All T1s have single pipe exhaust.  The exception is that any truck that comes with the dual polished tips has dual piping coming from the muffler but before the muffler there is still only one pipe.

Yeah, but I assume the y pipe and additional piping changes the sound some.  The pics I saw showed each of the two pipes behind the Y had the perforated resonator patches too.

Correct they do.  Mines a little different since my cutout dumps right before the muffler so my sound doesn't pass through anything other than the cats when the cutout is open

The dual tip T1s use a y pipe into a single in/out muffler and then it Y’s again at the axle to two pipes

Any word when Borla will have an ATAK kit out

 

You can already order a Borla kit from the dealer.  Its a $1500 option.  The "LPO, Cat-Back Performance Exhaust" is Borla (RPO = WBC).  Not sure if it is the ATAK version though.

Hey guys,

 

I just had a Magnaflow muffler installed on my 2019 6.2. I believe there were 2 flapper valves; one before the muffler and one after the muffler, both of which were removed. Reasonators were kept.

 

I’m happy with the sound but problem is that when the engine drops down to low cylinder mode, it makes that choking/chopping sound at a the 1200 rpm range. Sounds great while idling and over 1200 RPMs, but at 1200 it’s really annoying.  I’ve had the new muffler for about a week and it hasn’t improved.

 

Any ideas?

 

thanks

The last new truck I had was a 14. To eliminate without a tune. Shift your truck to m mode, click up to last gear before your highest gear. If you have a 8 speed that would be 7. My truck was a 6 speed. Before I got a tune I ran M5 until I went over 2K on the tachometer then I click up to M6. The would eliminate cylinder deactivation. Unless something has changed in the programming that should still work.

No doubt the sound you hear is created from the Dynamic Skip Fire tech. on T1

Probably sounds worse than the droning helicopter 4 cylinder mode noise on K2

Sure does since this thing will fire on only 1-2 cylinders. Wondering if a muffler delete or any other options are available.

In my case unless I was maintaining highway speed 70 and up. I automatically put it in M5 and left it there. At 72 mph about the only time it was in cylinder deactivation was down hill, not much exhaust sound there. I bought a caned tune and eliminated the V-4 altogether. I’m not going to buy a cylinder deactivation truck again, but if I did I would be hesitant to do a tune.

I have the cutout system shown at the beginning of the post and mine sounds great when idling and when driving at all speeds.  Mine does not make the choking/chopping sound that you mentioned.  There is very little drone and I barely notice it.  I also have no flapper valves since the cutout is dumping before them.

Interesting, may need to share this with the muffler shop mechanic. So, no choking at all regardless of RPM? Wondering if the 6.2/10 speed makes it worse.

Nope, no choking.  As mentioned, there is a little drone when cruising at certain speeds but not enough to bother me.  It could have something to do with the 10 speed, as the 5.3 and 6.2 are the same engine essentially just the 6.2 has a larger stroke and larger piston bore.  It could also be the resonators that might be choking out your higher flowing magnaflow muffler.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      I finally got it to start. It was a mix of a few issues. The frame ground was in bad shape so I ran a new one and cleaned up the area to get a good connection then covered it in rust reformer then bed liner to keep it as clean as possible. The other ground I found that looked suspect was on the frame toward the back of the truck near the bed. I did the same. After pulling the fuse box out from the engine bay I found a couple of wires that looked like at some point mice may have got ahold of it. That was an easy fix. After that i was able to get control power and was able to trace down a few more connections going to the other fuse panels in the cab. After that it finally started up and runs. It sounds like an angry school bus which I can work with. No OBD2 codes, but I think since its set for a long time I should pull the turbo and get it rebuilt or swapped out, but for now im good to go. Thanks for all the advice. It got me on the right track.
