The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

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?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
