EXHAUST!!!!! @ all the choices


Recommended Posts

Posted

Want duals on my 13' 5.3 but don't want much more noise in the cab. Hoping to find something that sound awesome outside just not so much in.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Borla sounds pretty good and they also have videos to let you hear what it sounds like inside and outside the truck

OK thanks, I've though about borla or Gibson.

i have a Gibson on my 03 SS for 10 years now with no complaints/issues..it can get a little loud inside, but you can hear the exhaust tones, but no drown..it's about 10 db louder than stock inside but when you push it, it will scream..what ever you get, spend the extra $$ on a stainless system.

Hi Kyle,

 

If you’re looking to make your truck sound more aggressive, check out our “S-Type” cat-back system (part #140429) for your 5.3L. This exhaust was designed specifically for your truck to make it sound loud and mean on the outside, while keeping unwanted resonance out of the cabin. This system comes with dual, split rear 4” polished tips.

 

We also offer other cat-back systems with split rear (p. #140340), side (p. #140343), and split side exits (p. #140341). These cat-back systems will have a more mellow sound, closer to our “Touring” systems. These would be a good pick if you want to give your truck a nice growl that’s slightly louder than the stock the exhaust. As with the “S-Type” cat-back I mentioned above, our other cat-back systems will keep drone/resonance to an absolute bare minimum in the cabin.

 

All of our systems are made of high quality, 300-series austenitic stainless steel and come with our Million Mile Warranty. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call at 805-986-8600. Happy exhaust hunting!

Lindsay,

 

Do you know when the cat back system will be available for the 6.2

Hi Derrick,

 

We finished development on the 6.2L in our R&D shop. Now the systems have to go through our red tape and internal paperwork phase. After developing a product on the work bench, sound testing and approval has to get drawn in CAD by our engineers, costed, and then sent to the production floor for scheduled fabrication. All said and done, you should be able to order this part in 2-3 months, hopefully less. Thanks for your patience; we really appreciate your interest in our parts. I hope you have a great day!

Corsa or Borla are really your only options when it comes to sound out the back and not in the cab. Especially if you don't want drone.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
