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.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
