Deciding on Gibson or MBRP. I use to have a Gibson on my 03 5.3 Seirra, it sounded ok but maybe a year later I ditched it for a flowmaster set up. The flowmaster set up was aluminized so it only lasted for about 5 years. I really like the price of both Gibson and MBRP for their stainless systems. My experience with Gibson is hardly any cab noise. That was one thing that eventually got on my nerves with flowmaster. Anybody running Gibson or MBRP? Any input?

I'm running the Gibson on my 15' Sierra 5.3. It has a great rumble sound and drone is very minimal unless your in v4 mode. It's awful and the way I fixed that was to get the range afm delete. Now I'm truly happy with it! I had a mbrp true dual exhaust on my old Procharger 10' Camaro SS. That was a quality piece and the car sounded awesome. I was close to going with mbrp for my truck but the sound clips I heard made it sound very tame and quiet. I wanted a bit more sound and am glad I went with Gibson.

I have the gibson dual sport, and love it. Gets nice and loud at wot, but nice and quite while driving on the highway.

I have sold and installed 5 MBRP kits since installing the 3.5" kit on my 5.3. I had guys pulling me over to ask what exhaust I had...even took one guy for a ride so he could hear the interior side of it. So I like the MBRP systems.

Ok to me but everyone has their threshold on this kind of thing. From a stop you can actually hear the truck now and interstate cruising it's virtually silent and the Airaid MIT will make it hollar also.

Installed the Gibson today and it's awesome. The V4 doesn't bother me that much, I may just shut it off. I don't have any drone in the cab when driving on the Highway. My tires are louder than the exhaust at that speed.

I have a Gibson single swept side exhaust. It's great, loud when you're on it tame when you're not. No drone.

Just ordered this exhaust last night. Hoping its what im looking for!

Just installed the 3" in/out... ended up leaving off the tail piece and dumped it behind the axle.

 

Sound is exactly what I was looking for, much deeper tone and not terribly loud. If I listen closely I can hear a very slight flutter when it's in V-4 but no drone.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
