I'm looking into doing a catback exhaust system don't really want to hack the stock system up in case i want to go back at some point. Thinking about the Carven Exhaust kit with the progressive muffler anyone have experience with this setup or company?

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

I'm considering a full catback for my 2018 Silverado LTZ with the 6.2 motor. I'm not looking for loud so of the  Borla and Corsa sysems which models should I be looking at?. Another words which models are the least aggressive?

I know it would be cheaper to just replace muffler but I would like to keep the stock system together just in case I want to go back to it.

Does anybody know if theres any difference between the black widow widowmaker 10" exhaust and the 6" the neighborhater?


One makes your neighbors hate you, the other kills the old guys on the block!

Jokes aside, the 6" will be louder than the 10". Might as well just straight pipe if you're thinking of the 6".

Just my .02, 2014 Seirra 5.3, magnaflow 12589, flapper moved to in front of the muffler, resonator removed, sounds really good. Very quiet at highway speeds, plenty of growl when accelerating. Only thing i dont like is when accelerating around town it gets a little loud in the cab with the windows up around 2000 rpm, windows down its fine. I ran it for a week with the resonator and flapper in original place, barely any noticeable difference from stock muffler. With flapper behind muffler there is a whooshing sound from exhaust, by moving it in front of muffler that goes away.

I got a Borla ATAK for my ‘18 6.2 Sierra.  Damn, it sounds good, but it’s loud.  No drone, but you know an exhaust is on the truck ALL THE TIME.  

 

Was thinking about putting the stock exhaust back on since I’m 41 and getting old plus I’m an exec level guy at my company and don’t want to look like a jackass.  ;)  However now that I’ve put 400 miles on it the past two days going to pick up a horse trailer for my wife, I think I like it.  It just sounds too badass to take off.  

 

Wish a guy was local in DFW with an S-type so I could hear the difference though.

The 6.2 Corsa is loud! I have to pop my truck in neutral and roll out of my garage and down the driveway every morning so the cold start doesn’t wake up the kids... I do love it though. No regrets [emoji106]

GM Performance Borla cat back exhaust system.  Not inexpensive but should be what you are looking for quality and sound wise.

I ended up doing a Magnaflow MF full catback,  just wanted a little more sound when you get in it and it is quiet cruising on the highway. The tip is a little bigger then I wanted but I can always change that later if I decide to.

My Range AFM device showed up on Saturday so on Tuesday I had a 3 inch Flowmaster super 40 series installed with the tailpipe exiting in front of the rear whees on the passenger side.

It sounds good and there is no drone.

5.3l with speed engineering longtubes and catless Y pipe though MBRP part# S5086AL
Aluminum 3.5” exhaust. Y pipe came with the adapter to run the 6.2l 3.5” ball flange. I just had to order the 3.5” ball clamp and chop down one of the pipes to make it fit my 2018 RCSB z71. Truck is filthy in the video. First day in like a week it hasn’t rained.

      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

      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.
