and run two pipes? I would think that would help.

If you run to big of a pipe you will lose a lot of power down low. I made that mistake on my 1992 silverado. I was young and didn't know any better but I put hooker headers on it and true duals with 3" pipe to flowmaster 40's. It lost a ton of get up and go. Had the pipes replaced with 2.5" and it fixed that problem. Got to love those old throttle body trucks!

I just added a Flowmaster 50 HD series muffler and it sounds pretty good. I thought I wanted the 40 series, but the owner of the shop stated people were coming back complaining about the drone. The 50 series does have some drone, but not too noticeable. I also added a CAI for some sound when my foot is heavy.

I have the 40. I really like the sound from it. There is a tiny drone spot, when accellerating and through the 5th, but it's not bad. However, if you have AFM still enabled, it sounds like a helicoptor is landing on the bed at low speeds when in 4cyl mode (20-30mph)

How it the sound with the 50 series when in V4? I had a 50 on my 2002 with the 4.8 and loved the sound and would like to have that same sound with my 2014.

Yes, like a helicopter. I may just disable the AFM, thanks.

It's not loud, but you can hear it. Of course being my truck, I notice it when no one else does. That is a plus though.

To be honest that is what bugs me the most about my truck. That is why I'm looking for something to make beautiful V8 music with.

Hey guys,

 

 

I'm looking to experiment with some exhaust ideas. Does anybody around the DFW area have a stock 6.2 exhaust that they have pulled off and are looking to get out of the garage?

 

Thanks,

Wes


Any cab/bed configuration works.

The big Eco Tec with Magnafow has more of a low rumble compared to a Vortec 4.8 . I floored it on a county road and it revved up great especially with Airaid installed, lighter weight 2012 Reg. Cab with 4.8 Vortec had more of a high revving tone .

Well 3 days later of reading this entire thread off and on, I've came up with my solution!

 

Magnaflow 14"

Remove flapper

Remove resonator

 

 

Just can't decide if I want it before the rear wheel, or after. A lot louder before the wheel I'd imagine?

Good call. You'll enjoy it. That's what I have. I personally think if it was dumped before the axle it would be too loud. I have mine exiting behind the rear wheel like it is from the factory and I think it's perfect

      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. [1, 2] For analysis from Lauren Fix on how consumer automotive choices can align with political leanings:
