Did anyone notice a change in the way they drive once you can "hear" your truck. I think I tend to be a bit more aggressive now.  Gotta watch that or Johnny Law will get me.

I think I actually drove much more conservative when I had my MBRP catback on my truck. I believe since I could hear it so much better it subconsciously made me think I was pushing harder on the gas pedal so I was always easing up on the gas.
That and the fact that i remote started my truck at a job as I was walking up to look out the window to see if it had snowed again... One of the guys I work for was parked next to me (passenger side where the exhaust exits) as I the truck roared to life he threw his hands up and jumped lol. Oops.. Didn't see him there. Couldn't help cracking up but I did feel bad.

No I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT with the 6.2L. Maybe I'm just getting old but I think its a bit too loud but the factory exhaust is ridiculously quiet, I can't hear it running from inside my house. I'm wondering if the gm performance exhaust by corsa would be quieter inside the cab because they tune the ANC with the exhaust. Its just an expensive price to pay if it's still too loud.

I have the GMPP Corsa 3.5" on my 2017 w/6.2, has a throaty sound when accelerating that I like to hear. At lower speeds around town it does have a little drone in 4 cylinder mode however I usually have my foot in it so it rarely sees 4 cyl mode.

What is this 4 cylinder mode you speak of? I have banished such things.

Mine will soon be banished as well. I've read the 2019's may have single cylinder mode...I bet that sounds good.

Hey Guys ,

New to this Forum but a long time member of the Corvette Forum. I have a 2017 Sierra "All Terrain" with the factory cat back option at the time. Its marketed by GM but I think its made by Corsa. I also added the "Twisted Steel" Y-Pipe that AFE makes with the high flow cats. It really woke the truck up and got rid of the flattened out part of the exhaust I can't stand. The problem is, after a couple of weeks, it has started to throw codes as the cats flow faster than the two O2 sensors are calibrated for. Initially I was told the truck wouldn't require a tune, but now it appears otherwise. I am not willing to trade my warranty for a tune as of yet. I am going to sell my slightly used Y-Pipe and return to stock. Has anybody else used that set-up and not experienced any issues?? Thanks in advance...........

What is this Sorcery you speak of? Blaspheme, I say! Seriously, how in blue blazes does that balance?

The cat back on the All Terrain made by TMG aka Corsa is the same I purchased through GMPP. I considered the AFE Y-pipe but was concerned it would likely throw codes and for $700+ I was not ready to take a chance that I'd have to purchase a tune as well voiding warranty. Post a sound clip if you don'y mind.

Blaspheme indeed, I'll need counseling the day I hear a V8 running on 1 cylinder....

NemesisC5,

 Hey aren't you on the Corvette Forum also? Name sounds very familiar.....As far as the sound clip goes, I have already removed the y-pipe and boxed it back up in its original box.  I would describe the sound with it on as being deeper and more performance oriented. It was loud on initial start up but after that it just sounded really good. Like I said earlier, it woke the truck up. The throttle response was better and it reached rpm much quicker. If you know anybody that might be interested, I am going to sell it for half of what I have in it. I am going to price it at $450 shipped. At most it has 2-300 miles on it. My user name on the Corvette Forum is SDF if you want to look me up. I have to have 50 posts on here before I can put it in the "For Sale" section. Thanks for the reply............

Yep that's me on CF. I have plans to modify exhaust pre-catback just not settled on which way I'm going, catted or no cats with CMR Diablo tune cats turned off. I frequent a few forums gathering intel, the hot topic going is GM's new 4.2L DOHC TT Caddy motor likely a precursor of what we'll see in GM's top performing cars and in time our trucks as well.

On that note, I had to bring the old girl to the stealer today and removed my Range AFM disabler beforehand thinking they might spot it. Sure enough, first thing they do is plug in, even though it did not need plugging in. Ha! can't catch me though! Range slips under the radar.

I think I'd find a new dealership! I would have rolled some heads if they were simply looking for a tune and it was unrelated to your service request.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
