I did RTP Black Tips on mine. I had to shorten the factory exhaust just a few inches to get the right look. I love the way it looks.

Thanks to you! Just debating gutting the 3rd cat now before I lose the resonator.

Mine is whatever came stock on my Z71 4x4. I don't know or care. Just leave it as it is. I am not going to spend money friviously on something so insignificant.

Yea, Borla Black Chrome. I was surprised when the dealer showed me the truck with the exhaust installed... I expected the traditional chrome tips but they thought it would look better with black... I think they got this one right! Looks good, sounds great! :)

 

Only thing I don't like is that they are clamp on tips and the dealer tack welded them so they would come off so easy... I think I am going to go to a muffler shop and have them welded on and the clamps taken off.

I want these! If they just clamp on the factory exhaust and are Borla, anyone have a part number?

Just finished it yesterday. Moved the flapper, resonator, and installed a 3.5 x dual 2.5 Y all where the old muffler was (in that order starting w/ the flapper at the flex coupling). Two 2.5" tubes up and over the axle, ending in what you see here.

Thx dude. I wasn't sure about the square tips, but I like them more each time I see them. I've always had round before, but this truck seemed entirely too "blocky" for round tips.

What tips are those? Brand, size of outlet, where to get? I'm thinking of similar tips.

I might look at the monster hook hex tips. They look pretty cool and can guarantee no one else would have them. Ill check em out at SEMA in a couple weeks

The Borla tips, won't fit the factory exhaust. I had the OEM single polished tip, but since have put on the GM Borla Exhaust system. The OEM exhaust pipe I think is 2 3/4" diameter, where the Borla exhaust pipe is 2 1/4".

 

I was kinda bummed about that as I was hoping to be able to just buy a second OEM tip when I had the Borla system installed, instead, I did have to buy 2 Borla tips. Mine are the polished chrome, rather then the "Black" chrome.

 

Here's a pic of the Borla and the OEM Tip.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      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.
