I ended up going with the Borla S type catback system. Installed it today and really really like the sound. Auto anything had the best price by far after the discount I received. I'm very happy with the system.

I'm not sure about the Atak, I've never heard one. but the S type is sounds really good. I will post a video soon. I do not have any type of CAI. It's stock under the hood.

How bad is the drone on the highway if any at all?

 

I have the GM cat-back but I feel it may be a bit to quiet. Tempted to go get the S-type.

Just got mine installed. The v4 drone is completely gone. I had a drone at low rpms while in v4 like a tin can. That's gone.

 

On the highway, in v4, no drone at all. Foot off the gas and its completely silent.

 

Cold start up and acceleration sounds fantastic.

 

I do hear like a warble, (a waaa waaa waaa waaa) when just cruising and accelerating. Its a little odd. Wonder if anyone else hears it?

I know this is an old post but I have the Magnaflow that Summit racing is going to take it back under warranty and allow me to switch brands and I am looking at the borla s type and saw you were having a weird sound at startup. Did you ever find out what that was??

They determined it was a defective muffler. A replacement was sent to me.

I have the Atak on my truck, the sound is great. Pretty quiet at idle, but definitely noticeable when I get on it. Drone really isn't too bad if any at all while cruising, I really would call it just hearing the exhaust sound rather than actual drone.

 

Can't compare it soundwise to the S type or GM Borla as I have not heard any in person.

I have the ATAK as duals under the bumper on my 6.2..... love it. It's loud lol.... at start up it snaps like my 6.2 F150 did with headers and an MBRP but just rumbles at idle. On the highway it's quiet relatively anyway when cruising. I find it quieter in the truck than with the junk MBRP I had on the truck prior... which when you got on it did not sound nearly this good or this loud either lol. I guess that's what twice the price for an exhaust gets you...... And well.... my MBRP is a pitted up piece of shit after 8 months that looks 10 years old... this being T304 should eliminate that.

Been meaning to wash the truck so I could take these pics. Had the Birla performance side swept installed for a couple months now.

 

Also did the black chrome tips.

I have the same setup. Keep an eye on the chrome finish, mines already chipping off after less than a year.

 

Other than that I love the sound the S-Type makes, especially when WOT.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
