i like the stock set up, it keeps your truck stealthy and quiet, only mod i did was pull the flapper out and weld in a replacement pipe.  the stock exhaust is necked down to bump up the torque output for improved off the line grunt.  loosing torque to gain horsepower seems like the equivalent of loosing muscle mass in order to improve your yoga stretching skills. i'll pass..

Just had a Flowmaster Series 50 Delta Flow installed yesterday. Just a direct replacement of the stock muffler and removed flapper. Sounds exactly like I was shooting for, still muted and not at all obnoxious, but can now actually tell it is a V8! I didn't want much noise inside at all and it is great, you can hear it but it's not intrusive. No drone at all, except of course when V4 activates and then it sounds terrible but that is going away as soon as my Range AFM disabler gets here. I was a little worried that the 50 Series Delta Flow would be so quiet that you could hardly tell the difference from stock, but that's not the case at all.

I went again with the GMC Borla (which is the Borla Touring exhaust that is tuned to GM Specs). I had this setup on my 2015 Sierra and it was great

I'm running a black widow race venom 2.5 i/o in place of the stock muffler. Flapper removed as well as resonator.  With the resonator on it sounded stock still. Once off you could tell the difference. No drone at all (afm is disabled so can't speak for v4 mode). Its not loud inside while idling or cruising but it screams at wot. I don't like stupid loud and like to hear people talking to me from the backseat. I was worried this was going to be too loud as I have always ran their 250 series prior. CAI didn't do much but make the note a little deeper. I think the 250 series has a deeper tone than this and may go back to it once I install long tube headers.

Just got a 40 series put on yesterday, 3.5" tips. Love the sound. Not obnoxiously loud cruising through the neighborhood but loud when you get on the throttle. Love the low rumble. V4 drone is there but way overblown.. will tune that AFM out soon.

Side exit. Gibson MWA Muffler. AFE ypipe

703AEF75-6D1C-4732-AFBB-C937A2DB4C21.jpeg

hows it sound? 

i like my buddies gibson on his 5.0 F150 and their cat back for $500 seems to be a nice middle ground. 

i just want some sound but drive almost all highway so no drone is a must (not worried about v4 mode)

My setup honestly has no drone as long as you aren’t in 5th or 6th Gear just chugging along at a low rpm 

 

everyday normal driving for me I honestly have no drone in the cabin. 
 

these MWA mufflers have no packing in them so no noise gets caught In the muffler. The sound just flows out. I 100% do not regret getting the muffler and love how it sounds.  You can check a sound clip here.  This is before my side exit. But that’s all that changed was the location of the tips. It got a little louder but nothing crazy.

Never messed with the oem exhaust flaps. That all got removed when I did my Gibson dual sport cat back

      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...
