Love mine. I am using the GM / Borla cat back system. This is equal to the touring muffler system.

X2 just enough rumble for me... Not obnoxious at all. No drone nor any helicopters chasing me.

can the GM Borla muffler be purchased and placed in spot of the stock muffler, leaving the flapper and resonator?

No. The GM Borla muffler is part of an exhaust system which includes a new "flapper" and eliminates the resonator; it is only sold as a kit through GM dealers. This GM Borla muffler is a single in, dual out configuration allowing use of a double side exit (where both pipes exit the same location on the passenger side) or rear dual exit. However, if you are looking for the same sound as the GM Borla, it is akin to their "touring" sound series mufflers.

Thanks. I've been looking at the S type catback system. Auto anything has the best price so far.

After getting the GM borla exhaust I think it's great. Easy bolt on and sounds okay. Maybe a little to quiet for my tastes but a nice exhaust non the less.

 

I chose for the dual pipes out the same side.

So installation is pretty simple?

Very easy to install.

 

Worst part was getting the OEM exhaust out. I got it out in one piece but it took me a little bit.

 

To me the new exhaust feels a little loose, like easy to wiggle, but I think that's the hangers.

 

I can take a picture or two if you want.

I have the GM Borla and love it. I had it modified slightly; wanted angled dual exits instead of straight and also different tips. I've had it on for 1000 miles now so its broken in a bit, and I'm happy with it. Not too loud, but definitely better sounding than the stock exhaust.

www.gmpartsnow.com has the GM/Borla system for $1149.99 with free shipping. If you are active or retired military, you get an additional 10% ($1034.99).Also, they have the best return policy of any online parts dealer that I have researched.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
