I’ve been running a muffler and valve delete on my 14 Silverado for a couple months now. It’s definitely is louder that stock, but I’m not satisfied with the tone too much. I’m thinking about just adding a Flowmaster or Magnaflow on while keeping the resonator installed. Has anyone just swapped the muffler and kept the rear resinator in place?

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

Are you looking for louder over all or different sound.

I really just want it a little louder than stock. Not looking for anything super loud or aggressive. Just enough to have a slight rumble and not have too much cab noise. The tone of the muffler delete sounds like an exhaust leak to me now, it just lacks the lower tone I like. I'm iffy on removing the resonator because I don't want it super loud

i've had the magnaflow and that provided a nice mix

you could tell there was something there at startup, nice low tone rumble

and not loud when driving or under accelerating

Thanks I may try that route. It may be asking too much but do you recall which model muffler it was, or one you recommend?

magnaflow 12909
Didn't have time to go back through the posts to see what truck you have. Just know that the Magnaflow 12909 is a 3.5" in and out. It fits on the 6.2 liter exhaust . I have this muffler welded to my stock system. Too it off for more found and went with a MBRP cat back. I found the Magnaflow too quiet unless I pinned the flapper valve open. I did have the resonator still on there though. It's a really good sound, deep and not crackly or poppy.
Now I feel the MBRP is a tad too loud.. At least when it shifts it has a weird flare to the sound.

I recently had the magnaflow 12909 installed and the flapper valve removed and I think its actually a little too loud. I was looking for something just a bit louder than factory that is quiet in the cab when cruising. I thought my factory exhaust on my 2011 6.2 was perfect. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was looking at the gm performance exhaust made by corsa that comes on the all terrain x. Would this be louder than what I have now?

That's strange. I have that muffler and I can't hear it unless I pin the flapper open. Do you still have the resonator on the exhaust?

Have Magnaflow 12909 as well on my 6.2 and it sounds good to me.  Flapper is deleted but kept the stock resonator and does not sound loud at all.

I still have the resonator. I just had the muffler replaced and the flapper valve removed. Does magnaflo make a louder muffler that would fit the 6.2? Is it possible the muffler shop put in the wrong muffler?

Do you have the 5.3 ? If so I think the part number is 12586. That's the quietest over I believe. 3" in and out.
The 12909 is for the 6.2. it has 3.5" in and out.

No I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT with the 6.2L. Maybe I'm just getting old but I think its a bit too loud but the factory exhaust is ridiculously quiet, I can't hear it running from inside my house. I'm wondering if the gm performance exhaust by corsa would be quieter inside the cab because they tune the ANC with the exhaust. Its just an expensive price to pay if it's still too loud.

I just added a Flowmaster 40 in replace of the pipe from the the stock muffler delete. It has a nice low rumble and when I get on it, it can be heard even better. Not sure if I want to take the resonator off yet...

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
