Free Exhaust Mod!!


Recommended Posts

I wanted to hear how my truck will sound if I played with the exhaust adaptive valve, so I took a 2" clamp, turned the valve 90 degrees and clamped it really well.

It sounded nice when the exhaust was cold, took it for a short drive and noticed the tone got better when the exhaust warmed up, slightly louder, defiantly not a $1k exhaust catback sound, but hey, it's FREE!! or almost free if you don't have a 2" clamp laying around.

I'll leave the clamp for a few days, if I like the sound I might as well take that dumb valve off.

Thought about passing this tip for anyone who's considering a catback or leasing his truck, this mod is totally reversible.

On a side note, I searched all over the forum about the tailpipe diameter for the 2014 6.2L, and found that it's supposed to be the same as the 5.3L, which is about 3" or 2 7/8", but when I measured mine, it was 3.5". Did GM changed the exhaust on later builds or what?

Remove the muffler add a pipe, sounds good not to loud quiet at cruise. I left everything else you can always do more later. I even left the flapper for now. Cost less than a tank of gas.

What is the purpose of the flapper valve? Are there any negative effects removing it or locking it open?

It's there to quite the drone when the engine goes to V4, and also makes the exhaust slightly quieter but looking at how it's designed, it's very resrtrictive. The only effect of removing it is slightly louder exhaust.
