Well I finally found time to wash the truck and post a clip of the new Manaflow muffler. Instead of the expensive catback exhaust I ordered Magnaflow Muffler 12589 which is a 22 inch oval muffler with 3 inch in and out with offset. I was looking for an exhaust note that had a nice rumble but didn't sound obnoxious. I sometimes have customers in my vehicle and didn't want a loud exhaust and definitely no drone and this muffler provides just that. The audio clip attached doesn't do it justice. I was considering the 18 inch magnaflow but settled on the 22 inch. I originally left the resonator but went back after about 100 miles and had it removed as well. The truck sounds great to me now. This is the same muffler that is sold with the Magnaflow catback system. I think Magnaflow has a better clip of the catback system doing a fly by. If my wife had been available I would have done the same but wanted to get a clip posted for those on the fence regarding a muffler or exhaust. I have about 220 dollars in the muffler and install. Muffler was around 129 shipped through Amazon. Install probably could have been done cheaper but I couldn't find a better price. Anyway hope this helps.

 

Cheers

do you have a part number for that muffler?
is it loud enough or do you think it needs to be a little louder? I dont want to kill the passengers and I dont want drone, but I also want to know it has something...

do you have the 5.3 or 6.2

It is part #12589

 

Its the same that Magnaflow offers for their K2 Catback system. It strikes the right note...not to loud not too quite but just right and no drone. I have a 5.3 so I'm sure it would have even more grunt in a 6.2.

ah, pretty much the same muffler except for yours is a single exit. I plan to do duals.
I had a cat back in my suburban and it was obnoxious. not bad for normal driving, but when I hauled my trailer it held about 3000 and droned your head off. it was bad. I loved it otherwise.. this time around I dont want to be that obnoxious but want to know when I am on it that I am on it... but liveable through towing and normal driving ect..
thanks for the info

Yeah not sure which part is used on the dual system but 12589 is what they use on the single exit catback package. I think you will be pleased with the 22 inch muffler.

 

Good Luck!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
