Got the single exit system. Part # 615628. Autoanything.com had it on sale for 30% off when I purchased it. The drone/chopper isn't all that bad. Before I would just feel it, now I hear it.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I thought about it during the 30% off sale and didn't pull the trigger. I'm torn between this and just having a local shop put in a Magnaflow and cut out the flapper and resonator.

Just finished my LTs, ORY, and 22" magnaflow to a 5" tip and its absolutely perfect. I had an aeroturbine 3535 with the LTs at first and was horrible. Terrible drone, raspy as Fk, switched it today and I can hear myself think now!

Corsa Sport Exhaust installed last month sounds great with no problems. Tightened clamps a little with 1/4 inch ratchet Thanksgiving and again few days ago with 1/2 inch drive. As others have mentioned a little loud cold start and assume slight popping is normal while decelerating. Just hear a low rumble on HWY with trans in 6th but in 5M very noticeable. Corsa to me has more of a Glass Pack sound compared to others and makes a warble sound in V4 mode. Range made a huge difference but quit working so sent it back last week. Range Tech just sent message Module has been serviced ,updated to Series 7 should be here Saturday

I have talked to a couple of shops in my area and they are all $325-$400 for Magnaflow custom duals. I was questioning the difference between the 14" and 18" and one of the guys told me most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. I'm assuming he is talking about in the cab? I would think there would be a pretty good difference outside or with the windows down. Anyone have first hand knowledge? It's really hard to tell from YouTube clips.

Im torn between the 14" & 18" right now too. Or even the Borla XR1. Ugh

Here you go. I started with 18" and switched to 14". Cab sound is about the same. Outside the 14 is a more aggressive sound and a bit louder. Very pleased with the 14".

Thanks, I had seen your 14" vid but not the 18". Definitely think Id want the 14" out of the two.

 

Now to just decide between the 14" and the XR1. Was kinda waiting to see what results came out with the muffler trial in this section before making a decision.

Both sound really good. Do you have the 5.3 or 6.2? Also, yours looks like single in/single out. Will dual out make much difference?

I cut everything out after the 3rd "Cat" and replaced it with just pipes. It is slightly quieter than my 2008 Silverado with flowmaster super 40s. Kinda sad but these trucks are quiet.

 

I'm thinking next step is going to cut the 3rd "Cat" out, long tube and highflo cats but it might be too loud, anyone done this yet?

I was also thinking just doing the Long Tube Headers and keeping the stock cat, just have to relocate the existing cats to fit the header. I've done a lot of research and it's all over the place on how much HP gain Highflo is compared to the stock Cats.

I've got the 5.3. Muffler is SI/SO and has no difference in performance or sound if you go SI/DO. I just did SO because i wanted it to run the same route as factory.

Looking into adding a 40 series or 10 series flow master with turndown in my 2014 5.3 Sierra. Any advice on which might be best? I did hear there is sort of a drone when in v4.. Any advice is helpful. I do a lot of high way driving. Want to sound aggressive not overly annoying when I have my daughter

What muffler does magnaflow use on their cat backs. 22"? Safe to assume the 18" weld in set up would be louder?

 

Not 100% sure on that, but it should say on their site. I would assume You should be able to get a full system with the muffler of your choice. I could be wrong tho.

 

For what it's worth, if you just buy the muffler alone and have it welded on and then run the pipes the way you want, it would be much cheaper.

Has anyone compared the performance differences of doing SI/SO to DI/DO or true duals?
It would seem obvious to me that true duals would be the best bet, next to straight pipe... But I've been wrong before.
So I wanted to see if anyone has researched this.

      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.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
