I took some videos of me driving this morning but the sound is really off from using my iPhone. Sounds like there is humming in the cab but there is zero. I will try and take a better video with a different device later.

 

 

Thank you. I think this will help a lot of people who are wondering what the interior sounds like after the delete.

In houston TX, my local shop charged me 60 to replace my factory muffler with a straight pipe and install my gibson square tips side by side straight out the pass side...meaning a new piece of pipe to go straight back and "Y" to my dual tips. I thought it was a bargain !!

My exhaust guy wants $30 to do the muffler delete with aluminized steel exhaust pipe welded in. Since it's so affordable I think I'll have him use 409 stainless steel instead. Now I just got to wait until the new truck comes in.

Okay, had some more work done on the exhaust. I moved the resonator back, deleted the flapper valve, added a Y splitter, and duel black exhaust tips. Here is cold start. I will try and do an in cab video later but the iPhone really sucks because it picks up a lot of humming noise that you don't hear in person.

That's pretty cool how you did that with the resonator. How's the drone in the cab with the flapper valve gone?

Now that sounds good. So it is basically a muffler delete and valve delete? All cats and resonator left. Any rev or driving vids. Now that is a cheap easy way to a nice sound

Thanks! You can tell it's there. It wasn't super annoying but might be after a while. I disabled the V4 mode with my Diablo i2.

 

You can hear the hum in the video but it's not there in person. Not sure why the iPhone picks it up so strongly. It's how all my in cab videos sound but the hum is honestly not there.

Yes, just a muffler and valve delete. I wanted duels but with the resonator so close to the back, it made it difficult. So we just moved it back and added the Y splitter. I spent $300 total :)

 

Thanks. I have tried at least 5 times to shot a video in the cab but the iPhone picks up a ton of hum that is just not there. My son has a GoPro and will try and use that. Should be able to do some videos durning lunch tomorrow.

Thank you! Seriously you're videos are really useful. They sealed the deal for me. Now I got to wait for the truck to come in.

Wow that sounds real good. It seems like when cruising its fairly quite. Once you hit it is pretty loud. That's nice , cheaper than all the borlas , corsas and stuff and from the bids looks good and sound real nice. Your not planning an exhaust upgrade are you ? Are you happy with it?

Yes, I like it a lot, I don't plan on doing anything else but we all know how that goes.

So with or without the flapper ? Wonder what it would sound like without the flapper on stock tune trucks like mine. I don't mind taking off the flapper as well as the muffler but just wonder if there is any noise difference with or without it.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.
