Hey guys and gals.

 

So who knows of a company that just sells a muffler swap for the 2014+ 6.2 liter V8 in the Sierra/Silverado's.

 

I just want a bit more of a growl from this truck. It's too quiet, but I definitely don't want some loud exhaust with drone.

So I'd love to just swap out the muffler for one that allows a tiny bit of growl too it (on par with the Borla Touring, etc.)

 

Borla seems to only sell cat-back systems, not just mufflers alone.

I haven't called them to ask yet, but if you know of a company that has a nice muffler with a bit of a growl to it for these 6.2's, please guide me along.

 

Thanks

Go on YouTube there are plenty of videos of Borla mufflers on the newer trucks. I'm going with an XR1 on my 2014 with a 5.3. You can buy mufflers by them selves at Summit or Jegs.

Borla 40085

 

 

I heard a few of them on youtube. Not sure if they changed the main huge muffler or the 2nd smaller muffler when adding the 40085?

Or if they are changing more than just the one muffler with the 40085.

I just did a muffler swap. I still have all of my cats and resonators. Just swapped the trashcan muffler pit for the 40085. There is just a little more rumble. You can actually hear the exhaust not but it's not loud. You can still fall asleep inside the vehicle at wide open throttle

So the 40085 muffler replaces the gigantic main muffler but you left the smaller round 2nd resonator/muffler in the rear?

FYI for your exhaust shop, this is not a direct swap muffler; that muffler has 3" inlet you have a 3.5" inlet

Seriously, so they need to make a downsized pipe?

That's kind of a bummer, not sure I want to downsize the inlet pipes restricting more air going into the first muffler.

Yes. Just muffler swap. And the flapper valve is deleted as well

Behind the stock muffler. Literally right after the muffler

Wonder if they will make one of these Borla's with a 3.5" inlet so it's not restricting any air flow going into the muffler, like the stock pipe size?

Driver I have the Magnaflow 12909 on my 6.2 and really dig it. Not too loud but sounds good at startup and when you gas it. Best of all any competent exhaust shop can cut off the stock muffler and exhaust flapper valve and weld the new muffler in place.

These have 3.5" I/O, others are out there too listed these as they are brands for systems or mufflers I have used in the past.

 

Borla 40086

Borla 401012

Magnaflow 12909

Dynomax 17517

 

Watch removing the flapper if no plans for tuning out V4.

 

Also keep in mind there is a science to exhaust from OEM and aftermarket, that's why some that just hack off parts have issues with drone and resonance, not that you can't get them with a complete system.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
