I'm on my third stock exhaust on my 16 5.3. First two were replaced for the V8/V4 squeak. The one now is the new design with the flapper in front of the muffler. Lasted 6 months now if rattles loudly at idle. Looks like exhaust system #4 will be on order soon.

Is that where the V8/V4 squeak came from? I had a '14 that did it from day 1. I never really put any thought into what was causing it. I learned something new today. What is the purpose of the exhaust flap anyways?

I had PEV / Flapper valve replaced at 800 miles on my 16, 5.3, RCSB..

Now with 6800 m, still quiet..

 

Had to prove to service manager,, my old buddy that it was the issue..

Was easy when set to M5 and no squeaking noise since did not transfer between V4 to V8 mode..

Dealership replaced entire exhaust system too...

 

Discovered "rust" on moving parts was cause of tin can squeak noise..

 

So Far,, So Good..

If that stupid contraption begins to make noise, it and the rest of the restrictive exhaust is getting replaced with a high quality aftermarket system.

I had the Borla on for a while but took it off to sell to pay some bills. It was nice but It did get annoying when towing my camper. The first two factory exhausts had the flapper after the muffler and would squeak when going v4/v8. Gm redesigned it with the flapper in front of the muffler and the valve itself is different too. The new design doesn't squeak and was quiet till it recently started rattling when idling. The rattle goes away as soon as I put my hand on the valve in the video.

We traded my wife's 14 in on a 17 about a month ago. On the 14 I had the flapper valve removed after we had owned a while and within a week of picking up her 17 I drove it one day and had the valve removed on it. We both think the exhaust tone is a little deeper and have had no other issues with it. To me it was just a big restriction in the stock exhaust.

I have the GM Borla dual exit on my 2017 6.2l Denali. Luckily I don't have the rattle at idle or when going in out of V4. But I do get a high pitched tin can type of noise when I get on it from 2.5k RPM about 3.5k RPM. If I don't get on it hard I don't hear it. Seems to me like the flapper valve is acting like a reed in an instrument. It might be because I have headers in front of it. It is annoying when I want get on it that is what I have to hear.

Get some chicken wire and wire the valve open. I did that on the Borla flapper when I had it on my truck

I tried wire it open once and got frustrated. I'll give another go and report back.

I used a plastic zip tie to hold it open all the way, then wrapped it in metal wire, then cut the zip tie off.

I wrapped a big hose clamp across my factory flapper. Works great.

The new design flapper like I have is round not square like the old one so the hose clamp won't work. Think gm figured out the hose clamp trick on the redesign

Mine is doing that squeak sound when it goes from v8 to v4 mode. I'm taking my truck back to dealer next week to have CD player fixed. My question is...is it worth me having dealer look at that to?

Yes. There is a TSB for it. You will get a new exhaust system, then cross your fingers it doesn't make noise

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
