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.

So I got this bad boys in today;

I was wanting to get the complete Corsa cat-back. but $1k for a catback was very steep, and I don't want to invest too much money in my truck. So I plan on getting these welded on along with removing the resonator, valve, and installing either an 18" or 14" Magnaflow. I saw both videos Luster posted of his 22" and then 14" and they both sound good. I think the 14" might be a bit too loud for me and a guy a few pages back did a video for the 18" and really liked how that sounded.

 

Wow! I should have sprung for the extra $52. Nice tips. (don't say that to a woman.)

haha, I swung by my local muffler shop today after work and they are bringing in a 18" Magnaflow muffler in tomorrow. If I get out of work early enough tomorrow they will knock it out then. If not I already scheduled to be there first thing Saturday morning. I'll make sure and post pictures and videos of it then.

I'll be doing a similar setup to Lusters; removing the existing muffler and resonator along with the valve that sits right behind the muffler. Then installing the 18" muffler and having them weld on the Corsa tip. So it'll be a single side exit exhaust.

Can anyone on here recommend a good shop in the southern wv area? I've had a lot of work done on previous trucks, but it was all done a few hours north of here before I moved. I'd rather drive a few miles than a few hours lol.

I did the same, and will be cutting the resonator out this weekend. It is a tad deeper inside the cab but virtually silent outside. I wound up leaving the flapper in just in case I had drone and had to close it.

Just installed a Flowmaster 40 Series with dual tips and single side exit on a 2015 6.2l Denali

 

 

Did you get rid of your resonator?

-SkeetGuess you will have to do what I did and go online for muffler and exhaust shops . A good one may have web site showing their work. Maybe contact a dealer or mechanic

So finally got my exhaust done. Went with an 18" Magnaflow Muffler, removed resonator, and valve. Sounds great and those Corsa tips are a beauty.

All work was done at Bill the Muffler King in Dallas, Tx. Fantastic worksmanship and quality. I'll post videos tomorrow once I wash it.

Clamped the valve open and it sounds much better at idle. I am going to see if it changes anything at speed and if not then I will dump it at the axle.

I have a question for members here who have modified their OEM exhaust, and installed duals...

 

Do the 2014 K1500 (GMC or Chevy) trucks include factory frame bracket points on the left side for installing and hanging left side dual exhaust piping?

 

I am considering the installation of dual exhaust but don't want to if I have to use aftermarket type universal hangers.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
