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.

To my surprise, these engines are built pretty solid. Even trannys are holding up good under improved horsepower. Only thing I would recommend is if you go with some cams, do it right and get forged rods too. Might as well since you'll be in there. I think you'd be fine should you go that route.

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Holy cow! That sounds awesome!

 

I went with a tip that i thought was going to be more hidden than it is... I like it alright but i'm a little unsure about it, only because I haul around some expensive bikes and on a hitch rack i'm concerned that the pipe coming out the back would potentially be too close to the wheels and melt the carbon fiber on the wheels...

I am contemplating going to a 4 or 5" tip out the side similar to the one in the video. I like that look a lot.

I'm looking at changing out my muffler from the off-road one I had knztalled4. (Only 50$) to a Flowmaster. I can't chose between 50 series heavy duty and 50 series delta. Would anyone care to shed light?

There isn't much of a difference other than the heavy duty is more designed specifically for trucks... but from everything i've seen, dyno results included, the flowmaster is pretty restrictive because of the chambered muffler design.

Some of the mufflers people are talking about on here have more of a straight through design, giving much better flow through the entire RPM range.

 

FWIW I just got a 14" Magnaflow and love it.

I didn't want too much noise and would like some backpressure. Something just better quality

Go with either 18 or 22" magnaflow. Flow masters drone like crazy. Made that mistake once.

What model or series? I don't know much about magnaflow

Here's a sound clip of my truck when I had the 18" on there. It is not as aggressive or loud as the 14" I have on there now and is very pleasant at highway speeds and normal driving. The part number for this is in the info on the youtube video.

 

 

 

This isn't my truck, but here's 22" magnaflow. Very tame. Might just be what your looking for.

Try playing it through your truck speakers

Word that's a good idea

I've got a good video of my 14" too on my youtube channel.

I'm gonna put a video of mine on YouTube and compare thru the speakers to get the best comparison

Does the GM borla sound as good as the magnaflow? Wish they were done with the same camera on YouTube. Hard to tell a difference

Someone else can chime in on this as I don't have Borla, but I know its a very high quality kit and comes with a price. In my somewhat extensive research to find just what I was looking for, my findings on Borla was that while it sounded great, it wasn't the tone I was looking for or loud enough for my taste. They might have different sizes, I can't remember. When I was at the shop waiting to have my muffler welded on, they were putting a full stainless borla system on a 2015 Yukon Denali. I heard it when they were finished and it had a nice deep tone, but just wasn't all that loud.

 

So to really answer your question, in my research I think the 18" mangnaflow and Borla sound very similar. I think the magnaflow is a little louder. 14" magnaflow is definitely more aggressive and louder than Borla.

 

Hope this helps in some way.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
