I think it sounds pretty good at WOT.

 

But anyway, for those on the fence about what exhaust to get, consider this:

 

You can buy this exhaust for $330, and a Magnaflow muffler (for example) for another $100, and end up with a Magnaflow exhaust and save yourself $450, over the $900 Magnaflow system. Don't get me wrong, I REALLY like Magnaflow products, but their price for a cat-back is ridiculous considering you can buy the same thing for almost 1/3 of the price.

 

Exactly. I would really love to find a Corsa muffler to put in, but I don't know if they make any that are Center IN Offset Out. Everything I have seen from them is Center Center.

 

This is all you need to make any muffler with a shorter case work too.

Sig,this is true, but I am not sure how the metal quality is on the dynomax compared to the magnaflow system. And what is up with the exhaust tip on the dynomax kit? I also broke the clamp trying to put the thing on. It is slightly too large of a inlet diameter to fit over the tailpipe. The tip dynomax uses is made in China though so I guess that explains it.

I too broke the clamp on the tip.

Hello,

 

I'm new to the forum and I'm interested in a Borla system. I heard the GM Borla Catback in person today and though it was a nice sound, it really just had that "stock rumble" to it and I'm looking for something a little more aggressive. I am leaning towards the S-Type, but have concern about the drone. I don't know if the S-Type is the sound I want either, but I'm a little scared of the ATAK as I'm sure it has the most drone and longterm may be annoying. Does anyone run the S or ATAK?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Put the magnaflow on. Can finally hear the truck. Louder when idling and a good growl when accelerating

Has anyone install the cat back magnaflow 15268 MF system. I see some of you have installed just the muffler but i'm looking for reviews on the complete system. 950 includes polished exhaust tips. No flapper valve.

300+ cheaper then the GM Borla.

I found GM Borla $1050 minus tips GM Parts Direct ( Flow GM Auto Center ). I'm considering taking off the shop installed Magnaflow with cheap hangers and tips.

Alrighty, if I gathered the right info, to suit my needs for a louder rig. I need to cut the flapper and resonator out. Slap a magnaflow 14" (PN 12229) in. Then IMO 45 out to behind the rear passages tire to black tip Y. Anyone see any protenial problems?

 

Edit: take the stock muffler out as well....

Pretty much exactly what I plan on doing. 14" and add a dual 4" tip. No flapper or resonator. Should sound great!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
