I think it sounds pretty good at WOT.

 

But anyway, for those on the fence about what exhaust to get, consider this:

 

You can buy this exhaust for $330, and a Magnaflow muffler (for example) for another $100, and end up with a Magnaflow exhaust and save yourself $450, over the $900 Magnaflow system. Don't get me wrong, I REALLY like Magnaflow products, but their price for a cat-back is ridiculous considering you can buy the same thing for almost 1/3 of the price.

 

Exactly. I would really love to find a Corsa muffler to put in, but I don't know if they make any that are Center IN Offset Out. Everything I have seen from them is Center Center.

 

This is all you need to make any muffler with a shorter case work too.

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

Sig,this is true, but I am not sure how the metal quality is on the dynomax compared to the magnaflow system. And what is up with the exhaust tip on the dynomax kit? I also broke the clamp trying to put the thing on. It is slightly too large of a inlet diameter to fit over the tailpipe. The tip dynomax uses is made in China though so I guess that explains it.

I too broke the clamp on the tip.

Mine came with a pipe like that for use if you have the crew cab with regular bed. I have the short bed. So I kepnit for that very reason!!

Hello,

 

I'm new to the forum and I'm interested in a Borla system. I heard the GM Borla Catback in person today and though it was a nice sound, it really just had that "stock rumble" to it and I'm looking for something a little more aggressive. I am leaning towards the S-Type, but have concern about the drone. I don't know if the S-Type is the sound I want either, but I'm a little scared of the ATAK as I'm sure it has the most drone and longterm may be annoying. Does anyone run the S or ATAK?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Put the magnaflow on. Can finally hear the truck. Louder when idling and a good growl when accelerating

Nice which Magnaflow? Have any videos so we can hear it?

Has anyone install the cat back magnaflow 15268 MF system. I see some of you have installed just the muffler but i'm looking for reviews on the complete system. 950 includes polished exhaust tips. No flapper valve.

300+ cheaper then the GM Borla.

I found GM Borla $1050 minus tips GM Parts Direct ( Flow GM Auto Center ). I'm considering taking off the shop installed Magnaflow with cheap hangers and tips.

Alrighty, if I gathered the right info, to suit my needs for a louder rig. I need to cut the flapper and resonator out. Slap a magnaflow 14" (PN 12229) in. Then IMO 45 out to behind the rear passages tire to black tip Y. Anyone see any protenial problems?

 

Edit: take the stock muffler out as well....

Pretty much exactly what I plan on doing. 14" and add a dual 4" tip. No flapper or resonator. Should sound great!

That's what I had done. I with with a dual-walled 4" tip. Sounds great.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
