Looking into getting rid of the 2015 1500 5.3L and upgrading to a 2016 2500 w/ the 6.0. I currently have the Corsa sport on my truck and I like the sound level and tone. I can only find a minimal list of exhaust systems to choose from for the 6.0 & I'm not a really a fan of flowmaster. I was thinking a muffler delete but I don't want to cause any back pressure issues, if it even causes any. I also saw MBRP makes one but I'm afraid it'll be a little too quiet. I want to stay away from headers for a couple years at least. Thoughts and Opinions anyone?

6.0 strait pipe is insane loud! Like pulled over daily and ticket loud.

 

I figured Magnaflow made a kit, that or the MBRP would work, a strait through muffler on a 6.0 will get the sound you want!

 

Lots of YouTube videos out there.

Any videos of the exhaust while driving it? As in a drive by and in the cab?

Yeah, I like loud but I don't want sloppy sounding loud. If I could only find one of those Corsa DB mufflers they use to make to replace out the factory one.

dont have a drive by but here's in cab. Keep in mind this is on an 06 WT so its a little louder in the cab than a newer truck would be.

good luck trying to find sound clips on the newer 6.0 s. ive been trying to find them since i had my 2012 Hd,and now i have a 2015 and Mbrp/Magnaflow has a kit but they dont have sound clips on their websites for the 6.0. theres clips all over for the 1500s. i even called both companies and nobody ever got back to me. if you find any,let me know. i tow a trailer and i m not looking for drone inside.

I have a 2015 6.0 and had my local performance muffler shop cut off my stock muffler and put on a Magnaflow 12909 muffler and they made a new tailpipe that is pretty hidden. I really like the sound of it. It's there when you want to get on it, but doesn't really drone while driving.

 

The newer HD trucks already have a 3.5 inch exhaust system, so in my opinion, it's not worth doing a whole new cat back system, just get a muffler and a new tail pipe, if you like the hiddne/dumped exhaust look.

I'm in the same boat as you. I was also looking at gibson exhausts for the 6.0. They seem like a well constructed exhaust.

I was looking at the Gibson #65650 for my truck. The listing says its for 11 to 15..Im guessing that I should be safe in ordering it for my 16? There was no major changes from 15 to 16 was it??

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.
