Dual Exhaust Kit Question

Ok... on my 2016 I had Magnaflow duel exhaust.  LOVED how it sounded when it started up and when I got on it, but that constant rumble drove me NUTS!   And that over-drone sound while cruising on the highway was just too much.   

 

On my 2017 I left the exhaust alone and let it be stock.   I drive a new Dodge Rebel the other day and that thing sounds bad ass on start up and also when getting on it.  However, any other time it sounds just fine like my truck!   WHAT Is THAT and why???   

 

I would LOVE to have that on my truck!  I would love to have duel exhaust back!  But I don't want all that constant noise!   Can this be done?  

 

Thanks guys!

Add resonators or glass packs with loud mufflers. If you look under your truck there are a series of cats and mufflers that are high flow. They all worked together to quiet the truck and flow exhaust. I removed the muffler on my 14 it was pretty good. On my performance truck I have headers 3 inch duals high flow mufflers and two glass packs.

I put a GM Borla performance exhaust daul outlet behind the passenger rear tire on my 17.  Sounds awesome at start up and when you get on it.  Can't even tell it is there when cruising.  It is expensive but to me it is worth every penny.  A buddy of mine just got a new 19 rebel and our trucks sound about the same, his might be a touch louder, but not much.

Disconnect parts of the exhaust starting with the muffler and keep moving up the exhaust until you get the sound you want, and then install this kit at that spot. Set it for the default to be open. When your up to speed or on the freeway, flip the switch and your exhaust goes back to full stock to eliminate the drone.

I'm hearing to just go with the GM Borla system and be done with it.  

 

Again, I want a nice low growl on start up and idle... with a good mean growl when I get on it.  I don't want ANY drone sound when driving. That makes me crazy!   I didn't know that this existed until I drove another truck that did just this!  LOVED it. 

 

I'm seeing reviews and also youtube videos on the GM Borla exhaust system that will do this.  I like it.  

 

What about Magnaflow?  Do they make one like this??

 

Thanks!!

Since your in Texas I’d check out these guys and see what they can do for you or explain what your wanting and see if they can point you in the right direction. If I wanted true duals this is the place I would go even though it’s a 12 hour drive one way for me (seen some of their work in person). The other factor IMO is wether or not you’re willing to delete the AFM (V4 mode) or if you did on your 16? If you read or have read though some of the other exhaust threads on here you’ll see that some setups the drone is caused and/or added to from it.

They have TONS of videos of these trucks with different setups.

Magnaflow doesn't have the flapper, so more than likely it will drone. 

 

GM Borla has the flapper. I have the GM Borla. NO DRONE.

So, it sounds like the GM Borla is what I'm describing.  I will make some calls today...  I'll do a self install to save some $$ good GOD it's expensive!   ugh!

I have the GM Borla as well. I did it in my driveway by myself in 20 minutes. Best sound with no drone and not noticeable while cruising! Worth the money. Consider the money you spent on the truck, don't cheap out now lol :rolleyes:

I have the GM Borla.  In my opinion it's a waste of money.  If it's any louder over stock it's minimal at best.  It is definitely very quiet driving and cruising around town.  It really does sound just like stock, maybe 3-5 decibels louder.  If you are going for the look it's great, if you are doing it for the sound find something else to spend the money on.

That's weird that yours is only minimally louder than stock. Mine is very noticeable.  So much so that my next door neighbor came over and asked if I made my truck louder lol.  She said she could hear it start up in her house that was closed up.  Said she never heard it before.

I do know my boss has the Borla exhaust installed from GM when he bought it. I only know this since I told him I was doing a magnaflow. I honestly didn’t hear a big diff when he started it.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
