He is very knowledgeable. I didnt ask about the back pressure loss but did pick his brain about headers and gears as well as tuning.

 

When i go home i am willing to take the drive.... All 5ish hours just to get a good tune.... I have done it before. Lol

Yeah it's 10 hours from me or else I would make the drive.

I wouldn't be buying my magnaflow set up i'm getting put on today. I'd be going straight to him.

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.

I dont agree with the exhaust being 4" on a 5.3 but he swears by it and well he has the dyno sheets.... But the black truck he dynoed over 400rwhp on bolt oms and a cam had a magnaflow catback.

True. If I hadn't just bought a new truck I may have thought about buying that one from him. Thing was sweet.

I'm going with a 3" to 14" Magnaflow and 3" single out the back and cutting out the third cat. Should be picking it up here in a bit. I'm pretty pumped to see how it turned out.

Haha you bet! I was bouncing back and forth for a long time.

I'm out in Lubbock and the shop here is doing the whole set up for $300 and I wanted a magnaflow for the performance aspect of it (Seeing chuck's truck with a magnaflow and 400 rwhp with bolt ons helped with that decision). and at $300 it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a lot of set ups i've seen for order.

This guy does great work too. I'll have pictures maybe by lunch and i'll do some sound clips today or tomorrow as well.

Thanks man.... I plan on doing the whole thing stainless... That said i have yet to price it out but i think ill be close to the catback price. It will be hooked up to a set of American Racing Headers 1 7/8 with an ORY that are just sitting at home waiting for me.

Well, i couldnt take it...i installed my gibson metal mulisha cat back on saturday, and i just re-installed my factory exhaust...truck was running and shifting really strange and was constantly trying to stay in v4 mode...had to drive across town today and it shifted to quick in lower gears and held to long in higher gears when id hit an open stretch of road...im gonna contact hhp in houston and see what options they have,but im in so ill so a trip for a dyno tune is out...maybe a programmer, eliminate v4 mode and try it again later...it sure did sound good though under throttle and at idle..best sounding exhaust ive heard on a small block...just not enough back pressure with the 4" catback without some tuning.

If you don't mind, please let us know how it turns out and how good his mail order tunes are!

 

Good luck! I'd love to hear that exhaust! I'm loving my new set up so far!

Well I don't have a ton to post but I got a couple clips for you.

 

 

 

 

 

Headphones give the most accurate tone for the exhaust, but the first video from inside the cab, they make it sound a lot louder than it actually is.

It sounds killer when you get on it. Cruising at 65 yesterday I couldn't hear it with the radio on.

And V4 mode really isn't bad at all.

 

And it may just be a convenient coincidence, but my 25mile mpg avg went up almost 3 mpg already with typical driving in the city i do almost every day.

I'll let you know if that holds true.

Yup... He has sold it and has a 2015 denali 6.2 now.

 

He had an 18" magnaflow 3" muffler with the exit done in 4" to a 5" tip

Tell me about it.... It was a custom grind cam from KHP in the RGV and tuned by Tellez Motorsports.

 

Its all the rage in the valley.... Custom grind cams just for the sound. Tbh.... Thats why i want it too.... Just reliability on these DI engines with a cam is my main concern.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
