I'm looking into doing a catback exhaust system don't really want to hack the stock system up in case i want to go back at some point. Thinking about the Carven Exhaust kit with the progressive muffler anyone have experience with this setup or company?

I just got my Carven TR with carven 4" tip installed. I had them weld it in where the stock muffler was. I kept the resonator in and got rid of the flapper.

It sounds great i think, i like mine on the quieter side and this one is just right. It has a nice growl at startup and idle and when you get on it.

No drone but obviously you can tell there is an exhaust on when you are driving. I gotten used to is, first day i was like "ohh man, is this too  loud?" 

 

I did remove the flapper and in V4 mode it sounds like a military helicopter is following me haha soooo no V4 for me going forward.

 

Go for it, you will like it. The muffler shop guy was pleasantly surprised when he started it the truck up because the muffler looks like a ricer muffler that would go on a civic lol

5.3l with speed engineering longtubes and catless Y pipe though MBRP part# S5086AL
Aluminum 3.5” exhaust. Y pipe came with the adapter to run the 6.2l 3.5” ball flange. I just had to order the 3.5” ball clamp and chop down one of the pipes to make it fit my 2018 RCSB z71. Truck is filthy in the video. First day in like a week it hasn’t rained.

No real complaints with the headers at all for the price. I would upgrade the headers to y-pipe exhaust clamps. The ones that came with them had trouble sealing. I was going to order Texas speed headers and y pipe but at the time they were out of stock and had no eta on them. I only had a week to get all the go fast parts in so the shop could get my cam swap and bolt ons done while I was on vacation. Me being a Texas guy would have liked to support my Texas business but it just wouldn’t have worked for my time frame. I wouldn’t hesitate to use either one imo.

372/365 with no correction factor through factory cat back exhaust. Can’t remember cam specs. It’s a BTR boost cam spec’d out by the shop that did the work.

I'm looking at maybe the Borla Pro XS to replace my stock muffler.  My truck is a 2018 Silverado 5.3 w/just over 1K miles.  I just want a little more sound, hopefully deeper too.  I do not want a loud obnoxious exhaust.  Anyone know what Borla model # is for my truck?  If not, anyone know what size in/out I need, then I could research and find what model I need.  I looked under truck and it appears to be offset intake and center output and states reversible.  If it's 3" then maybe this is the one I want.  Borla Pro XS 40359 .  Thought I'd ask here before I order though since someone may know what I really need.

Thx in advance, Don

"I believe its 2.75" in and out"  Thanks SR16, I just home and measured the outside diameter of pipe in and out and measured 70mm which converts basically to 2.75".  According to the Borla website they do not sell the Pro XS in a 2.75".  I know little to nothing about exhaust changes.  Would it be normal for a exhaust shop to maybe use adapters to convert the 2.75" pipe to 3" in order to be able to use a muffler designed around 3"?

Any decent shop can make it work. Order a 3" and you should be good.

Negative. This is a 5.3 rcsb truck. This was a boosted cam swap with speed engineering headers through stock cat back exhaust. Didn’t have the 3.5” Mbrp on it before the dyno tuning.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
