Guys looking for some suggestions

 

I have a 6.2 and had the muffler chopped off almost a year ago. Left the resonator and flapper, and the sound was great. No drone, chopper sound etc

 

A few months later the flapper would act up and rattle like crazy very randomly. It drove me nuts, and more recently was getting a bit of a rattle for a few seconds at start up. Dealer won't warranty cause I've chopped the muffler

 

Anyway, had enough of it and wanted a new tip setup so took it into a shop a few days ago to have the tips done and flapper removed. They said removing the resonator wouldn't affect the sound much and needed to pull it to create the set up I wanted (two black tips side by side Corsa style) so I said fine

 

Picked up my truck alter that day and fired it up and its crazy loud, especially cold start. Its a bit too much. Piss off the neighborhood loud. For city driving its fine I could deal with it but I do lots of highway driving and the sound/more drone would be too much. Chopper sound isn't bad, but is there a little and the drone at some rpm ranges is worse

 

I'm looking for a muffler, probably Borla hoping to tone it down a bit and of course reduce possible drone. Any suggestions? I am also considering throwing the resonator back in where I chopped the muffler off originally to tone it down cause I think its a straight thru design and would fit. I should have paid for a cat back right off the bat but hoping I don't have to go that route now that I got new tips etc

 

What are thoughts or experience on throwing the resonator where the muffler was, or muffler recommendations. thanks

Any videos??

 

I did the exact same thing in my 6.2 and I'm wanting to go louder. Lol

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.

Hope this vid works. This is no muffler, flapper or resonator. I've since put the resonator back on, toned it down a bit.

There are definitely times when I miss it loud like this though haha

Has anybody tried out a Craven muffler? I found it while searching YouTube videos. There aren't many specific to 2014 or 2015 Silverados or Sierras, but they have a few videos of the older Gen's.

Has there been a diagram of the stock exhaust system posted anywhere? I done some searching around and haven't found one. Just trying to get a visual of it and where the different cats, mufflers, valves, etc. are all located.

Where would you install the X pipe? I thought there was a single pipe going into the muffler.

True duals.... From the headers all the way back.

 

I just domt want there to be a big loss in back pressure to where i will loose HP/TQ

Magnaflow 18" on 2014 sounds a lot different than the 2012 . The short stroke 4.8 Vortec sounded close to the older high revving 327/350 Chevys,the 2014 5.3 DFI seems under no stress at all with a mellow tone. Thinking of replacing 3.5"x18L Slash cut tips with 3" inch tips and adjust the pipes up a little. Gibson 15 deg. cut are the only 18" bolt on tips I could find.

Had it in my mind to go with another tip so first chance stopped by a Custom Muffler shop yesterday. After checking it out Mr.C said 3.5 tips looked good on type truck I have and other shop did a good job . Said really couldn't do any better unless wanted to change to side exit. So if it looks good to him looks good to me. But knowing me will want to change to a different setup in a year or two.

It will be a Turd with dual 3" dual pipes, you would be better off with a single 3" and Y-pipe and good headers and pacesetters are not good headers. Kooks or ARH's are top notch products.

The Best.... Thats Subjective and without getting into a Header war IMO I like ARH but Kooks and Stainless works I would not have an issue choosing either.

      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.
