Got my MBRP kit today for my 2015 double cab's 6.2. I will probably toss the third cat if I can and or just hollow the thing out as well as this exhaust. There is enough pipe in the kit I could probably delete that third one but I doubt its front connection is the same as the rear thus I would have to go somewhere and get it welded. If that be the case, gutting will suffice. It should sound good I am thinking either way.

Just wrapped up my exhaust. Truck is a 2015 RCSB 5.3

 

Kooks 1 7/8"

Kooks 3 to 3 1/2" catless y-pipe for a 6.2

MBRP 3 1/2" 6.2 cat back modified to fit a RCSB

 

Here is a vid of a cold start.
I will get a vid of a warm start and warm idle. Once the engine warms up the timing changes and makes a very noticeable difference. Gets much quieter and deeper.

The mic on my phone cannot pic up the full definition of the exhaust note.

Really think Im going to have to go with a Magnaflow 14" muffler...

 

I cant stand the chopper sound, so I guess Ill delete the resonator but leave the flapper.

You'll really like it. That's what I have and I love it. Had the 18" as well, but the 14" was a little louder and sounded meaner. No noticeable difference in sound from inside the cab tho. Check out my video though. If you use good headphones or speakers, you can hear the V4 drone. You can hear it, but after a while you really don't even notice it anymore. I would also highly suggest removing the flapper. If you don't it will take a good amount of sound away.

Do you have a good amount of the chopper noise? Although seeing you have a tune Im assuming you have the AFM turned off (yet in video you show it still has the V4 mode). Thoughts?

 

I plan to do the muffler and tune here in coming months, so I guess its best to do the muffler (and flapper) and soon after the tune, and just go ahead and turn off the AFM. I just cant stand the chopper noise!

I actually just got my tuner a few weeks ago. I've had the exhaust for 3-4 months now. I personally am not a fan of the chopper noise so to eliminate that just drive in M5. You truck will still shift from 1-5 on its own, but all this does is lockout 6th gear. By doing this the AFM will not kick on, therefore no drone. You'll notice towards the end of the video when I state V4 comes on, I shift up from M5 to D.

 

***EDIT - I just noticed you've got a 15 denali so my guess is you have the 8 speed. If that's the case, use same method, just shift to M7. I drove around using M5 from the day I got it installed to the day I got my tune. No harm no foul.

Are any of you using a dual in/dual out Magnaflow? If so, what size? Also, is there a difference in the amount of drone you get from those vs. single in/dual out when the AFM kicks in?

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
