I just bought my Magnaflow 11229. Should have it Wednesday and as soon as I get the chance I'll have it put on and report back. I'm for sure going to cut the resonator, and flapper. I might cut the 3rd cat out too. Depends on how much crap the guy gives me.

I just ordered the Magnaflow cat back exhaust part# 15318 for the 6.2L this is the single 3.5 inch side exit. I installed a Volant CIA over the weekend and their is allot more noise coming from the engine compartment so I am hoping the Magnaflow exhaust will even the sound out. I had the Volant CAI on my 2009 6.2L Sierra and it was not as loud as the 2014 sounds, but you could actually hear the exhaust on my 2009 the 2014 exhaust is silent. I will post the results after the install.

I am interested to know what it sounds like.....I also didn't think the #15318 Magnaflow was out yet?

Just talked to Corsa and the new exhaust should be ready at the end of April and will be 3.5 inches and possibly 3rd cat delete. I've had my truck for a week and have put 500 miles on it through highway and farm land. This exhaust I am highly disappointed in it. My 2010 Denali had alot nicer rumble stock. 3 cats and a muffler and silencer is a little much on a exhaust system.

Well after looking around the net for the last few weeks and talking to different people I decided to pull the trigger on the Borla cat-back system part #140537. It is the dual rear exit with the ATAK muffler. I was on the fence between this and the Corsa cat-back but decided to go this route to have a more aggressive exhaust tone.

 

Edit: Had to cancel my order this afternoon since they decided to push back the ship date from 3-21 to 4-25 in less than 12 hours.

I just ordered the flowmaster cat back system with the 50 series muffler. My buddy just placed a 50 series on his 2012 avalanche and removed the resonator. After hearing his I was pretty happy with the sound. It has a nice rumble on the outside and on the inside. It is a nice deep clean sound with no popping or raspiness you get with some straight threw mufflers. When it is in 4 cyl mode it gets slightly louder. When you give it some gas in 4cyl mode it almost gets to the point it wants to drone but then shifts into 8 cyl mode. So the mount of gas it takes to make the 50 series drone in 4 cyl mode will make the truck shift out. Will update how it turns out on my 2014 Sierra.

About $500 and yes the piping is aluminized. I also went with the 18" think the cat back is 22". I'm not independently weathy, so $500+ in my pocket is a big win in my book.

 

mzodarg,

 

I read all your posts and I want to the same thing, MagnaFlow 18" one in / two out for the 5.3. I read that you removed the flapper valve and the resonator. Did they also remove the 3rd Cat way in the back? Was that put back on? Your sound is perfect!

Are you referring to the resonator way in the back? the 3rd cat is just after the Y-pipe and before the Muffler.

Can the third Cat really be removed without affecting anything? Why is it even there then?

Yes, it can be removed without having any negative effect unless you live in CA, Its my understand that the 3rd CAT makes our vehicles California Compliant, which God knows that I want nothing more than to be California CARB compliant! Hell, I'm from Oklahoma, half of us would be just fine with straight pipes sticking straight up out of the hood.hoodstack026.jpg

Today I was at my GMC dealership and listened to a 2014 5.3L with the Magnaflow catback exhaust duals out the back, it sounds awesome so I'm hoping the Magnaflow exhaust I have on order for my 6.2L sounds just as good or better. The 5.3 system had no resonator the one I'm getting does have a resonator.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
