If you stay with the stock size exhaust is it safe to say you won't lose any low end torque? Or is there a certain size a lot of you have been running with no torque loss?

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

A full 3" system will be plenty.

I called my local dealership and they quoted me almost 1500 for the borla exhaust and labor for install. That is a lot of money for an exhaust. Maybe for now I'll pass on it.

Yeah, they want a lot of money for that system.

Does anyone have the GM Borla exhaust installed with Headers?

I rather go for an aftermarket then. Really all I wanted was the look of dual exhaust right now with a little more rumble.

Go with a longer magnaflow. I have the 14" and i absolutely love it. The 22" is the quieter of the magnaflow mufflers though.

I had a local shop custom bend 3" pipe from the Y all the way out the back and they cut out the 3rd cat.

I would highly recommend what I got. The shop recommended it to me and I am so glad I listened!

Good luck on both parts! :) (or not really, cause I wanna hear what it sounds like)

After some trail and error (not much error, just sound preference), I think I have my setup complete.

 

Hopefully I am done with Exhaust components now, as my wallet was starting to dislike me.

 

Setup:

Texas Speed 1 7/8 LT Headers

Texas Speed Off Road Y

OEM Catback with Borla 40359 replacing OEM Muffler & Flapper. OEM Resonator is still in place.

 

Here are a couple videos. Normal Accel, Hard Accel (windows up for both), and then Warm Start with Rev. I'll upload a cold start after I grab a video tomorrow morning.

 

This setup sounds great to me. It's nice and quiet cruising, and makes noise when you want it to.

 

NOTE: I have 4 cyl mode (AFM) tuned out, that is why I got rid of the flapper. If you have it still active, I'd leave it in place to keep the chopper noise to a minimum.

 

Normal Accel:

 

 

Hard Accel:

 

 

Warm Start & Rev (and old man Kody 14.5yrs old):

Does anyone have experience with doing the muffler delete and then switching to something else? I did the muffler delete last week and I liked it for a couple days, now I think its not loud enough so I am looking to chop off the resonator and put a different muffler back in. The shop i go to has flowmaster 40 series, but he said he thought it would be quieter with the flowmaster which I find hard to believe. So I'm just looking for some help before I throw more money at it blindly.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
