please advise on drone and chopper!

I have the 14" Magnaflow, i also cut out my third cat and ran 3" pipe rather than the stock pipe all the way out the back.

 

The drone is almost not noticeable at highway speeds. Once you get to 75+ it gets a tad louder, but not much. With the radio on, i can't hear it.

 

As for the chopper, it's there... but i dont think it's bad. It is worst at around 40mph in my experience. But once again, with the radio on I can't hear it.

 

The cabs of these new body trucks are incredibly quiet, so if you don't want to hear it... turn the radio on. My old 2008, i didn't have that option as it was always loud. But this magnaflow exhaust is so much better than the flowmasters I had before for daily driving. It's aggressive when accelerating, but it calms right down when you start cruising. I would highly recommend the set up I have as it sounds better all around and flows much better. I've gotten an increase in MPG since I'e had the exhaust, and it kicks into v4 more often than it used to, since I have larger 10-ply tires, which leads me to believe it's able to breathe and function better than before.

Reply from Volant when asked about the sound of their exhaust vs corsa.

 

 

" Similar exhaust to dB by CORSA. TMG bought CORSA in '09 and Volant in '13 so all our exhaust is made under the same roof. Old Volant used to have an exhaust program but this new line is similar to the dB."

Appreciate the help. I went ahead and ordered it last night. Can't wait to get it on and hear it.

Just curious if you received your exhaust yet and if you like it?

Not yet unfortunately. I was expecting to have it by now. It's been on back order for a while. Supposed to ship the 12th I guess, but we'll see.

finally got a couple videos up, really sorry for it not being amazing quality, definitely going to want to listen on the computer or with headphones haha.

 

 

So this Corsa/Volant is very interesting. I listened to both idle clips and sounds great. Any in cab videos v4 and v8 mode, windows up/down, wide open throttle etc?

 

Edit: I found one in cab following your youtube account. Found one other video on a Sierra.

Oh ok glad you found it. I'm not sure if you could tell V8-V4 switch in that clip. You can definitely hear it switch back and forth. So I just drive M5 in the city and just throw it back in drive or up to M6 on the highway to still utilize the V4. The V4 doesn't bother me nearly as much on the highway cruising. In the city stop and go the constant switch back and forth drives me crazy, plus I imagine it sounds like extra garbage from the outside haha

Yeah this one right? I never saw it switch on the dash or could tell a difference. Think I would just do the same if it bothered me and hold it in M5.

Looking to do a Flowmaster (thinking Delta 40) on my truck. Did a search and looked through the forum, but didn't see the info I was looking for.

 

Truck is a 2015 Sierra Crew 4x4 1500 5.3 short bed.

 

The stock muffler is center in, but I'm wondering what the out offset is.

 

Also, anyone have this truck with the Delta 40? Thoughts?

 

I had a 50 performance on my last truck, but I was thinking of going a little louder, different.

 

Thanks in advance people.

Unless you like to listen to a helicopter chasing you down the road while in V4 then leave it stock or tune out V4.

Sorry yeah I didn't catch it in that video, I had meant you can definitely hear it in person in the cab

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
