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

I can't find the post but read on here where you can bolt open the flapper. Anyone know how or what's needed?

Thanks

I used a hose clamp. About 2 inch diameter or so. Just turn it and clamp it tight. Don't turn it the wrong direction.

I wanted to buy a borla atak exhaust but before buying it I decided to cut my muffler off and hollow out the 3rd cat, and honestly it sounds just as good right now as a 1500$ exhaust would sound

I have the 22" Magnaflow with the resonator removed and looking for just a little more sound and keep a deep tone to it. Does anyone know if a flapper delete will change sound.? I hose clamped it open but wasn't 100% sure it was wide open since you can't see it but it did sound a little louder.

any feedback appreciated.

Look into the metal mulisha exhaust. It is probably the loudest catback you can get for these trucks or you can copy the idea behind it. The muffler is 3" inlet and the tailpipe is 4" into a 6" tip so it amplifies the sound to make it louder like a megaphone.

I have the metal muslisha exhaust on my 2014 and it's loud and deep sounding. The six inch exhaust tip grew on me after a while.

I had the 22" Magnaflow on my '14 Silverado. It was the first mod. Complete waste of money. Sounded like a Prius.

 

After that:

 

14" Magnaflow - not much louder

Flowmaster 40 - a little better

Flowmaster 10 - having it installed today.

 

Can't stand a quiet V8. Just not right.

 

 

EDIT: Just got back from the exhaust shop. He ordered the wrong muffler. I'll have to bump it to next week.

Hopefully he kept that 22" MagnaFlow around for when he does.

With all the money I've spent on Muff's, I could have had a nice set of LTH's!!! :lol:

My Vette has Kook's long tubes, 3" exhaust and B&B Exhaust. The only thing louder is open headers.

 

I can handle loud, just can't handle quiet..... :nonod:

And yet this man still hasn't just gone to open headers and worked his way down [emoji849]

I just put a 22" Magnaflow on my 2015 Sierra and had the flapper removed but left the resonator. Actually very disappointed! I've read on one of these threads where someone had the same setup and then removed the resonator "and it woke up the exhaust". If I remember correctly, that person eventually went to a shorter Magnaflow for more sound. I'm on the fence of just cutting the resonator off with my 22" setup or installing an 18" today and removing the resonator. Question: are you getting any of the "chopper effect" from removing the res with the 22"?

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
