Never messed with the oem exhaust flaps. That all got removed when I did my Gibson dual sport cat back

i am currently in between removing the resonator/flaps and installing a magnaflow 12909 or just getting the gibson cat back.

I just recently installed a Borla ATAK system on my truck. Loud cold start which tones down a little when warm. No drone. Has a helicopter sound in 4cylinder mode but going to tune that out. 600e62b41df953bbc9200d74536f0213.jpg

Just put on a flow master flowFX cat back on my 2016 Sierra. Sounds good!


 
any video of it? I’m stuck between the flowfx, force 2 and Magnaflow cat back.
want quiet for my 6 month old but loud enough to know I got 8 cylinders somewhere.

I do have a video but I can’t post it. I have a wife and 3 yo and it’s quiet when your cruising and rumbles when you step on the gas. It won’t be too loud. I was looking at the borla touring and that’s what I wanted but it’s almost 3x the money. For me, very few things I buy I am happy with. But I’m happy with this. Makes me smile every time I fire it up. I’d pull the trigger man! I know they are back ordered, took me over a month to get mine.

Excellent! Glad to hear it’s working for you! Would the wife notice if this was a surprise birthday present to myself? 
 

Did you disable AFM? If not how does that sound? 
 

Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it.

Yeah she would! I had it in the garage when I fired it up the first time and she texted me "Thats rediculous"... ha ha. If I can figure out how to post video or audio clips here I will. Cold start its at its loudest then its quieter after that. and honestly after driving it for a while sometimes I wish it was a tad louder.  I do have the Range AFM disabler (which I really like and would recommend) to remove the 4 cyl mode and I have driven it with and without the AFM disabler in it. its not too bad in 4 cyl mode, sounds a little funny but if 4cyl is activated its at a quiet point anyway so its not that noticeable.

Here is a video of a start with flowFX. It’s not a cold start. But now that I know how maybe I will post one. Video doesn’t do it justice

That sounds awesome! You just made my decision for me. If the wife doesn’t like it, I got it for free from a guy at work! ?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
