Added one 12inch Pioneer subwoofer and a 1600 watt amp. The amp is my old one from my avalanche. Just the right amount of bass without it being TOO crazy.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Got an electric exhaust cut out today. Impulse buy and I'm glad I did it. Great little mod. Almost like a straight pipe on demand [emoji57] I have been loving this thing all afternoon

You have to cut a hole in the exhaust pipes and just weld it in. Not hard if you have the tools and know how I suppose. But I don't have the tools, nor have I ever welded, so I can't give you a true "this is how hard it is" opinion. I had the muffler shop I got it at install it. Took them about an hour to an hour and 15 mins from the time i handed them the keys to the time I got w call saying it was ready.

Install and cut out ran me $325 ($355.xx after tax) and that's with me running the wires. I told them I'd rather do that part myself so that I can have it exactly how I want it (also saved me $75 + tax)

I'll get you the model and brand in the AM. The shop stopped selling cut outs for a while cause the last brand they sold kept having issues but they found this one and have been selling them for around 2-2.5 years now and no one has come in with a single issue yet

I'd love to hear how it sounds. Any video clips yet? Also, how far up the line dis you have it put in? I had a new muffler put it with sidelet, but the shop wouldn't cut any cats out. Said they could lose their license if they did, pansies.

I really meant to ask the shop to put it before the second cat, that way the sensors in the first wouldn't freak out every time I have it open, but it slipped my mind and they put it right around midway between the second cat and the muffler.

I have a couple videos but they do no justice.

I'm trying to find a good place to have a friend video me driving by and acceleration from a dead stop with it both open and closed.

The sensors shouldn't freak out right? So long as it's downstream all it will see is a little less backpressure. As far as I knew they were just worried about AFR and bad particulate unburned from the cats. All that should still be the same. Not an emissions expert, just my understanding.

I'd be real interested in this if it doesn't affect the sensors anyway. I want mine to sound more better too. My muffler new muffler still has a flapper and almost shouldn't qualify as being more than stock :(

It doesn't affect the sensors, sorry, I should've mentioned that I originally really wanted to put the cut out before the first cat, that way it's straight exhaust, the loudest it could possibly be, cause you know, sometimes you want the loudest possible haha. But then the first cat sensors would've freaked whenever it was open. If you put it anywhere after the first cat then nothing will freak out except for you the first time you hear how good it sounds [emoji41]

 

I was really happy with my 18" magnaflow (removed flapper) but now, I realize i just thought I was happy, I'm driving with the cut out open more than I thought I would haha

The ride is much better then it was with the 2" RC lift. I find it even better then it was stock…

      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.
