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.

      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.

      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.
