Any one have any decibel  readings inside the cab at highway speeds?   I went thru a headache with my 2014 and a borla s type being too loud.  How's the loudness with towing?

Mine is nearly silent at highway speeds.  I've got about 500mi on it over the last week.  A hell of a lot quieter at cruising than my Corsa on my 2016 5.3.  I'll measure decibels on my phone but I don't have a way to calibrate it / confirm it.

The exhaust isn’t obnoxious at all but certainly a noticeable difference over the stock exhaust which is basically silent at all engine speeds.   If I’m honest, it was a little louder than I

Curious On this . These “Catback” exhaust systems are just that, from the cat back replaced. why pay all that money to replace GMs OEM piping which is already stainless!   The only

I agree on it not being that noticeable at highway speeds. I have had my 2020 AT4 Carbonpro with the offroad performance package for about a month and it's great as I have to make a lot of phone calls while I am on the road. Much more noticeable at startup and during acceleration.

Just had mine put on a couple days ago.  GM Performance intake and exhaust.  There was a noticeable increase in acceleration to me.  The exhaust is a little louder when accelerating but when cruising the exhaust sound is lost in the road noise.

Good insight.  I just don’t want to repeat my last mistake with an exhaust that was too loud

I had a Flowmaster muffler on my 2007 GMC with the 5.3 and it was much louder than this. I think this is a good blend of sound and performance for daily driving while not being excessively loud.

Just installed Borla touring 140767 factory tips retained. 2020 RST 5.3 . Rotfab intake.  Install was easy. First impressions it very quite. Start up seem quieter then my factory exhaust with the flapper clamped open and screens taped over. The muffler is larger then the factory's.  I only really drove it around a few blocks after install. Exceleration sound great. Way better then factory. Has a nice tone to it. Not to loud,  just right.  Foot slightly on the gas you can't even hear it. Highway is going to be quite for sure. I was torn between the Corsa and this. I was afraid the Corse might be to loud. All the video's  for them sound great. I quess I will never know now. I didn't want anything to loud. The pipes are larger and smother then factory all they way back to the tips. No more stupid flapper. I'm happy.

I just ordered the Performance exhaust and CAI through GMC accessories for my 2020 6.2 -though it did say that there is a 7-10 day back order. I was looking at GM sellers that gave discounts and what the shipping would be. Also knowing that putting the CAI on myself would mean taking it to the dealer for the computer update.

When I was on the GMC accessories site, it showed a discount based on how much you spend -which ends June 30th.  

Long story short, I bought them both with a 20% discount and no shipping cost, plus I'm having them shipped to the dealer to install -TOTAL INSTALLED cost for everything is $2,200.00, which IMO is pretty good.

Does the aftermarket  GM performance exhaust have an option for using factory tips? My dealer said there was no GM Borla option that used factory valance tips but clearly those from the factory do.  I’m in a 2020 SLT X31 5.3L 10 sp

Yes.  That is how mine was installed.  IIRC, it's $100-$150 less than with the fancy tips.

The GM factory duel exhaust exits through the bumper like the original -there are no tips on either with this bumper.

Just a follow-up at 4000 miles I had the cai installed on my AT4 6.2 I let the dealership do it so if there was a problem it would be on them.That be said my truck doesn't feel like it's stopped up it breathes and runs better and seems to be not as load. My gas mileage on the hwy went up getting 20 to 21 mpg at 75 t o 78 mh city about 16 average yes I'd  do it again very happy with it. Get my best mileage with shell or none ethanol gas

That's really good mileage.  I just have over 1000 miles on my 6.2 Max Tow.  Today and yesterday  was the first time I had any reasonable amount of miles

on the freeway.  At 72 mph I am 20-21 mpg when I can find a few miles of the freeway without too many hills.  At 64 I am 21.5 - 22.5.  I have also found the that the DIC reported mpg is spot on with hand calculated.  I have one size larger tires than factory (LT 275-65R18)

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
