hey guys,

 

ready for exhaust on the truck. originally I was leaning towards muffler delete...I'm coming from high hp cars and hot rods, but this time around I'm keeping it much tamer,,, so my question is, has anybody ran a e cutout on these 14-15s? I'm thinking it would be the best of both worlds....no worries over v4 drone on Highway, but a solid exhaust note around town..

 

let me know what you think...

Just in front of stock muffler, bypassing muffler, adaptive valve and resonator...

If u dump it right there, the drone is HORRENDOUS.

I dropped the cat back off for a week just to play around. I'm a muscle car guy myself (favorite toy has nothing but a set of headers and a Y pipe) and there's no way in h*** I could live with it. About lost my hearing.

If you piped it out the back you maaaay get away with it. But then you'd basically have a muffler delete.

What about this... Lose the resonator and throw a cutout on after the muffler/adaptive valve? I'd keep the tail pipe in factory location for when cutout is closed

What Jay said. Just a muffler delete is seriously MUCH quieter than you'd expect. Bypassing the resonator will only change the tone for the worse IMO, and won't do much if anything for volume. And bypassing the muffler where it is is a drone making machine. I went through the same process as you. I decided to give the muff delete a shot. Cheap and easy. Loved it. Then I cut off the cat back, moved the resonator and flapper to where the muff was, added a Y, and went duals over the rear axle. Perfect for me!

OK... Sounds great guys.. I was only trying to avoid the loud an obnoxious exhaust notes of the past gen 3/4 ls motors, but if the muffler delete is civil I'll go that route..

It will surprise you nicely. Nice throaty sound at idle and cruise, wakes up when u get on it. I'd recommend leaving the flapper in.

Yes leave the flapper just cut out the muffler then put a 3 inch pipe in place of muffler. Once you do that go for a drive and think of all the money we just saved you don't forget too thank us later :). No way is it loud just a perfect rumble ever so slight.

Nice! Plan on keeping the flapper, actually have it clamped open right now... Guess I'll need to unclamp it afterwards? And I'll be sure to thank you guys for the saved coin.

I prefer mine unclamped, but that's the beauty of leaving it in. You can run either way to your liking!

      2026/2027 Suburban — confirming AS3 bench delete with standard MagRide/Adaptive

      By newdude · Posted

      Here's the 2026 order guide - Vehicle Order Guide   RPO code "AS3"?  Not seeing it.  What is it supposed to be?  I see AS3 used a long time ago as some sort of seat option, but its not applicable to the current Suburban.    I see RPO code "AZ3" which is 1st row 40/20/40 split bench.  That is only on LS trim, which LS can't option any of the trick suspension.     2nd row bench power fold RPO code is "ATT".  So your dealer should be able to sort their locator to find matching builds by searching the combo of ATT and Z95 combined to find a 2nd row power fold with MagRide.     You can do the 2nd row power bench AND have MagRide, or Mag with Air on Z71, RST and High Country.     Here's a Z71 with 2nd row power bench and the Z71 Off Road Package which adds the Adaptive Air and MagRide - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   Here's an RST with 2nd row power bench and the RST Capability Package, and RST Capability adds the Adaptive Air with Magride - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   I can't find a High Country, but you can do it on there.  Requires the 6.2, and the Sun and Tow pack which allows you to then option the 2nd row power fold.  Black interior only.  High Country comes standard with MagRide and you can order the air if you get the High Country Deluxe, but Deluxe will take you to captain 2nd row.       You can do it at GMC on the AT4 and the regular Denali (not Ultimate) as well.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
