I have read countless exhaust threads and listened to at least 200 videos of exhaust systems on our trucks... I currently have the borla touring exhaust and it to quite for my taste. Here is my dilemma... I'm trying to decided between the borla s type or the atak. I do some towing and I'm afraid the the atak is gonna have to much cab noise while towing but I'm also thinking the s type will be to quite for me as well. Any advice on these 2 systems from current owners would be much appreciated. Does anyone have the atak and do any towing if so how bad is it inside the cab?

Corsa Sport maybe?

I like the corsa but I have heard others mention of a drone while crusing at highway speeds. I drive 80 miles each way on 4 lane to work and it would drive me crazy. The atak may do the same I just wanted to hear from others that have any of these systems and see how they like them

Add a set of headers and leave the Borla Touring. It will amp things up a bit.

I'm going to eventually I think I'm just not ready to dump the warranty just yet...

Why not just go strait pipes with no cats?

I'm just not a fan of the it. Nothing wrong with it just not my cup of tea.... I love the sound of the borla mufflers

I have the corsa sport on my truck and it sounds amazing and has no highway drone, when I tow the boat it is pretty quiet then also, only when acceleration up an incline you can start to hear the exhaust.

 

I'd go corsa, they have a no drone warranty.

Thanks! That's good to hear I'm leaning that way after listening to sound clips. I guy I work with has the borla s type on the same set up as mine so he's gonna drive it to work and take me for a spin to see what I think.

If you tow ANYTHING with the Atak after 50 miles you will want to pull over and walk into oncoming traffic to end the suffering. :banghead:

Exactly what I figured. I tow a camper 2 or 3 times a summer usually about 100 miles each time plus a side by side a good bit and I wanna be able to enjoy the ride. I will probably end up with the s type or the corsa but I'm really learning towards the s type just for my preference in sound..

I'm running a MagnaFlow cat back system now. It's a bit quite for me. Now I see there's 3 cats on my truck it's a '15 silverado 1500 5.3 I wad told I can delete that 3rd cat and be fine since I don't live in cali. Has anyone deleted that 3rd cat if so do you have exhaust drone that's my main concern with deleting it.

I have ordered the Borla S type so we will see how it goes it should be here on Tuesday and of coarse if this is time It will be on the same day. So we will see how it goes!

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
