Just put on a flow master flowFX cat back on my 2016 Sierra. Sounds good!

That is exactly what I have and it sounds SO smooth and so deep.  I love it.

Ok so this is my first truck, and it def needs to louder!!! I want people to hear me coming!

 

My question is what is best to accomplish this? My friend said there is no need to do a full system, said something about putting on 2 flow masters and pipes either out the back or off the sides. Also said something about 1 pipe out of the cat to 2 pipes?

 

Sorry for my ignorance in this subject!

 

Thanks

I have a Borla ATAK exhaust and it definitely lets people know you are there.

anyone keep the stock muffler and just run a nicer looking tailpipe? 

 

 Tips are a very personal preference thing.  I don't like double wall tips at all and can't stand a rolled tip. Just a slash cut stainless tip is, in my opinion, perfect. I got this last year and it works great.  Just slid it over stock, it's the correct size for a 5.3's 2.75" tailpipe.  I had to tap it on with a rubber mallet as it was a very tight fit.   Love the look of it.

Yondu is perfectly correct about the ease of installing a chrome tip. A slash cut chromed or stainless will slip right over the stock pipe with just a tap from a mallet. For my taste, cut about six inches off the factory pipe before slipping the new tip over it, so that the finished tip does not stick out further and look odd. Also, I paid attention to twisting the tip so that the angle was to the rear, but slightly downward. It looked cleaner to me, when you couldn’t see up into the pipe from behind the truck.

 

If you are looking for the simplest and very cheap performance upgrade for the exhaust. Cut the factory pipe before the muffler and just after flapper. Then put back a piece of straight pipe in its place. Leave everything else alone.  It’s a small performance improvement, sounds good and the price is right.

Well, I'm pretty cheap, but I went with Corsa because I HATE drone. Put on a Corsa Sport, and as advertised, there is no drone at speed. But damn it sounds great when you push...

I’ve used Corsa in the past. Actually toured their facility a couple times.

Quoting myself but...

 

I love the sound of this exhaust except at 1800-2000 RPMs, for some reason in that spot I get a drone, not horrible but certainly noticeable ?

that means that if I am getting up to speed at a slower pace to conserve fuel it hits that RPM range in a couple different gears.

 

Stock exhaust has resonator after muffler, would installing one after the muffler tone down the drone at all?

If so, any recommendations?

Anyone got a Magnaflow 14159? Just got one and am thinking what is sounds like minus the third cat. Will use this with the Attak or black widow 250. Found one vid with third cat.

This is with the 14419 and third cat delete. The 14159 will be similar. Probably a little deeper and not quite as loud being a larger case.

Were there any issues installing the exhaust hanger on the drivers side with the ATAK system?  Seems like the class III hitch might interfere.  This pic is from my 2018 Sierra.

      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?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      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.
