Drop resonator only

Hey guys, I tried searching this but didn't really find an answer.

Has anyone tried just ditching the reasonator and keeping everything else stock including the adaptive valve?

I'm thinking about this cause everywhere I read talks about drone and I do not want that. Also don't want to spend big $ for a full system at this time.

Just looking for a bit of rumble out of this truck and thought that might be a good place to start.

It will make it a bit louder. I can't imagine you would get much if any drone by just removing the resonator.

I think you will like deleting the muffler better....

 

This video is of a guy who deleted the muffler, kept the valve and resonator.

Sounds good! Need a clip of stock to compare.

That actually sounds pretty beast. If I ever decide to cut into the stock exhaust this is what I will do.

I used to have a muffler delete only then recently got my resonator pulled out too and it does add a bit more noise especially on cold startup but other than that a resonator delete mostly just changes the way it sounds, i could upload a video if you want, also mines a 6.2 so if you have the 5.3 that would also change it a bit

Yes I have the 5.3, so wouldn't sound the same...I do think the muffler delete sounds good at times but then other times like when revving it sometimes sounds like it has an exhaust leak but that could very well just be because I'm listening on a iPhone so tough to tell without hearing in person...don't know what to do. If I cut it out and don't like it then what....

Thanks for the responses!

Honestly I was worried too at first but once you get it done you wont regret it, the only problem i have now is that with my muffler and resonator taken out it can be a tad too loud in some places haha

Haha, I don't really want it too loud, I'm kinda past that point in my life. Just want my new truck to sound like a V8 and not a sewing machine.....

Just a little hesitant to cut out the muffler and then

want to spend more on it because I'm not happy. Getting harder to sneak past the wife these days haha.

I'm like you. I like the sound of the stock GMT900 exhausts. That old school stock GM throaty rumble at idle. I think if we cut out the flapper valve and resonator, we should get that. Those are the only new additions to this K2 truck exhaust I believe.

this is with a flowmaster 40 and no resonator or flapper valve, I hardly have any drone at all, now that I have been driving for a while I don't even notice it. Love the sound.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
