Had the muffler and flapper removed on my 2020 Custom Trail Boss. Love the sound!

I think someone mentioned it further up in the conversation. Probably start with covering one on each side at a time. Its not hard to remove if you dont like it.

Covered my single outlet exhaust using 2.75" Exhaust sleeves (link below) on my 2020 Chevy Silverado with 5.3 V8. Here are three sound clips with stock, 2 mesh resonators covered, and 3 mesh resonators covered. I purchased the exhaust sleeves on amazon for about $10 a piece.

Here’s a video with sound clips of stock, 2 front mesh resonators covered and all 3 covered:

Does anyone know if the duals are also 2.75”?

@RST Mike thanks for the recommendation. I got them off of eBay for $7 each and covered all 6. Haven’t driven it yet to see the difference but I’m sure I’ll get a little bit more sound from it. The only thing I will say is you really have to tighten them down a lot to get it snug and the bolts are long and visible. I tried to hide it as much as possible and out of the way.

Looks good! I agree you do have to tighten down a lot and bolts are pretty long. At least it’s under the truck where you can’t see it too easy. Curious to hear your opinion on sound.

I’ll report back once I’ve driven on it for a bit. I also have a Borla ProXS muffler prior to doing this.

No I left that part on so it tones down on the hwy with light throttle.

2019 Sierra 5.3. I have clamped the flapper open and taped/covered the screens up. I am super happy with the sound and have been asked what exhaust I was running. They are surprised when I tell them it is factory exhaust lol. The only thing I do not like is that you can see the tape through the fender well when standing beside the truck.

I’m surprised on how much more noise it gives. It’s actually slightly too loud for my taste as a daily. I might start removing one on each side closest to the front and see how that goes. It’s definitely louder and more aggressive.

I would imagine it should tone it down a bit the more you remove. I notice a more throaty sound from stock which is just about perfect with the stock muffler.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
