The Flowmaster is definitely much louder than the Magnaflow. Even without the flappers, the Magnaflow sound was pretty tame. I think the Flowmaster with flappers will still be a bit louder than the GM performance exhaust. The GM performance exhaust is really tame. 

That’s what I figured. So, is the Magnaflow 12909 the one for the 5.3? Also, did you go with a single exit or a dual split?

Both the 12909 and 11229(that i have) are single exits. I'm not sure about the 5.3 but on the 6.2, factory piping is single-in, single-out, you can see in the pictures in my post. It seems the 12909 is a much bigger muffler than the 11229. What I have been told is that generally, the bigger the muffler, the quieter the sound. The 12909 with both flappers might end up too quiet for you. If you go with the 12909, you could probably just try with one flapper first. 

 

I ordered the Gibson Part #: GPE-65692. I got it heavily discounted for $450 so i figured why not. I like my current setup but sometimes it seems a bit too quiet. If i end up not liking the Gibson, i'll go to my old setup.

I like the true dual system. Will there be a touring or Atak version or just the S type?

Is the piping 2.75”?

Unfortunately, we will only have the S-Type sound level for the True Dual system.

 

Yes, the pipe diameter is dual 2.75".

So since you wouldn't answer my email, how come there is no exhaust showing on you website for a Crew cab standard box (6.5ft). I mostly see these trucks with a longer box than the short one.  Thanks

Is there a notable sound or performance difference for the True Dual System compared to the 1 to 2 design? 

 

Thanks!!

On a stock vehicle, the performance difference is negligible. The sound is a little bit different. The dB levels are identical, but the true dual system has a warmer tone. Overall, it will still sound like our typical S-Type system for the Silverado/Sierra.

I'm sorry, I don't believe I have received an email from you. My email address is [email protected]. Unfortunately, I don't have an update regarding the Crew Cab with the Standard Box. We have not brought one in to our R&D facility, but I'm quite sure that we will offer systems for that wheelbase as we did with the previous generation.

Not by the looks of the rendering or the install instructions. 



The muffler itself may act as an x pipe. Haven’t seen one up close yet but considering ordering

wish i had known a true dual setup was coming.... fml.

 

@Borla can we get some 6.2 s-type true dual sound clips?  

 

you describe it as "warmer"  can you get into any more detail?  i would imagine this setup has a fairly large impact on the tone.

 

my current 140773 / split s-type honestly doesnt sound that great. the exhaust note is too sharp and is horribly mono-tone as the engine runs through the rpms.  just a constant rumble... rushed into market?

ended up ordering the dual setup.... .

 

should have it in 2-4 days,  i'll install and post a sound clip the day i get it.

FYI, received this from Borla after Ian responded regarding questions about the True Duals.

There is not much in the way of performance gains on a stock vehicle over our regular system, the true dual is geared towards increased potential for vehicles that have further modifications than stock. The sound quality on a single vs true dual is not different. An S-type sounds like an S-type etc.

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
