This is what I am planning on having my local shop do but not a true dual setup. I love angle on how the exhaust exits with the black tips. Doing a 3" Aero Turbine Y pipe with 2.5" pipes. I loved the Aero Turbine on my '05 5.3L so I am sticking with that.

No issue with drone on my truck. I read a lot of reviews on this system from all the websites that sold it then pulled the trigger. I did go to napa and buy some heavier duty exhaust clamps to replace the cheaper ones that it came with. Also you can pull the stock system out in one piece, just jack up your truck to create a little more room. That way for some crazy reason if you dont like the gibson you can send it back and put stock back on. Anyways im happy with it so far and i just ordered the kicker soundgate audio upgrade so ill give a review on that after i install it. Good luck

Appreciate the help. I went ahead and ordered it last night. Can't wait to get it on and hear it.

You will be happy with the single. Had that on my 09 GMC and really liked it. The dual sport is a little louder but not annoyingly so, you can just barely hear it at highway cruising speeds. Honestly if I were to do it over I would go back to the single.

I got my tail pipe done like that and love it. I only have a single, but it's nice to have it hidden. I wish it was black though. That would be awesome.

That is what made me fall in love. Doing the exact setup and my exhaust guy quoted me $475 OTD. Not too bad.

I am going with a 3030 (3") Aero Turbine muffler with a Y pipe setup with duals. I don't know if I will be doing 2.5" or 2.25" from the muffler back but my exhaust guy will know what we will sound the best. I am still trying to find black chrome exhaust tips like that.

 

I had a 3030 Aero on my '05 and loved it. I had it a single dump right before the rear passenger tire with 3" all the way back. It was throaty and deep and really opened up if you put the skinny pedal down. I had few guys randomly follow me to ask me where I got it done because it sounded and looked really good. I am not a big fan of snap, crackle, pop exhaust typically found with straight pipes. Just a moderate deep tone that let's it breath a little more.

I've used the GM OEM rolled tips before and they are high quality. Sourced them by shopping the part number on the Internet. Usually find good prices from GM dealers selling through eBay. My dealer gave me one for my current truck as part of my deal, but I replaced it with the Borla tips after installing the GM Borla exhaust.post-106333-0-25845700-1454174938_thumb.jpeg

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
