Were there any issues installing the exhaust hanger on the drivers side with the ATAK system?  Seems like the class III hitch might interfere.  This pic is from my 2018 Sierra.

Not at all, they have a hanger that is provided in the kit that bolts up using the hitch receiver hardware. Just make sure you torque it back down to the hitch receiver specs. I would post a picture but unfortunately my truck is in the body shop. During the most recent snow storm a plow took out the passenger side bed side and rear bumper.

So the hanger will fit in between those two metal parts of the hitch?  Every time I see an install on you tube, it’s for a truck without an OEM hitch from the factory.

Yes, I took the nut and washer off the bolt that is closer to the wheel well and slid the bracket on. I did not have to remove the hitch receiver, it slid right on then torqued it back down.

Quoting myself but...

 

I love the sound of this exhaust except at 1800-2000 RPMs, for some reason in that spot I get a drone, not horrible but certainly noticeable ?

that means that if I am getting up to speed at a slower pace to conserve fuel it hits that RPM range in a couple different gears.

 

Stock exhaust has resonator after muffler, would installing one after the muffler tone down the drone at all?

If so, any recommendations?

Following up, 

 

I added a Vibrant 1794 in the stock resonator location and it made a huge difference in the drone at 2k while smoothing out the entire range of sound.

For me it seems about perfect, I have a highway trip this weekend so we will see how it sounds @ 75mph for and extended period.

 

Now, if I could just keep my foot out of it so get my mpg's up ?

Good evening. Looking for some

help as I thought I ordered the correct sizing but reading more looks like I ordered too small. I bought a 2.5” I/O Flowmaster FlowFx to do a muffler only replacement. It looks like many people are doing 3” but I see also a lot are doing 2.5” out for duals. My question is if my 2.5” I/O will work or not?

Stock 5.3 = 3” and stock 6.2 = 3.5” so nope, 2.5” is no good. You have to change exhaust from manifold back or y-pipe back for it to work.

 5.3 is actually 2.75” from Y-pipe connection to tail pipe. You’ll need 3”-2.75” reducers, have the factory pipe expanded, or have the muffler welded on if your just doing a 3” muffler swap. Walker also makes a 3” stainless intermediate pipe (pn 55608) that will work on these trucks.

recently purchased a 2016 5.3 with a 12" glass pack and turn down. NOT keeping that setup!

 

from looking under the truck, it appears they welded the glass pack on where the stock muffler was removed.

 

looking for suggestions on which exhaust system, cat back i'm thinking, would be nice and quiet in the cab.

TSP headers and y pipe with stock resonator (as a muffler) and the boom tube tip. Absolutely love this setup and hopefully soon can learn to weld a stainless 3.5" or 4" setup.

Just bought some TSP long tube headers with catless ypipe (so they said but look more like speed engineering) to go with my Corsa Performance Exhaust hope it sounds good, exhaust is for a 6.2 kinda like this setup because the ypipe has a swapable end for 5.3 or 6.2 bought this used so let’s hope this was worth it!!!

Are you sure those are TSPs? Mine have ball flanges and didn’t turn that color. May just be an earlier version. Corsa will sound badass but it’s going to be loud AF.

They look more like Speed Engineering to me. I’ve heard good things about them but hopefully he didn’t try to sell you something for more then he paid new.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
