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.

Not at all, they have a hanger that is provided in the kit that bolts up using the hitch receiver hardware. Just make sure you torque it back down to the hitch receiver specs. I would post a picture but unfortunately my truck is in the body shop. During the most recent snow storm a plow took out the passenger side bed side and rear bumper.

So the hanger will fit in between those two metal parts of the hitch?  Every time I see an install on you tube, it’s for a truck without an OEM hitch from the factory.

Yes, I took the nut and washer off the bolt that is closer to the wheel well and slid the bracket on. I did not have to remove the hitch receiver, it slid right on then torqued it back down.

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?

Following up, 

 

I added a Vibrant 1794 in the stock resonator location and it made a huge difference in the drone at 2k while smoothing out the entire range of sound.

For me it seems about perfect, I have a highway trip this weekend so we will see how it sounds @ 75mph for and extended period.

 

Now, if I could just keep my foot out of it so get my mpg's up ?

Good evening. Looking for some

help as I thought I ordered the correct sizing but reading more looks like I ordered too small. I bought a 2.5” I/O Flowmaster FlowFx to do a muffler only replacement. It looks like many people are doing 3” but I see also a lot are doing 2.5” out for duals. My question is if my 2.5” I/O will work or not?

Stock 5.3 = 3” and stock 6.2 = 3.5” so nope, 2.5” is no good. You have to change exhaust from manifold back or y-pipe back for it to work.

 5.3 is actually 2.75” from Y-pipe connection to tail pipe. You’ll need 3”-2.75” reducers, have the factory pipe expanded, or have the muffler welded on if your just doing a 3” muffler swap. Walker also makes a 3” stainless intermediate pipe (pn 55608) that will work on these trucks.

recently purchased a 2016 5.3 with a 12" glass pack and turn down. NOT keeping that setup!

 

from looking under the truck, it appears they welded the glass pack on where the stock muffler was removed.

 

looking for suggestions on which exhaust system, cat back i'm thinking, would be nice and quiet in the cab.

TSP headers and y pipe with stock resonator (as a muffler) and the boom tube tip. Absolutely love this setup and hopefully soon can learn to weld a stainless 3.5" or 4" setup.

Just bought some TSP long tube headers with catless ypipe (so they said but look more like speed engineering) to go with my Corsa Performance Exhaust hope it sounds good, exhaust is for a 6.2 kinda like this setup because the ypipe has a swapable end for 5.3 or 6.2 bought this used so let’s hope this was worth it!!!

Are you sure those are TSPs? Mine have ball flanges and didn’t turn that color. May just be an earlier version. Corsa will sound badass but it’s going to be loud AF.

They look more like Speed Engineering to me. I’ve heard good things about them but hopefully he didn’t try to sell you something for more then he paid new.

      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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
