Do you only have the drone in V4 mode? Or does it carry over to V8 also?

V4 only. It sounds beast in V8. Especially when you're in the gas hard. The tone is leaps and bounds better than a flowmaster. Never had Corsa or Borla so cant comment on those.

 

The magnaflow sounds killer on startup too.

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

How bad is the dropoff in fuel mileage with AFM delete?

Haha... I don't know... maybe it's because that B&B Fusion exhaust on my Vette is so dang loud; it's like being in a war zone! It makes the truck sound like a quiet breeze by comparison! :lol:

 

I have the 22" Magnaflow with valve and rez delete. At first I thought it was too quiet, but it's getting a little louder with some miles and I'm liking it more every day.

I have the 18" Magnaflow 12288 and am going to change to the 22" 12588 next week. Too much drone and the 18" is just too loud for me. I'm hoping it will make it a fare bit more quiet but not too sure if just going with a larger muffler will do it. I might be better off putting in two resonators? Don't know. Any suggestions would help at this point.

OK, here's my 22" Magnaflow with Flapper & Rez delete. Headphones for most accurate sound.

Do you have dual out one side? I wonder if it would sound any different coming out behind each wheel? Maybe less loud?

Good sound to go with the looks. Nice truck Luster. Tomorrow I am having the muffler shop move my exhaust to rear of tire in factory location but he is gonna have the tips flush with underbody tucked up tight and contour to the curve of the lower quarter panel. I will post pics tomorrow afternoon.

It's actually just a single exit behind the passenger rear wheel, but the tip is split into two 4" outlets... I really don't know how the sound quality would be for duals vs. single.

So the 14" magnaflow is plenty loud with the 3rd converter left intact, so gonna keep it like that. However, not fully sold on the location of the tips. Opinions? Leave it where it is or move it to exit behind rear tire in stock locstion?

The 5.3L doesn't have a 3" inlet, does it?

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.

      Actual Full Screen CarPlay on Refreshed Silverado/Sierras.

      By Greg3160 · Posted

      Im in the same boat. Carlink adapter comes tomorrow and dev account is in process. Would you he able to send the new instructions my way also? Question, do you have to change code and republish app everytime developer updates? Thanks for your assistance, truly the only thing i cant stand about my truck is the carplay limitation

      Weight limit in bed

      By rav3 · Posted

      And Google AI says......... Yes, your truck can technically handle it, but you will be right at or near its maximum limit. A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with a 6.5-foot bed has a maximum payload capacity of approximately 1,770 pounds.Weight RealitiesLoad weight: Half a cord of dry hardwood weighs roughly 1,100 to 1,500 pounds depending on the wood type (like oak or hickory).Payload limit: Payload includes the weight of the wood, you, any passengers, and a full tank of gas.The math: If you weigh 200 pounds and have a full tank of gas, a 1,500-pound load of wood puts you right at that 1,770-pound ceiling.Safety TipsCheck the yellow and white sticker on your driver-side door jamb for your truck's exact payload number, as high-end luxury trims with extra features have slightly lower capacities than basic trucks.Expect the rear end to sag noticeably.Drive carefully, avoid sudden turns or stops, and keep speeds low if you have to travel a distance.
