2016 GMC Sierra All Terrain X Exhaust

I purchased a new 2016 gmc all terrain x in October 2016. I was watching a few YouTube videos of other guys all terrain X's and noticed a different exhaust. After looking at mine closer I think my dealership left the stock exhaust on instead of the upgraded performance exhaust. 

 

It looks like the stock exhaust is part #20757703 and the performance is 23442234. Can anyone verify? Any thoughts on how to approach this with the dealership since it's almost been two years since I bought the truck?

The best encounter I had at a dealership, is when I bought the truck with no loan from GM... I brought back for a paint “bubble” that “got passed QC” and got dragged around for two weeks... there’s no good approach to dealing with a dealership... just go it, be firm and do what you gota do. I will scan around and see if I can find a part number on my exhaust so you can atleast show them what’s up. I will also dig up my build sheet and send you a pic of that...
hold off on the dealership until you have all the info you need.

I would appreciate it. There's an all Terrain X discount for $750 at the end of my build sheet with no explanation. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Hollywoodsle looked up my VIN and said whatever the performance exhaust is, wasn't a dealer installed option, its showing that my truck does have it.

    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
