Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

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?

that magna flow 14 sounds perfect exactly what i want, i couldnt even tell the drone to be honest on my laptop speakders which are beats.

 

did you remove flapper and resonator as well? what part number did you use/

Yes, removed flapper and resonator. Part #12229

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
