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?

about mid way of the tip. Here's another pic from the back underneath.post-106333-0-17486600-1454216609_thumb.jpeg

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.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
