Internet provider might not have gotten paid after the cost of installing the Borla. 
 

Should’ve used beer cans like the rest of us... ??‍♂️

I can’t imagine spending the $1000 or so on a Borla system just to replace factory stainless steel mandrel bent pipe. 

 

That’s a lot of money for more noise and no performance gains.

You sir had me going. It was a good chuckle. So I crawled my old ass under my truck and noticed that the 6.2 exhaust has 2 of these flapper valves and not screens.

So I just tried this free mod. Absolutely no difference in tone with the 6.2. Looks like I’m gonna have to crack open my wallet

The 6.2's do not have the screens, and I agree, I opened both flaps and there is no noticeable difference in sound.

I was a little disapointed when nothing happened lol

As was I ?

So I have had a question about the screen blocking.  I'm kinda afraid to ask, because I'm not trying to be a smartass and be partaking in the above argument.  For what it's worth I'm all for cheap mods.  I'd replace or delete a muffler before I paid big money for an aftermarket exhaust system...

So does exhaust flow through the screens everybody is blocking off?  If so, wouldn't blocking the screens off kinda  be restricting exhaust flow?

I would say the exhaust is dispersed/muffled by the screens. By blocking it my guess would believe it’s pushing more direct exhaust out the rear giving a deeper tone. Just a guess

Half assed scientific guestimate but it probably creates some drag/back pressure that does like said above and slows the exhaust gases down.

Anyone knows why GM installed this system in the first place. The flapper doodad sounds like to add restriction and I thought more flow is better?!

Also, does this mod effect mpg?

Thanks!

Sound reduction and I bet the baffles are cheaper than the older resonators. 

 

The flappers are just proof that more people would complain about the occasional odd exhaust noise than would notice the bit of performance loss they cause.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
