Matt , I've been listening to your "2015 Silverado Jones turbine outside drive" video. Were you happy with the exhaust. Meaning it being a single out vs a dual exit. I know if I was to do this doing a single out would be a cheaper route. I figure 100 for the muffler and whatever for piping back and labor. Do you me asking what rough price that was? My thought would be to keep the flapper just to help on the v4 sound ...but not sure if it would totally defeat the purpose. Did you remove the flapper and if so is the v4 very noticeable? I drive in m4 or m5 unless I hit the highway so not worried about the back roads thanks

FWIW, I asked my exhaust guy about duals vs single. He said the Aero AT3030 would sound the same and it might be little louder if you did a single side dump.

$500 for labor, muffler and tips. I just paid cash so he did not give me a receipt. One shop quoted me $450 for the same work and another quoted me $700. This guy as done all my previous trucks and does amazing work so I decided to stick with him for the extra $50. The muffler runs about $100-$130 depending on where you get it.

5RWill the 40722 says it's a multi-core which means it has 4 different perforated tubes inside I believe.

Yeah. The 40086 is just one perforated tube straight through and the 40722 has 3 or 4 different size perforated tubes. You can google Borla multi-core mufflers for a better idea.

OK, I have given the 14" Magnaflow it's last chance..... still sounds like a Prius to me.

 

GONE.

 

I have now installed the FOURTH muffler on my 2014 Silverado and it's almost loud enough. I finally went with the Original Flowmaster 40, no flapper valve, deleted 3rd cat. Sounds pretty good, but still pretty quiet for my taste.

 

I guess the only way it's going to sound like a V8 should is long-tube headers. :drool:

 

FYI: For many of you, the Flow 40 will be too loud... for me, it's not loud enough.

 

The only time it sounds really good is with all the windows down and revving under a bridge. :lol:

 

(I'll post a sound-clip in a couple days).

 

Here's a cutaway pic... doesn't get much simpler that this:

One thing I have noticed about the K2 trucks is, they are 'quiet' no matter what the exhaust system is. IMO, the only 'loud' setup I have liked so far is the Stainless Works. It sounded like but not obnoxious straight piped, popping, crackling loud.

Did you get rid of your 3030 muffler?

Oh no, I love it!

No... my agreement with the shop is they keep the old muffler and I get a good price.

I agree 100%. The THREE cats have plenty of restriction to kill any decent sound! Edited by Luster

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
