Got my MBRP kit today for my 2015 double cab's 6.2. I will probably toss the third cat if I can and or just hollow the thing out as well as this exhaust. There is enough pipe in the kit I could probably delete that third one but I doubt its front connection is the same as the rear thus I would have to go somewhere and get it welded. If that be the case, gutting will suffice. It should sound good I am thinking either way.

Just wrapped up my exhaust. Truck is a 2015 RCSB 5.3

 

Kooks 1 7/8"

Kooks 3 to 3 1/2" catless y-pipe for a 6.2

MBRP 3 1/2" 6.2 cat back modified to fit a RCSB

 

Here is a vid of a cold start.
I will get a vid of a warm start and warm idle. Once the engine warms up the timing changes and makes a very noticeable difference. Gets much quieter and deeper.

The mic on my phone cannot pic up the full definition of the exhaust note.

Really think Im going to have to go with a Magnaflow 14" muffler...

 

I cant stand the chopper sound, so I guess Ill delete the resonator but leave the flapper.

You'll really like it. That's what I have and I love it. Had the 18" as well, but the 14" was a little louder and sounded meaner. No noticeable difference in sound from inside the cab tho. Check out my video though. If you use good headphones or speakers, you can hear the V4 drone. You can hear it, but after a while you really don't even notice it anymore. I would also highly suggest removing the flapper. If you don't it will take a good amount of sound away.

Do you have a good amount of the chopper noise? Although seeing you have a tune Im assuming you have the AFM turned off (yet in video you show it still has the V4 mode). Thoughts?

 

I plan to do the muffler and tune here in coming months, so I guess its best to do the muffler (and flapper) and soon after the tune, and just go ahead and turn off the AFM. I just cant stand the chopper noise!

I actually just got my tuner a few weeks ago. I've had the exhaust for 3-4 months now. I personally am not a fan of the chopper noise so to eliminate that just drive in M5. You truck will still shift from 1-5 on its own, but all this does is lockout 6th gear. By doing this the AFM will not kick on, therefore no drone. You'll notice towards the end of the video when I state V4 comes on, I shift up from M5 to D.

 

***EDIT - I just noticed you've got a 15 denali so my guess is you have the 8 speed. If that's the case, use same method, just shift to M7. I drove around using M5 from the day I got it installed to the day I got my tune. No harm no foul.

Are any of you using a dual in/dual out Magnaflow? If so, what size? Also, is there a difference in the amount of drone you get from those vs. single in/dual out when the AFM kicks in?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
