Here is better video to audibly demonstrate the low freq rumble of my recently installed Flowmaster Super 50 Series Dual exhaust system.

 

The OEM Flapper was retained (similar to the Borla/GM) system. This is a 6.2.

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

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 did you retain the flapper?

cut it off the stock system and reinserted it upstream of the Flowmaster.

Finally got my exhaust on. 2.25" piping from the cats back to a flowmaster 2.5 x-pipe, piped to a flowmaster dual in-out muffler, then piped off passed the tires at a 90.

Well I ordered my Borla XR-1 (15 inch case)! Should be here tomorrow! I might've messed up though, I got the 3.5" in/out... So the exhaust shop might have fun mounting it up. I plan to leave the resonator in place and probably remove the flapper.

Leave both the flapper and the resonator.

From what I've read on here, leaving the resonator will make the exhaust a lot quieter than without no matter what muffler it put in place. I had everything from the muffler back removed on mine and it sounds great. Even though I don't mind the V4 drone, sometime down the line I may have a flapper valve added to the front of the muffler and see how much that helps the drone. I have dual out so that's why I may put it in front of the muffler. I know a couple people on here did that.

I regret removing mine.

The only reason I didn't say anything to them about it when I had the exhaust done was because honestly I hadn't had the truck that long and didn't even know there was a flapper valve there to help with the V4 drone. I thought nothing of it since with factory exhaust you can't tell what mode it's in unless you look at the dash.

My wife drove my truck yesterday, and I was standing at the front door watching her drive up the street (she has learned to use the throttle well!).

 

I gotta tell ya: That 14" Magnaflow sounds BadAss!

 

You get used to the sound inside the truck, but from outside, sounds MUCH better, more aggressive.

 

Just confirmed my choice of the Magnaflow. Glad I did it. :P

Love mine, but the drone isn't something I can tolerate for long.

I'm one of the rare breed that love the drone....

I've made a video, but it's not a very good one, non-conclusive. I'm planning to make another one.

 

I did the 14" Magnaflow with flapper and resonator delete, not a cat-back. I'll post a new video/audio clip in a day or two.

I think I've decided I'm going with an 18" or maybe 14" magnaflow or the flow master super 44. I have about a 30 minute commute on the interstate to and from work. If the drone becomes an annoyance and something that my music won't tune it out, is the flapper easily added back in post-install? I like hearing the exhaust rumble and am looking for something loud/mean and aggressive. I don't know what the v4 will sound like in person as I've never had a vehicle with some type of AFM. The vids on here are nice, but I'm sure they are like anything else, they are a little different in person. I've got the 5.3 so I want to hear the 5.3 lol.

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.
