Does anyone know if the drone exists, or is as bad, with the V6 after installing a new system? I'd like to get a system and forget about the flapper but it seems everyone refers to experience with the V8....

I have a flowmaster 40series single in single out on my v6, the flapper and old muffler were deleted everything else stayed. Just a very slight drone and is not super loud.

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.

I don't think staying stock is possible once you join a forum lol

 

That's why I steer clear of threads where people talk about their wives/gfs. I don't need that sort of temptation, I'm quite conent with what I have now.

I knew you couldn't resist...

Yeah, I know. I saw my son's 2010 Silvy with the Corsa yesterday and heard it again...and then I was looking at mine again while fixing one of the LEDs on my AMP PowerSteps...big muffler, flapper, resonator...and then AutoAnything kept sending me emails about sales! And then they price matched...and I'm using the Range AFM delete...and then I rode in wife's T/A with Corsa and that nice sound at 80 mph...too much pressure...haha (no more excuses...)

Couldn't take it any more...?

Has anyone moved the flapper upstream/before the muffler and delete resonator?

Not sure why anyone would go through the hassle and cost to do this. It would sound pretty close to stock. Just clamp open the flapper valve or get it removed. The difference it makes is noticeable but not anywhere near being too loud.

My truck is a great example of that lol

 

Hell, I'm doing some painting for it right now[emoji23]

The last vehicle I did any mods too was 2003, I buy this truck, I said I wasn't going to mod it, those days are gone. I join this forum, and bam FML lol

Hey guys I have a question for re doing the entire exhaust system

 

I'm looking to redo everything with larger tubing,long tube headers and catback with the most aggressive sound and best performance possible. What product/combos would you recommend? (Sites would be handy but keep in mind I live in canada). Also a recommendation on a good high flow catalytic converter would be great.

 

Right now I have a stock exhaust with the stock muffler replaced with a flow master super 10 and love it but live in a salty area and am looking to replace everything I can with stainless steel parts for help with rust.

 

 

I have a short bed 2014 silverado z71 with the 5.3

 

 

(I am aware this may have already come up but I don't wanna read 80 pages of comments)

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?

Corsa installed !d80d094965e7a8803205b0c9d1f6c01f.jpg

How do you like the Corsa so far? What kind did you get, Sport or Xtreme? I'm looking into them, and I'm liking them more than the Borla alternative.

 

How's cruising with it? I want something that'll be more aggressive when accelerating and idling, but for the amount I drive, I still want to be able to not go insane. Guess I'm too picky.

Kind of hesitant to admit it bout I bought the DBL cab V6. It does everything I need and it's feels a lot better than I thought it would. Any suggestions on an exhaust or will they all sound cheap at higher RPM's? I've seen videos and they sound good at idle but I'm not sold on how will sound in V4 mode or even V6 at higher RPM's...... That in advance fellas. (I've had fully loaded V8's in the past but didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash this go around. I have a few other irons in the fire at the moment.....)

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
