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.

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.

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!

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
