I had a Gibson on my '13 6.2l and it was a nice sound. Definitely not loud but gave it a nice throaty sound, no drone on the highway at all.

Also, auto anything has this for $493.00 if you want it cheaper.

I dont know much about Gibson, but looking at the youtube videos, it seems pretty quiet, better than stock, but not by much.  Just depends on what kind of sound you want.  But for the price you cant beat it.  Although I think I am leaning toward the flowmaster super 44, muffler is only $100 plus cost to install it.  I may eventually redo all the pipe for 3" and get rid of the screen pipe resonator to make it louder.  but to save money up front might just swap out the muffler.  The 44 has a nice deep tone to it, makes it sound like a real v8 truck.

isn't there a factory option for some cat-backs on the AT4?  I thought they were Gibson .. shouldn't be hard to find someone on here with that from the factory.   There was a least one on the lot the other day when I was shopping, I drove one in fact.

I have the factory cat back on my AT4, but it’s still very mild.  GM has a Performance exhaust “upgrade”, but I haven’t heard what that sounds like.  I want to upgrade mine to either GM, Borla or Corsa.  Borla is not showing anything on their website yet for the 2019’s.

You either have the stock exhaust, or the GM performance cat back. The GM cat back can be ordered from the factory in the performance package with CAI, or dealer installed. Since you say mild, you probably have just the stock exhaust which is basically silent.

 

Corsa has one for the 5.3. Neither Borla or Corsa have anything yet for the 6.2. There are lots of vids on YouTube of the GM catback. I have it and love it. It’s actually really loud for a “factory part.” Supposedly it’s made by Borla but it’s not branded anywhere.

You are correct.  I mis-spoke.  I have the factory dual exhaust.  Should not have stated cat back...

Gibson is a great brand.  Surprised they were first to market. 

 

Im a Cosra guy, but am planning on going Borla as I need a quieter exhaust as I will probably upset the wife if I wake the kids up every time I get called to work in the middle of the night. 

 

Whichever one I end up with, my plan is to get it on the Dyno at a Local GM performance shop. Base Run, then with their new intake for our trucks, and then with intake and exhaust.

I have the ‘19 Sierra Black Widow. They don’t tell you the performance exhaust that comes on it. I’m being told that it’s a Gibson exhaust. Does anyone have any knowledge on this type of exhaust or is it comparable to the Borla attack?

I saw a 19 Silverado SCA Black Widow edition at a local dealership and it had a Gibson exhaust on it. The name was on the muffler.

Just listened to a Black Widow with the Gibson Exhaust at my local dealer too. Sounds pretty good. Anyone know if there's any interior drone on these? looks like the website acknowledges that there is some.

I have had Gibson exhaust on previous trucks and they did not drone. I cant say for sure they were 100% drone free but they are not known for drone. They are a pretty tame exhaust. They did make a super truck exhaust that exited before the rear wheels that was louder and had some drone but their full length exhaust is much quieter. I have not heard a system on a T1 truck yet but I would assume they are similar to the previous yrs.

The Gibson exhausts are pretty tame. I didn't have done on the single side exhaust and I've been in trucks with their dual exhaust. No drone. Some guys will think it's a bit too mild though.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
