Just an fyi, shop Chevy parts has the gm/ Borla systems for sale for $999. They're only listed in the Chevy section but both trucks use the same part # so it doesn't matter. I just ordered one. Does anyone have any pics of the tips you buy separately? Do they say Borla on them? Again the tips for the system are only in the Chevy section and I don't want something with a bow tie showing up for my GMC.

They say Borla on them. Here's the chrome, side exit version...post-106333-0-24515200-1454215154_thumb.jpeg

Thanks for the pic chuck, looks good. I'm trying to decide which (chrome or black chrome) to order for mine. How far back does the exhaust land without tips?

They are listed for the GMCs too. Shop Chevy parts has great prices but their shipping prices border complete disrespect for the customers.

 

I was looking at a trailer hitch cover. Regular $25, they have it for $17 somethinf, and the shippoing.. $38 to VA. $38 for a piece of rubber.

 

Anything they have you can find on Amazon for a couple bucks more and free prime shipping.

 

Or as someone mentioned before, just get a local dealer to matcheck the price.

The shipping was $70 so it will be here cheaper than I saw it listed anywhere else, local dealership never answered my email, and it would cost me $70 to drive round trip to where I bought my truck but I get your point. If any other avenue would've been cheaper/ more convenient I would have gone for it.

You will need some sort of tip as the pipes are too short without them. I have the black tips and the rear exit on my truck. You are getting a good price shipped. I got mine on line with a GM dealer, but the shipping was free and the price was a little higher I believe.

The bow-tie comes on the non-Borla exhaust.

I'm going to see what I think when it's installed, I'm not that into tips so we'll see. Thinking about maybe going with a 3" or 3.5" resonator tip of I decide I need them.

I went and picked up some tips today, they're just clamped on for now until I decide on final fit but for now I like this. They're tucked back far enough that if I put a rock in them off road they won't crush into my bed and damage it. Took a lot of thought to decide between black powder coat and chrome.

Anyone with the Borla feels that it contributes to a bit of vibration inside the cab when cruising at highway 75+ speeds.

 

I almost feel that when I take my foot off the gas, the ride smooths out more.

 

I have a CC 5.3

 

Maybe it's just me.

If you haven't already, look and see it any part of the exhaust is touching the belly. I don't have this issue on my truck...not yet anyways ;)

Nope. Mine rides nice at highways speeds.

      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.
