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.

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.

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

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.

      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.
