That's a pretty small "muffler". What kind is it? Any sound clips?

It’s a dynomax bullet. I have clips on Instagram and FB

Gotcha. Kind of wish I would've fine that route, I just had a pipe welded in for the resonator and kept the stock piping.

You can probably go to a reputable shop and they can put new piping and new tips on the truck for prolly under $200. I live in Houston area so I go to Aces Performance for anything exhaust wise. They have always done my truck right.

I’ve been using custom benders for 40 years. The are cheaper you can customized your exhaust to your liking. On my 14 I went with muffler delete, it wasn’t very loud. Later I added magaflo for a different tone. I’m continually amazed that people will pay over a grand for mail order exhaust and install it themselves. A little online searching can result in finding a custom bender.

Who's your bender in the area?  I need to have my stock muffler and resonator removed and replaced with Carven or some other aftermarket muffler.

I've been using Ace as well. Robert is installing headers on mine in a few days..

Joey is a friend of our family. He’s done S/C install for us and work on everything when we been too busy to do it ourselves. Anytime you go by he’s got a classic of some kind being worked on.

I use the Pasadena location because it’s closer. It’s probably the most common used one now since it’s newer and bigger and nicer. They have a dyno there as well. Im gonna be going back soon to get corsa style tips put back on. I had some before but had an issue with not getting flow equally out both sides and it had a weird whistles type noise to it at WOT. But they are good guys there. They installed my headers and catless Y as well. I had the Carven TR and it was pretty loud with the headers. Switched over to a 24” magnaflow and it helped a lot.

Has anyone welded in the Borla 400130 that used to be sold under GM performance parts 19131347?  It’s the S type muffler that sounds good on start up and when you accelerate while staying relatively quiet on the highway with no drone.  I bought it in 2012 for $72 and now Borla and other sites sell it for over $200.  Borla says when GM stopped offering it there was such a demand that they continued to market it.

Well I just got back from the shop and had my guy remove my resonator and install some tips and OMG, The Magnaflow 12259 with the resonator was nice over stock and provided a low tone sound but now without the resonator the sound is more throaty and minimal increase in db while at idle and honestly lower db at cruising speed. More db while accelerating but that is expected. 

 

I wish my cell phone would pick up the sound better.

I had the Borla 400130 installed today in place of the OEM muffler.  There is hardly any change.  Do the 3rd cats on these trucks really muffle the exhaust that much?  I left the resonator on because the shop said it was straight through and didn't have any effect on the exhaust.  It doesn't sound any louder at start up than before.

 

Might should have gotten the Magnaflow 12259 like others on here have said.  Ugh! 

 

Can you clean out the 3rd cat and reinstall it so it looks like nothing was done?

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
