Has anyone just removed the factory muffler, but left the flapper in place? I see people saying if you leave the flapper in it will sound stock, but I have a hard time believing that a loose fitting metal flap can do the job of a factory muffler just as well. I'm pretty close to just doing a muffler delete and leaving everything else stock. Makes the most sense to me if it gives me a nice growl when on the throttle, but keeps the V4 chopper to a minimum.

I just picked mine up today from the muffler shop. They did a true dual exhaust, with 2 single chamber flow master and 18" tips, I like it, sounds good 395ccd3e88a16556a817a0ba510a70cc.jpg60d1ac7300b7e8aa5400bc953c6787d9.jpg8660569e00190dd6d768da921b20bd02.jpg296ee87b056b2fec6297745b25c7c2c2.jpg189107b2ea5203211c08565013ed9fe7.jpg

Checked out some new trucks while at Dealership today. The White High Altitudes have Flowmaster with Double Wall tips. The dark Trucks are from an unknown company had Glass packs about the size of a Liter soda bottle, Y pipe split into skinny pipes with crinkled bends with tips that looked like soup cans. The Aluma coat was flaking off and rusting ,can't believe someone would install that junk on a new truck

None of these catbacks throw codes do they? I heard someone say that after they installed their catback, they didn't go into V4 as much...? I don't wanna mess with the way the truck is designed to run.

All that matters to the engine is cat forward.... unbolt the exhaust and beyond sounding like a demolition derby junker it will run the same. The only reason someone's 4 cylinder is less active is they are on the throttle listening to the truck lol.

Any particular reason you went under the hitch instead of beside it?

 

 

Fat fingered, and shot from the hip.

Removing just the muffler and leaving the flapper sounds good, you will like it

That's what I did but pulled the flapper later cause it started sticking and rattling. GM wouldn't warranty it cause I already chopped the muffler.

I removed the resonator too but the truck was too loud. (6.2) I enjoyed it around town but on the highway or with passengers it was too much. Manual downshift it sounded like a beast. I currently have no flapper and muffler and put back the resonator. Sounds good, would keep the flapper if it was working properly

I'm sorry if this has been asked in the previous 90+ pages, but is the GMPP Borla Sport muffler available to purchase as a standalone item?

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      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.
