Finally got the new exhaust installed. Went with an 18" Magnaflow muffler, Dynomax 3" stainless pipes and a Jones Exhaust tip (Corsa style). Stock system came out surprisingly easily in one piece doing it by myself. Using Channellock plies to get the hangers off worked great and getting the exhaust over the rear axle was absent of drama. As others have mentioned, jack the passenger side rear tire up about an inch off the ground, support the frame with a jack stand, and lower the spare tire down out of the way. All in all I am very happy with the sound (other than V4) and appearance of it and it only cost me around $350.

How long did it take to remove the stock system? I am really wanting to save some money, new truck is coming in and I really want to take the setup off of my 2014 truck and put in on the 2016 truck and then put the new 2016 truck stuff on the 2014. If I do this it will save me about $400 or so.

Finally got mine finished as well. Removed muffler, flapper valve and resonator. Replaced with 14" Magnaflow and a flowmaster tip. Total was about $350 and it sounds/looks awesome.

It only took about an hour to get the stock exhaust off and that includes the time to jack it up and lower the spare tire. I'm use to working on rusty vehicles with the road salt here but this went super smooth since everything was nearly new. Edited by je1279

Should've had your sister send the headers too. I think since she didn't I'll just come pick them up and test them out on mine until you come back

Let us know how you like it once you get it on. I love the sound of mine other than the V4 drone which is maddening. I have a Range AFM Disabler on the way to fix that though :)

OK!....I just had my Volant exhaust system installed and the Corsa tip installed too!...It went perfectly! The tip could not fit any better if it came with it...I am very, very HAPPY! Looks fantastic and sounds great! Not to loud or to quiet...sounds is perfect!

Is the V4 drone noticeable on the Volant system or does it do a good job of taming it?

I'm sure you would like that very much.

 

 

You can test them out permanently for $1600 lol

I do not experience much drone at all. I love this exhaust! It sounds perfect! The only draw back is when it goes into 4 cylinder mode, you notice it....sounds goofy, but as far as I know, that is to be expected unless you deactivate the active fuel management...I do not regret it at all. It sounds just a tiny tad louder at highway speeds with the cruise control on and when you stomp the go go pedal, she GROWLS!!!

      NEW TRUCK

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'd consider the 5.3 but not the 6.2. Last I heard, investigations were ongoing with the 6.2 failures and that there were continued failures even after engines were replaced.   I have a 3.0 diesel and regard it as the best option for a 1500. It's an excellent engine. Your preferences may differ.   Ford makes a good truck. Wouldn't steer you away from one.

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
