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.

thanks for your feed back. What other exhaust would you suggest?

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!

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.
