Please post pics after! Are you attaching them to the stock exhaust tubing? I saw you got the muffler too, but didn’t know if you got a full exhaust kit. I really want to change my tips to quad tips but have a stock exhaust and wasn’t sure which inlet size to get. Is it 2.75”?

 

sorry for the barrage of questions.

Not exactly sure what the stock size is but it does look closer to a 3" and yes it's going on the stock tubing. Not sure if there all different size based off what the motor. People gonna hate when I say that mine is a 2.7 turbo and replacing the muffler is gonna make it sound ricer but I'm doing it out of curiosity but still want that dual tip out of the side in front of the rear wheel soley for cosmetics. Contemplated for awhile on what muffler o was gonna go with but if this muffler can make a 2.7 ecoboost sound good (although it's a v6) I'm sure itll make a LB3 sound just as good, if not im gonna have the shop put the 3 foot muffler back on and sell the Carven. Luckily I got it on ebay with an offer I made for $75.

That’s cool man! I don’t hate on anyone’s vehicle, even Honda’s with giant spoilers on the back. I love modding everything I own (From guns to cars to trucks) and I think it adds a real sense of personality. Thanks for getting back to me so quick, I hope the parts work out. It’s gonna look sick! But if there is anyone out there (I posted a topic about it a while back) that knows what size piping the LT TB has so I can choose tips with the right inlet, please let me know!

I like it so far. Mainly because of how it cleans up the engine bay. There is a slight growl when you get on it but it’s nothing major I barely notice it. Wouldnt day the exhaust is louder at all. So far I have seen on my daily driving back and forth to work (albeit a small sample size) about a 1mpg increase. I didn’t buy it for this but so far an added bonus we will see if it maintains

Awesome. I’m really leaning toward getting this CAI. Thanks for the input. Last few questions. Notice any power gains/acceleration change? And is this a dry element, or oiled?

When I did stop at the exhaust shop I'm going with, they just did a T1 with a 5.3 and the muffler was half the size of mine and the tubing did look smaller. Sorry, I know that's no help to get the exact size.

Swapped back to the chrome grille, dropping off the black one to have paint matched. I have the grille swap down to about 10 minutes ?

Seat of pants yes I feel more responsiveness. Have gotten on it a few times and it pulls smooth. The filter comes pre-oiled. And not it’s not dripping. Touching the filter I didn’t get any oil on my hands

Doing some serious weight reduction. 2.7 muffler on the left 5.3 on the right. Didnt realize these 2.7 came with a flapper.

As a tip don’t forget bolt #20 pitting it in at the end sucks [emoji23]

Cold start clip. Drones like a mutherf***r cruising speed. Besides the turbo whistle being amped, it's just obnoxiously loud in general and can feel a bit of vibration thru the floor and steering wheel on idle. Already ordered a 22" body magnaflow muffler to replace it and hopefully baffles the noise alot. If it doesnt ship soon then I'll just have the stock one put back on. On the upside, the dual tips looks way better than a pipe just hanging off the back and straight thru flow did increase low end power, is why I decided on the magnaflow. Anyone interested in a 3" Carven TR muffler ?

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
