Picked up a Black Widow Venom 250 this past week, excited to get this thing on! Anyone running exhausts out the side before the back tire? Trying to figure out the tip I want to put on. Ideas?

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

Here are the 2 tips I went with on my truck.

 

Corsa 3" in Duel 4" out

 

 

Jegs 3" in 3.5" out

I had my exhaust coming out of the body in front of my wheel, I used a double walled tip and 5mm heat resistant vacuum hose to protect the truck. There should be pics in my profile, dont have any on my phone right now.

I love that corsa but would like to side pipe it without chopping into my fender (amazing job Salior btw). I was looking into this Wesdon pipe but a couple of people I have chatted with, hated the end product. They say the tips inside the tips rattle pretty bad. (3in 5out)

So if I can get something similar to this look and a much better build quality, I am in.

I wanted Corsa style tips but couldn't settle on one with so many out there. I went on eBay and decided to pull the trigger on one and overall I'm happy with it. Mine doesn't rattle. It's not the best picture but it's the only one I have.d9f2bbdaffd8ae3e312234b18d3edca9.jpg

Thought about it and corsa tip just looks so good. Ordered that. Did the tip change the sound at all?

To me is seemed to change the tone a little but I think it's just the muffler breaking in.

while not preferred, is there anyway to do a DIY muffler swap and use clamps and extension pieces? trying to get a better sound without spending too much right now.

Added the 18" Magnaflow (p/n 11259) but kept the resonator and flapper. Barely noticeable difference from stock. Went a head and ordered the Dynomax 3" intermediate pipe in stainless (p/n 55608) and the 3" tailpipe in stainless (p/n 54704). Will be getting installed next week. May or may not have to get the Range AFM disabler depending on the drone.

As long as you have the right tools to get clean cuts and such, def doable. I did just that back in the day, until i was happy, then would take it into the muffler shop to have it welded in..

It seems like a factory one does not exist for our trucks. Would have to have an exhaust guy with some knowhow make one I guess!

I installed a flowmaster super 10 series which they said is their loudest muffler. I  left the V4 flap and deleted  resonator. Ive had this new set up for 2 months now and there is quite a difference. I plan on taking out the V4 flap because at low rpms it makes the exhaust hiss a little, ( it does sound like a exchaust leak but I've had many people look at it and they say there no leak and that hissing noise is the v4 flap opening and closing. But driving around in tow mode takes that problem away and definitely turned heads. 

 

I hope this was somewhat helpful.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
