I'm another with the GMPP exhaust, but I also have the GMPP CAI too. It's quiet while crossing at highway speed, but put the throttle down and it rumbles to life. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapata

Pretty sure the GMPE and the Borla Touring are exactly the same.  Regardless I love my GMPE.  Growls to life on a cold start but isn't going to wake the neighbors.  My daughter tells me she likes it w

Essentially the same thing.... I'd go with Borla personally.  And S-type over Touring... Perfect amount of low tones.

Maybe someone can correct me but i think the Borla is a little louder then the GM Perf. Muffler?  Here is my uncles truck with the GM PERF Exhaust and Intake.

I put the Borla touring on and am very happy with it. I wanted something just a little louder than the factory but not noticeable when cruising. I choose it over the GMPP mainly because of price.

They are very similar. I have the GM version and Im happy with it. Can’t go wrong with either if you are looking for a more mild sound upgrade.

Very happy with the GM performance exhaust on my 6.2. loud deep cold start, great V8 growl when I step on it, but not loud at cruise. Little rumble while towing, but not bad at all.

borla makes the gm performance exhaust, i was thinking that it is a re stamped s type but it might be the touring ( it was a few months back when i was looking into the exhaust). if you go with the s type it is the same as the atak. the difference is the secondary muffler on the s type behinde the primary and polyphonic harmonizer behindthe muffler on the atak.

Have the Borla Touring . Rotfab Intake. 5.3. Mainly went with the Borla because of the price. Love the sound. Still getting 20 mpg highway. Cruse set at 76mph.

I went with the Corsa Dual Sport Exhaust today. Pulled the plug on it. I wanted the sound to be a bit louder than GM's performance exhaust. I called Borla today on their S-type but they don't have it for a Crew Cab standard bed. I had Gibson on my last truck and loved that deep tone it had, but they also don't offer it for my truck. So I went with Corsa, and after research I think I will be happy.(Fingers Crossed)

Had a 10% COUPON code so I got the exhaust for $1300 and my S & B CAI is still on back order, supposed to be here August 15th. So $1650 in all for both.   

My buddy has always put Corsa on all his vehicles, and I have enjoyed the sound from them.

Can only comment on the GM Performance Exhaust. I would recommend it if looking for a better sound over stock. It really sounds great when you get on it in sport mode. Then hardly noticable on hwy speeds.

So which one is better between S-type and Atak.  I want a low mean rumble. Worried the S-type will be to quite and the Atak will be too loud lol.  6.2L if that matters.

I have the GMPP exhaust and intake on a 6.2L and I like the sound like others are saying...loud-ish at start-up and acceleration but quiet cruising.

 

I often think about possibly switching to the S-type for a bit more sound...but the wife and kids may not like it...

Honestly I really enjoy the Atak. If it is too loud you and add the second muffler and turn it into the s type

I had my GMPE installed a little over a week ago. I love the sound. It's really perfect for me. 

 

However, this is my first exhaust system on a truck, and I cannot tell if what I am hearing is drone or just the exhaust itself? Around 1500-1800 RPM cruising between 65-80mph, it really has this steady hum to it when you're driving on relatively flat roads, but with slight inclines. 

 

You can hear it here around 40 seconds - but listen to the first 40 seconds to get a perspective for the cabin sound before the "drone-ish" sound comes in.

      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.
