Matt , I've been listening to your "2015 Silverado Jones turbine outside drive" video. Were you happy with the exhaust. Meaning it being a single out vs a dual exit. I know if I was to do this doing a single out would be a cheaper route. I figure 100 for the muffler and whatever for piping back and labor. Do you me asking what rough price that was? My thought would be to keep the flapper just to help on the v4 sound ...but not sure if it would totally defeat the purpose. Did you remove the flapper and if so is the v4 very noticeable? I drive in m4 or m5 unless I hit the highway so not worried about the back roads thanks

FWIW, I asked my exhaust guy about duals vs single. He said the Aero AT3030 would sound the same and it might be little louder if you did a single side dump.

$500 for labor, muffler and tips. I just paid cash so he did not give me a receipt. One shop quoted me $450 for the same work and another quoted me $700. This guy as done all my previous trucks and does amazing work so I decided to stick with him for the extra $50. The muffler runs about $100-$130 depending on where you get it.

5RWill the 40722 says it's a multi-core which means it has 4 different perforated tubes inside I believe.

Yeah. The 40086 is just one perforated tube straight through and the 40722 has 3 or 4 different size perforated tubes. You can google Borla multi-core mufflers for a better idea.

OK, I have given the 14" Magnaflow it's last chance..... still sounds like a Prius to me.

 

GONE.

 

I have now installed the FOURTH muffler on my 2014 Silverado and it's almost loud enough. I finally went with the Original Flowmaster 40, no flapper valve, deleted 3rd cat. Sounds pretty good, but still pretty quiet for my taste.

 

I guess the only way it's going to sound like a V8 should is long-tube headers. :drool:

 

FYI: For many of you, the Flow 40 will be too loud... for me, it's not loud enough.

 

The only time it sounds really good is with all the windows down and revving under a bridge. :lol:

 

(I'll post a sound-clip in a couple days).

 

Here's a cutaway pic... doesn't get much simpler that this:

One thing I have noticed about the K2 trucks is, they are 'quiet' no matter what the exhaust system is. IMO, the only 'loud' setup I have liked so far is the Stainless Works. It sounded like but not obnoxious straight piped, popping, crackling loud.

Did you get rid of your 3030 muffler?

Oh no, I love it!

No... my agreement with the shop is they keep the old muffler and I get a good price.

I agree 100%. The THREE cats have plenty of restriction to kill any decent sound! Edited by Luster

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Z45 · Posted

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
