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.

I LIKE THE FIRST SET OF TIPS, THEY KINDA REMIND ME OF THE DUAL REAR SIDE EXIT TIPS THAT CLASSIC 70S TRUCKS USED TO HAVE INSTALLED ON THEM. SOMETHING ID DEFINITLEY LIKE TO DO TO MINE.

5" tip axle dumped

Always been a fan of the dump, did it on my 13 sierra, looking to do it on my 14. Do you have the stock exhaust other than the tip? I am assuming you cut the resonator off, any negatives to this setup you might have noticed so far? Thanks in advance!

I cut from the muffler back off and welding in a Spintech 9000. and had a small section of piping made for the axle dump. Truck sounds very good. Only negatives I can think of is the drone when it kicks into V4 mode.

Thanks, yeah I am just planning on keeping the stock muffler and cutting off the resonator and doing the dump, just like the clean look of nothing hanging under the rear end.

For those of you that have stock exhaust tubing, for the tip (clamp on), did you order 3" inlet? I'm going to pull the trigger today for cyber Monday deals. Thanks!

I have that one on my Sierra. It is very good quality, and looks new after being installed since last fall.

I had the local muffler shop chop off my 5" chrome Magnaflow tip and fab me up a 4" Plain Jane.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      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.
