14 exhaust


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, I'm new to the gm world. Recently bought a 14 sierra all terrain. I'm looking into getting an exhaust system. I want a nice throaty rumble at idle but no drone in v4. I've read some posts on them but there all different lol. Thanks for the help

I have flow master 10. Gives it a good sound. Want more open the valve behind the muffler. V4 drone isn't horrible. I have had care with worse noises

They all have some drone the least is the GM performance exhaust. Save your money put a loud muffler or delete, and a range the plugs in under the dash no drone. Me I did a tune but there's warranty concerns with that, non with range.

I just had the GM Borla exhaust, no drone that I can here. Exhaust is not overly loud, IMO just right. Happy with my choice

I have a Borla Atak on my 2014 All terrain. It was super easy to install and I think definitely has the throaty tone you're looking for. Before I bought it I spoke with borla on the phone and the salesman warned me and said it may drone when it switches to v4. I have had in on now for over a year and love it and have never once heard the drone he was talking about. There are a couple different borlas you can get for this truck (atak, touring, and s-type?) with atak being the loudest. Borla definitely has the deepest and best sound in my opinion compared to flow masters and others

I have Borla S-Type on my '14 Silverado 5.3l, and it is perfect! It has just the right amount of growl when you step on it but quiets down when cruising down the road at highway speeds. I disabled the AFM in my truck so i can't say how bad the V4 drone is but i like it. Cold starts are awesome! :P I had a custom install and ran a y pipe after the muffler and went straight back with a slight turn down at the end.

The sound will obviously not be perfect but honestly watching videos on YouTube of different exhausts I think can give you a good idea of the tone and how loud it is. I know it will never match the real thing but I think it is a good start and a good way to compare different sounds.

+1 on the GM Borla side exit. Throaty rumble on cold start. Mellows out after the truck is warm, but you can still hear it. Absolutely no drone whatsoever. Light years better than the 22" magnaflow I had on there previously. Plus, it looks tough as hell with those dual tips sticking out.

    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
