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??

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
