Stock 2014 6.2 V8 exhaust

[Ty Howry]

I have a 2014 6.2 v8 Silverado LTZ and I’m putting a new muffler on but after the muffler there is what seems to be a suppressor. Is this this going to effect the sound I get from my muffler if so can e legally remove it? Thank - Ty

Absolutely. It is called a "resonator". Be ready for a good amount on drone after eliminating it. Wont be too bad since you have cats still (I'm assuming) but it'll still drone depending on muffler

I just bought the cherry bomb extreme and I’m looking for a good deep sound but I don’t want to harm my truck in any way. Sorry for probably obvious questions I am just starting to work on my truck myself. Thanks

You will still get a good tone with your new muffler. If you are doing the work yourself at home, I would install the muffler and drive it and see. If its not loud enough for you then pull the resonator but as mentioned prepare to have drone at lower rpm cruising speeds. My last truck had drone after my muffler install, I would get a migraine after a 3 hour drive, a contributing factor in making me decide to trade it in.

Ok one last problem... my current stock muffler is about 2 feet while my new muffler is only a foot long and a half an inch to small as my exhaust pipe is 3 inches and the muffler is 2 1/2 inches. Is there any way to get the extra foot a inner and do something to fit the muffler on snug without going to the muffler shop and getting a custom add on to the muffler? OR should I return the offset for a center / center with a 3 inch inlet and then take it for the foot addition that it needs to connect? Whichever would be cheapest but not sacrificing quality.

What you're trying to do looks like a job for a muffler shop. They shouldn't charge you more than maybe $200 for that. It's pretty straightforward.

Downsizing to a smaller diameter muffler is going in the wrong direction for performance, it seems to me.

its been beaten to death in previous threads. But, you might consider trying just a straight piece of pipe in place of the muffler. Leaving everything else alone. It’s simple, cheap and works just fine for a lot of people.

I had a Magnaflow 12909 or 14909 full stainless welded in and kept the resonator. Had flapper cut out as well. Truck is still quiet but over 3k rpm you can hear magnaflow and it sounds like a proper V8.

 

If you are looking for louder, then get a flowmaster (or summit generic) with the proper offsets. I vote on keeping the resonator since it cuts out the drone. The resonator is straight through and isn't restricting much flow like the factory cats and stock muffler and flapper.

Update:

the cherrybomb came in and looked like it had got ran over so went ahead and sent that back then ordered the Flowmaster super 40 series.

Here are some sound clips from my experience with my truck

 

I have absolutely loved all of them, but they louder than most would like.

 

Surprisingly my truck is really not that loud when driving around
