I hate my honeycomb grill but can't find a aftermarket grill I like for my '15 Silverado. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Interesting you say that. I found the 14-15 front end of the silverados to be my favorite, sadly there were only 16-17s when I purchased mine so I was out of luck. I do like the sierra with the custom grille though. Looks so nice.
boombalatty Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Put a Carven R series on and removed the flapper valve. Kept the three cats. Dunno how I feel about it yet. The tone is nice but it's a little drone-ish on the highway.

First trip on the highway I thought i was going to be sick from the drone, but either its toned itself down or I dont notice it anymore. Love how it sounds when you get on it. 1

V4 isn't bad but the transmission sticking to a lower gear forever when I'm trying to accelerate is annoying but that's more a byproduct of the trans than the muffler. Running in 'manual' mode is more pleasant audibly and responsively. When it switches to V4 it just gets really quiet much like the stock sound.

Love how it sounds when you get on it. I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's my first custom exhaust in 20 years of driving so it's a new experience haha. I did drive a bit with the windows down and you're right that it does sound good when you put your foot in it. It's dynamic too but I can't seem to keep off the accelerator.

I wouldn’t mind a loud muffler if it doesn’t drone bad or has the chopper sound I think it's a general conscious that any aftermarket muffler will have v4 drone and chopper noise. Some can tolerate better than others. I can tell you that the Carven R with no flapper and resonator defiently drones and there is chopper noise.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk I have the Borla ATAK exhaust on my truck, I can assure you it has no drone in V-4 mode. Once V-4 mode kicks in the exhaust becomes quiet almost like the stock exhaust. That’s just my opinion on the exhaust

Aboogie808 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Just installed Cognito UCA. I will be doing my add leaf on today. After all is done, taking it to the shop for a wheel alignment. 2
