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.

lol I tagged my cousin who's also into trucks with a status of that. I told him that's the sound I wanted. To which he replied "so you want 800hp?"

 

Yes. That is correct. Lol

 

I'd kill for my truck to sound like that. I really want that Baja kits prerunner kit. And honest to God I don't have any real reason to want it other than just to have that capability. Just see a horrible road and go WOT down it laughing.

 

Though I imagine it takes some immense skill to drive that way.

I have the Carven Type R with no resanotor or flapper valve. I do not think it is that loud. Would removing the 3rd cat help? Any benefit or drawbacks to doing that?

 

Any thoughts on this? I've been reading up on it, but it doesn't seem it is very popular. Don't want to go through the hassle of removing it to find it sounds the same as it does now.

Has anyone here ever used a muffler from black widow exhaust? I'm thinking of swapping my stock muffler and using one of their Venom 300 mufflers with the resonator in place. Looked through a couple pages but not going to look through 150+ ahah.

I've only heard online video/sound clips with 3rd cat removed and it 'appears' to have a slight more throaty sound at around 2500 rpm up. GM 'resonators' are straight through with a small tube protruding inside that extends into resonator body creating a resonance chamber to offset drone with zero effect on flow or power, however a 3rd cat is a honeycomb substrate that exhaust gas must pass through to meet California emissions requirements. The 3rd cat has a very large body with a large number of honeycomb cells (cat substrate) with less restriction than upstream main cats near your exhaust manifold.

 

With that said , I have a GM Performance catback (Corsa 3.5") and plan to modify or replace factory Y-Pipe for a better sound.

Exhaust Science Demystified

 

Although from 2005 Super Chevy article this article covers exhaust from A-Z very well.

 

Likely far more information than most will want to read but the details are explained and detailed well.

Posted for sound. Idk why but i wish i had 3" pipe piped all the way back from the muffler. Bothers me now looking at my tip from the side that it's this skinny looking tailpipe merging to a larger tip.

I went 3" from the Y and 3rd cat(which I cut out) all the way out and I love it.

 

And it's no wonder that things sounds so awesome! Sounds cammed,with intake, super charger and who knows what else!

I've gotten to where i adore the sound of a cam. Though watching some videos about it makes me question whether it would be a viable upgrade for a daily driver or not. I wouldn't want to lose my low end torque in any scenario but would want the upper end gains of a larger cam.

I did the AFM delete and cam swap on my G8. Just starting the car up put a big smile on my face. I miss that lope.

Was every day driving bad?

Not at all. In fact it was a blast.

Thanks man. I was debating on this. I decided not to do it for the time being, but may end up doing it later. The tone is already pretty deep with the Carven Type R and no resonator or flapper. Get a nice pop when letting off the gas too.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      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.
