I have the Borla Cat Back and it sounds amazing..especially with the KnN cold air intake. at idle it sounds healthy but in no way obnoxious but when you step on the gas it comes alive!! very pleased with this set-up, no drone noise whatsoever. ~K :gmc:

I have a true dual custom. Deleted 3rd cat and muffler and resonator. True dual no crossover pipe. Very loud and badass

I ended up going with a flowmaster 40 series. sounds great in v8 mode... v4 sounds like a very fast lope. May find that a CAI makes the v8 mode sound better from what you guys are saying. Need a way to remove v4 mode without voiding my warranty now...

Well you already changed the exhaust so I don't think using the Range device or doing a tune to get rid of V4 will make anything worse. I have the Flowmaster Super 44 and I don't mind the V4 drone. Some people say it sounds like a helicopter, but be having a CDL A and tried out trucking and did local delivery in commercial class B trucks it sounds more like an engine/jake brake to me which I actually love hearing when I was trucking in the mountains. Maybe down the road I'll do a tune and turn the AFM V4 off, but not too worried about it. I've never had a problem with it not switching smooth. Even if it doesn't help mileage much (which for me it only does on the highway, just not in town or on the interstate) it won't make it worse so again I'm not worried too much about turning it off. I do wish you could just turn it off like you can just turn off TC, Stabilitrak and Grade Braking.

From what I've read, changing your exhaust does not void your warranty. The Magnuson-Moss warranty act of 1975 protects us in that aspect. Which it requires the dealer to prove that the cause of failure of the part in question was caused by the aftermarket modification. I do agree with you on the exhaust break sound though, I work for KW and deal with these truck all day. If only the dealer would turn it off and not void the warranty...

Which was sort of my point since the same goes for a Range device or tune to turn off AFM. The dealer would have to prove that turning off AFM caused an issue.

Oh gotcha. I was told a tune does void your warranty though 100%

It's a lot bigger chance of a tune voiding it since it seems to be easier to blame a tune for an engine problem than an exhaust. But, to be honest I personally haven't had any issues with my '14 and once I did the exhaust I'm not afraid of voiding the warranty. I guess another part of my point is that you already did exhaust so why now be afraid of voiding the warranty. Trust me, this '14 was the first truck I've purchased brand new and first truck with any kind of warranty. So at first I was afraid to void the warranty. I even called the dealer I got the truck from (same one in my town) about if an exhaust would void it and all they said was that they didn't think it was a good idea because it could void the warranty. But, after being on here for a little bit of time I realized it has to be proven as you stated. So I said screw it and had it done. Now I guess it broke the ice on modding a brand new vehicle and I don't mind modding the truck while still under warranty.

 

There is, as I mentioned, something called a Range device. It turns off AFM and all you do is plug it into the OBDII port and I don't think it's traceable like a tune is so that would be the way to go if you can't wait for the warranty go end.

I looked into the range device but haven't seen many people review it. I wont have this truck for its full warranty, it will leave me within the next year or 2. Do you have any input on that range device? According to their website it isn't traceable like you said.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
