Ordered my Airraid MIT as well as set up an appt to have my exhaust done. Just going with a muffler swap to a magnaflow to get a little more tone out of the truck. Not wanting anything to aggressive just a little rumble under full throttle. Now the agonizing wait!!!!

Pics and sound clip of the exhaust when finished please, been thinking about doing this for a while. Local shop quoted me $220 for a muffler swap and cut out the resonator

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.

I was quoted 220 as well. I have not decided if I am going to take the rear resonator out or not. May have if install the muffler test it out and see how loud it is. If it is too quiet I will remove the rear resonator. I plan to keep the flapper valve in to keep the v4 drone out. I have read on here that that is the best way to go but all a matter of personal taste. I have a 2008 sierra denali with the 6.2 that was supercharged with flowmaster 50 series on that sounded good but could get a little annoying after a while so wanted to look at something a little quieter.

I had read several on the forum and watched a couple of YouTube videos showing many have just removed the muffler, left the resonator and added a section of 409 type pipe in place of the muffler. On the videos it sounded good and the cost for most was between $60 and $80. May not be the sound you are looking for but from what I heard quiet in normal driving but more aggressive when you would want it.

Good idea. I don't think I'll keep the flapper on considering I tuned afm out. My intake makes the truck sound nasty as it is, I just want sound that will actually be heard on the street and not just in the cab haha

I'm not freaked out at all I just practice gun safety. My firearms are always in a holster or locked in a safe place unloaded. There's no in-between when it comes to firearms. Safety is the #1 concern 24/7.

If you don't have one in the chamber what's the point. That's one more action one has to complete to possibly give the bad guy an advantage. Gotta keep it locked and loaded!

Let me know how that muffler swap goes especially with the new intake tube set up!

I would like to hear this when you have the exhaust done.

Just make sure to cut out your flapper. I left mine on per Borlas instructions and it was super quiet. Cut out the resonator and it was still quiet. Clamped my flapper valve open and it came to life. Wish I would have just cut it out to begin with.

How is the drone? I was considering leaving the flapper in to make sure i do not get the chopper drone when afm kicks in.

I just put the Borla ATAK dual out the sides on my 2016 gmc Denali. It took me about 45 minutes to do and it's amazing. It has an awesome sound at idle and when you step on it it sounds like a corvette! I'm extremely impressed. There is no drone what so ever. Not like the flowmaster. I'd recommend Borla. I got it from autoanything.com it listed for 999 and they had a 20% coupon code

Idk how you got that to happen, I just tried to add it to my cart then apply the 20% and it denied it saying discount promotions do not apply

Because of MAP policy the coupon probably is no longer valid. Get on chat and see what they say.

I guess the new 20% off doesn't apply to it, kind of sucks. I would put it on my credit card tonight if I got the Borla for 20% off lol

I don't have any drone. You can barely hear when it goes to v4 mode. No chopper like others say. Lol. I absolutely love it. Sounds perfect to me.

      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.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
