I had the Borla touring exhaust on my 2016 LTZ with the 6.2 and it was good. No drone at all and sounded good. Changed the tips to 18” and slid the pipe further in the tip and it quieted it down to where I liked it

 Who is making the GM cat-back systems they are putting in the 19s? Is it Borla or Corsa? I have it as a dealer installed option. Sounds great by the way. Too old and stupid to give you a soundtrack. Anyone know?

Did you order it that way from the factory or have it put on at the dealership? Is there any drone in the cab?

It is made by Borla.  talked to rep and he said its the Touring muffler, Made specifically for GM. They re working on 2 others but haven't quite got the sound they are looking for. AFM is giving them a hard time

Is it loud or just has a good tone? Any drone in the cabin?

No drone at all. A little loud at startup. Moderately quiet until you put your foot in it. I like it. Many other here do too. There are some sound bites around. Hate to say it, but it reminds me a little of the Ram exhaust note.  Of course, nothing sounds better than a GM smallblock.

Sorry. No can do. I'm a dinosaur with a flip phone. I have not felt the AFM at all. Nothing funny about the sound.

Just had the factory Borla exhaust put on my 2019 Sierra Denali with the 6.2. Too loud for me when getting on the throttle. Going  to have to try and find something that has a deep sound but that want blow you out of the truck when you get down on it.

Hello all. 
The GM Performance systems for the 2019 Silverados are indeed made by Borla. They are made according to GM's specifications and are separate from the aftermarket Borla systems. 
 
Thank you all for your input so far! Unfortunately, we will not have any videos/sound clips until we release our parts. Sorry! Also, we do plan to offer systems that will retain the use of the factory tips and systems with quad tips. 

Hey Ian, any updates you can provide at this time?

Had resonators installed prior to the tips and made a big difference. Still sounds good when yiu get on it, no drone in the cab but not as loud as it was. Louder than factory though

As I have stated in my original post on this thread, we will be offering systems that work with the factory valance tips. However, we are also planning to offer systems with quad tips. We did want to get your feedback regarding which chrome tip style you would prefer, Round or Square. 

Systems will also be offered with Round Black Chrome Tips and Round Carbon Fiber Tips(both tip styles not pictured).

 

Here are some photos of the Round Chrome and Square Chrome tips. Please let us know what you think of these.

 

We did also make a poll thread here specifically discussing the round and square tip styles. Link:

Ian, I’m a fan of the square tips you show in the pics. This body style has some sharp transitions that would be complimented by the square tips better than the round tips...in my opinion.

I would like to see the carbon tips made available.  I'm having trouble finding sound clips to hear the difference this makes.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
