What sheet metal did you use to cover the resonator screens?

Also what size were the clamps you used for the valve?

 

 

Edit: just read the response on another thread :) 

took a pic and heading to HomeDepot this afternoon.

Anyone have this parts list? Trying not to leave once I have the parts and correct sizes. Thank you guys!

 

EDIT: 2.75inch works. Cut the metal squares in 2.25inchx2.25inch and that worked for me.

So then don’t do it and be on your merry way. Some people like it some don’t. It does change the tone for the better IMO. Carry on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can somebody please explain the purpose of this mod? Sound only? Or performance also? 

That's what I'm wondering too.

Either way it's pretty ghetto. I'd be embarrassed to do something so foolish to a $50,000 truck. I mean c'mon how cheap are you guys? Sad.

Not mad at all.

Just can't believe someone would actually do something so tacky just to make it sound better.

What is tacky about it? It is easily removable, it sounds better and you don't have a muffle shop hacking up the pipes just to put another piece in there. Some people are trying new things just to get a little deeper sound. Good news is... you don't have to do it to your truck.

That's right. I did the correct option and tossed the stock system in the trash and put a Borla Catback on. I'm pretty sure it sounds better than you guys beer can setups.

That's not even a 2019 yo.  You have a $50K truck and those boring plain ass tips sticking out of the back?  Gross.  I'd be embarrassed to be seeing driving that thing down the road.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
