Have a few miles on my Black Widow Venom 250 now and I added a Corsa 3" in 4" duel out tip. No resonator, third cat delete, and no flapper.

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Just for clarification after 162 pages, I wanna make sure I got this right!

 

 

1) Replacement muffler has to be a center/offset setup

2) Stock 5.3 exhaust size is 3"

3) If you're going to keep the AFM, the way to limit drone and "chopper" is to keep the flapper and third resonator

Your going to hear the chopper on any exhaust modification except maybe the factory backed performance exhaust. I just tuned mine off with a hand held. If your hearing exhaust your going to hear the V4 period. There's no voodoo That's going to make the sound anything but what it is. Otherwise all the 4 cylinders out there would sound like V8s.

Sure, I don't think anyone is trying to totally get rid of it with out the AFM disabler. But, being that I'm still under the warranty and have heard mixed reviews regarding the Range module, I'm just trying to limit it.

Your going to hear mix results on anything, human nature. I always had confidence in GM products so I played the odds and went with a tune. After doing research on the whole V4 setup I wasn't as confident so I don't blame anyone for waiting till after their warranty is up. If did it now I would go with the range device. If I was going to have it sit for a few days I would just unplug it.

Unplugging the range is the least of the worries people are having according to the thread on here and elsewhere. Everything from Stabiltrak and ABS involvement to the system just not working at all. I think a lot of it had to do with the CANBUS and trying to jump the communication within it. Sucks I just feel too hesitant about the tune and the range device and will just have to live with the chopper. Just gotta figure out the way that people are minimizing it.

As stock diameter for the 5.3 it's 2.75". The only way you can minimize any drone or v4 chopper is keeping resonator and flapper and going with the quietest muffler there is out there. If you're looking for something more aggressive then you'll get drone.

Is there a real consequence with running the truck in 5th gear all the time? I keep it in M5 (or L5) to eliminate the "chopper" as it doesn't kick into v4.

I don't think so as long as you monitor the RPMs. If it is on side streets and the not the highway, you should be fine.

I keep mine in M5 (3.42) until I hit 60mph. I've had it in M5 until 65mph but I feel like 65 should be in M6 already.

I've had the Range AFM on my 2017 5.3 8 Speed Silverado for over 22K miles now. Just do it!! The only issues I've had is I'll get a check engine light occasionally on start up, unplug the range and plug it back in and you are back in business.

So looking to possible have the flow 10 series installed on my new truck, had a 2015 LT until it was flooded during harvey, just picked up 2017 LT Z71 4wd and want something louder than i had before as far as exhaust, had the 40 series on it before and resonator removed and dumped after the axle..

 

has anyone done the 10 series and regretted it? I know there will be alot of drone inside.. but dont want to regret it either.

Looking for the aggressive sound

i bought the force 2 kit I think it has the 50 or 40 series muffler. Great sound but not loud enough in my opinion. The drone associated with it is not bad but it’s definitely there. Don’t know if this helps but wanted to share. I have the 5.3L by the way

yea see i got the 40 series on my 15 and after having it done was not loud enough, so had them remove the resonator and it was louder, but still didnt feel like what i wanted..

 

I may try the 10 series with the resonator to see how that sounds and not happy take the resonator off.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
