Anyone familiar with the Gibson Metal Mulisha exhaust for 6.2L? If so what's the deal with the 4" piping? Sounds good as far as I can hear on YouTube just not a big fan of the exhaust tip but cant beat the price. I've used Corsa sport on 2 prior vehicles and still looking for that sound level but don't really want to pay the 1k price tag.

 

Volant is basically the Corsa with lower grade stainless, without the name and no flex joint if I remember right. 700ish but I found it a little cheaper on autoanything on sale.

That is a pretty loaded question :).

 

It all depends on what you're after in an exhaust. It also depends on what side effects you're willing to put up with. (Helicopter noise if you have v4 mode still active, Drone if you go with a loud setup, etc)

Try the Flowmaster 50. I have had this muffler before a tune with V4 and after. Good either way. Kinda falls into that sweet spot. A lot like that childrens story with the three bears and that little tramp that broke in and eat all their shit and ordered a bunch of pay per view.

I am looking for a really deep sound but not to loud

Corsa is deep, but can be loud.

Borla is deep, but can be muffled if you get a larger sized muffler.

MagnaFlow, pretty much the same as Borla.

Flowmaster, isn't as deep, more loud.

 

These are my opinions and experiences.

I have it on my 5.3 and love the sound, it's a 4 inch exhaust for my truck also. I really like the way it sounds. I also have a range device to disable AFM.

I'd prefer just a muffler upgrade and obviously worried about the V4 sound being an issue. Been there / done that with annoying highway rides and it sucks.

Is it just me or do these trucks have a much deeper tone than previous generations? I'm not talking in stock form.

 

I've recently been listening to vids where guys are doing a muffler and resonator delete, the warm idle sounds so sick!! It nearly reminds me of a straight piped Duramax. I wonder if these trucks idle a bit lower than previous generations as well, that may add to it. Even revs sounds pretty good with the muffler/resonator delete. I am usually not a fan of the sound when people "straight pipe" but on this gen truck I'm liking it. I'm tossing the idea of doing it to mine.... I dunno tho.

Has anyone had muffler installed where the resonator was? I originally did the muffler delete and left the resonator in. I wanted it louder so I got a muffler I liked and it was small enough to be installed where the resonator was cut out at so I had the shop do that instead of cutting out the straight pipe we had already put in there. I'm assuming it wouldn't make any difference if the muffler is a little bit farther back right? I was thinking it would be louder, so that's why I am wondering.

Personally I never liked that the resonator looked like a huge growth in the fender well. I would just put the muffler where it normally would and change out the tailpipe also so it doesn't look all hacked up.

It doesn't bother me being in view of the wheel well, I was just wondering if it would make any difference.

Fixed the Y Pipe rubbing today, just cut out the corner of the transmission crossmember bracket.

After a year and half and having listened to many different exhuast setups I have decided to go with a muffler delete. I currently have the MagnaFlow dual rear exit cat back, and though it sounds good, it is just not loud enough.

 

I have listened to various different muffler delete setups and aside from the loud cold start they sound great to me. I will go in Thursday to replace MagnaFlow muffler for a stainless y pipe. The factory cats muffle the sound so much. I can't wait!

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      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.
