please advise on drone and chopper!

I have the 14" Magnaflow, i also cut out my third cat and ran 3" pipe rather than the stock pipe all the way out the back.

 

The drone is almost not noticeable at highway speeds. Once you get to 75+ it gets a tad louder, but not much. With the radio on, i can't hear it.

 

As for the chopper, it's there... but i dont think it's bad. It is worst at around 40mph in my experience. But once again, with the radio on I can't hear it.

 

The cabs of these new body trucks are incredibly quiet, so if you don't want to hear it... turn the radio on. My old 2008, i didn't have that option as it was always loud. But this magnaflow exhaust is so much better than the flowmasters I had before for daily driving. It's aggressive when accelerating, but it calms right down when you start cruising. I would highly recommend the set up I have as it sounds better all around and flows much better. I've gotten an increase in MPG since I'e had the exhaust, and it kicks into v4 more often than it used to, since I have larger 10-ply tires, which leads me to believe it's able to breathe and function better than before.

" Similar exhaust to dB by CORSA. TMG bought CORSA in '09 and Volant in '13 so all our exhaust is made under the same roof. Old Volant used to have an exhaust program but this new line is similar to the dB."

Well that confirms our suspicion. Did you get yours on yet and if so how do you like it?

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

Just curious if you received your exhaust yet and if you like it?

Not yet unfortunately. I was expecting to have it by now. It's been on back order for a while. Supposed to ship the 12th I guess, but we'll see.

finally got a couple videos up, really sorry for it not being amazing quality, definitely going to want to listen on the computer or with headphones haha.

 

 

So this Corsa/Volant is very interesting. I listened to both idle clips and sounds great. Any in cab videos v4 and v8 mode, windows up/down, wide open throttle etc?

 

Edit: I found one in cab following your youtube account. Found one other video on a Sierra.

Oh ok glad you found it. I'm not sure if you could tell V8-V4 switch in that clip. You can definitely hear it switch back and forth. So I just drive M5 in the city and just throw it back in drive or up to M6 on the highway to still utilize the V4. The V4 doesn't bother me nearly as much on the highway cruising. In the city stop and go the constant switch back and forth drives me crazy, plus I imagine it sounds like extra garbage from the outside haha

Yeah this one right? I never saw it switch on the dash or could tell a difference. Think I would just do the same if it bothered me and hold it in M5.

Looking to do a Flowmaster (thinking Delta 40) on my truck. Did a search and looked through the forum, but didn't see the info I was looking for.

 

Truck is a 2015 Sierra Crew 4x4 1500 5.3 short bed.

 

The stock muffler is center in, but I'm wondering what the out offset is.

 

Also, anyone have this truck with the Delta 40? Thoughts?

 

I had a 50 performance on my last truck, but I was thinking of going a little louder, different.

 

Thanks in advance people.

Unless you like to listen to a helicopter chasing you down the road while in V4 then leave it stock or tune out V4.

Sorry yeah I didn't catch it in that video, I had meant you can definitely hear it in person in the cab

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
