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

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
