I have the v6 with a flowmaster super 40 but still have the resonator, no floppy valve, you think if I remove the resonator I'll get a deeper growl? What about drone? I know v6 :-( lol

 

Resonator will definitely make it louder, probably deeper as well. The resonator is very restrictive. It will give you more drone, but its not going to make a huge difference with it removed. I say remove it and give it a shot

 

I'm tossing around the idea of a 22" or 18" today. if I find one in town I'll report back on which way I went

 

22" sounds exactly like stock, just a little deeper. 18" is nice. I had that one before the 14" I have now. I have a startup video and an incab I can upload for you. Sounds very similar to the 14", just a little quieter and not as aggressive of a tone. I'll upload it real quick so you can check it out.

Yeah, I'm mostly worried about the sound when I'm dragging a 7600# trailer around. Many exhausts sound good until you put a constant load on them... That is when the sound makes me wanna burn my face off.

 

I can stand Flowmaster 10's dumped in a bar hopper, midnight drag type of vehicle but traveling 20 hours straight pulling weight you tend to be a little more picky.

My guess is you'd really like the 18" then. Honestly the 22" is barely noticeable even at high rpm. You might hear a little hum, but not much more. 18" at high rpm you can hear it, but it's very subtle. Video is uploading now so I'll post it when Its done.

Here you go. Here's a startup and in-cab video of the 18" Magnaflow.

Sure is quiet! I tried getting sound of Magnaflow on 2012 and just got wind noise. It had low rumble at idle and muscle car sound when accelerating

Damn it...this is getting more and more confusing. I was set on doing the 18" Magnaflow SI/SO (P/N 11259) with resonator and flapper delete and RTP dual tips. But now after hearing Kerrslights 14" I'm second guessing my original plan. Is the 18" noticible in the cab or is it way too quiet?

I see that magnaflow has mufflers in a 4x9 oval or 5x8 oval. Is there any difference in sound between the two?

18" you can pretty much only hear under acceleration. Other than that it's pretty quiet. Nice tone, but not as loud or aggressive as 14". That's why I switched from 18 to 14. Very pleased with 14.

No sound difference. Just sized differently for different applications

Any recommendations on which size would be ideal for the silverado?

Check the part number I posted. That's the same one I got. As long as it's 3" I/O you'll be good

When looking straight on to the square on the flapper, do you rotate it counter clockwise to the open position?

      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.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
