Dual Exhaust Kit Question

Personally I’d have been upset if I had spent the money on this exhaust. It came with my truck but I verified it’s the GM version as I found the receipt for it. I’ve even bypassed the valve in hopes it would be louder but it’s not. I reached out to Borla to see if I could swap the mufflers but they don’t sell those separately and I’m not going to drop $1600 on another one. Hopefully the headers will add the volume I’m looking for.

I believe I've seen Borla CrateMufflers for sale on Summit Racing for about $240ish. I found a Borla Atak 3 inch inlet for like $250 a while ago but decided to go with Carven.

You can buy Borla mufflers all day. But the one with the kit is a single in dual out and has pre bent pipes welded to the outlets. So I could buy another muffler and have new piping bent and welded in or just live with it and wait and see what the headers do for the sound. Not worth the effort for me at this point to get something new. I’ve got the Atak on my charger and it’s freaking awesome and has zero cab noise. I’d love it on this truck.

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 called Borla.  They confirmed that the GM Borla is what I want.  They also confirmed that it's the valve that makes the difference (when it drops to 4cly).  

 

They confirmed that as long as it is an "official GM product" that it WILL have the valve and that you do NOT have to buy it directly from a dealer parts dept for this.  He confirmed that Summit racing is ONE that has the "official GM" Borla exhaust and that it DOES have the valve.   Anyone that sells what would be "official GM" Borla exhaust, WILL have the valve.

 

This is what I will go with and will post back once I have it done and complete.  

 

Good stuff here!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
