You know all these exhaust sound different in person? Remember your requirements of not waking the kid up at start up and also being able to go hunting. 

IME, anything other than a Borla touring muffler would wake kids up and also not be conducive for hunting unless you are trying to flush all the game out of the woods into an awaiting ambush.

I'm running a muffler delete and range AFM to stop the kickdown to v4 and the horrible drone/helicopter sound. Very happy with the sound, quite quiet when you want to cruise, smash on it, you really hear it, not over bearing or wake up the whole neighborhood loud either.  I'll try and post a quick video later.

What's your budget?

I picked up a Borla S Type catback system for $900 off eBay. Not too loud but not as quiet as the touring setups. Sounds perfect to me and looks good too.

Add a Range AFM disabler to eliminate any drone whatsoever for $189 and your good to go

Thanks everyone. I'm looking at the Borla, Flowmaster and Corsa. Now deleteing the V4. Is that expensive or hard? And does it mess with the truck at all? I had an 06 before this so this whole V8 to V4 is new to me. I'd love to get rid of it

To disable AFM just shift into manual mode and select gear 5 if you have the 6 speed.  Like magic, no more V4, and it won't cost you a dime!

Works great. Borla is top quality.

Yes it does cost . Because you are running at higher rpm's especially on the interstate. Sucking more gas than you need to.

Price of gas has gone up about 75 cents a gallon since the beginning of the year in my area. $2.70 a gallon now.

Shift into Drive for interstate travel. My truck rarely sees V4 mode at 70mph - 75mph. Not using any more gas than you just by shifting into drive.

Mine would run in V4 more than yours then. Probably 30% of the time it would be in V4 . Sometimes for miles at a time on a flat stretch.

Do you still have stock exhaust?

I do. Would like to change it for something a bit more aggressive but not so loud you can't listen to music or have a conversation. 

Looking at the Flowmaster American Thunder series with duals straight out the back. 

What about you?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
