It’s amazing the amount of weight reduction you get when ditching the stock exhaust... between the 2 flappers, giant muffler and two resonators. I held onto my old parts for a couple weeks and then scrapped them. Too big and heavy to have sitting around!

Awesome, how do you like it? Any drone at highway speeds? If you had to do it again, would you have made the same purchase? 

It has a little drone between 1500 and 1700 rpms. Not bad but it does have some. The only thing that annoys me some is you can hear the dfm. I am assuming because of the deeper tone you can hear it more than a corsa or gm performance exhaust. I would put it in a medium range for overall volume but sound is very subjective I'm sure some would call it loud and others would say it is quiet.

Thanks for the info, I really like the unique sound. I placed my order.

 

Update: Just finished the install of the exhaust, on the ground, by myself and it wasn't too terrible. I decided to cut the pipe, there is no way it would come out in one piece on the ground. 

 

Sounds amazing, and it was a cold start to boot.

What do you think of the exhaust after having it for a little while? I really like the tone of the afe.

My 6.2l is the same. 3.5” through the muffler to 2.75” duals that are split over the axle.

 

So the stock muffler is 3.5” in and out??

I do not know that for sure. My GMPP exhaust is but it came installed on the truck when purchased.

Pulling this one back out of the archives.... how does everyone that installed the AFE feel about it after running it for a while? I'm leaning towards this exhaust since I like the deep tone and it sounds a bit louder but not as loud as some other systems that I have heard.

I really like mine. Personally I'm not a big fan of a raspy muffler delete type of sound. I like a exhaust to have a more refined controlled type of tone. The afe deffinetly has a nice deep tone.

Just got this installed ~1 week ago. It is perfect for me. Not too loud but definitely know it's there.  If gm performance exhaust is 5/10 loud this would be 6.5/10 and S-type would be 7/10 loud. Sounds better than the Borla S-Type IMO. As another user stated it is not raspy sounding, but instead just straight up deep and mean!

 

Zero to little drone. If there is any, i'm not noticing it!

 

Not sure why this isn't a more popular option, but it def should be!

Hey all I'm also thinking about going with the same set up. Just wondering if anyone added the afe y pipe to the system aswell? If so would it possibly make the system louder?

Ive had mine installed for about 3 weeks now and I love it.

 

Super deep tone kinda like an old school big block sound.

 

The facebook clip on page one is the best representation of what it sounds like that I have found.

Put the AFE upgraded Apollo GT muffler on. Left the flapper before the muffler.  There is a little drone at 55-65mph but the sound is nice deep tone.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
