Have the borla Touring . When I first installed it . Going on the highway up slight long inclines for a good distance you will here a hum that sounds like a drone. Which I would say it is. I was like what have I done to my new truck.  But I got used to it really fast. It just fads away over time. Love the sound when I get on it.  You will get used to it.

Thanks. Yeah, I love the whole system and sound overall. And I’ve already noticed the hum/drone/whatever has started to lessen. It seems that it’s not as prevalent when the truck is cooler, too. ??‍♂️
 

But I’ve read that some of the faint droning does go away on these, if you have it.

I have the Borla touring exhaust and really like it. Mainly purchased it due to price over GM. Stealer-ship wanted $2200 , while the Borla was $1500 installed locally. Definitely notice a slight drone at 65-70 but I'm getting used to it. I've got 1,000 miles on it and seems like the tones of the exhaust are getting better. Noticeable difference when i switch from touring to sport mode, which is great.

I haven't been around a 6.2 with either of these exhaust systems yet to hear how they sound in person.  Has anyone heard them in comparison to the Toyota TRD Performance dual exhaust?  I had this on my last tundra with the 5.7 and was wondering how the GMPE compared in tone and volume to the TRD exhaust?

If you live in San Diego I can demonstrate it for you

Lol, I wish brother.  Unfortunately I'm right smack in the middle of the country.  Field trip? ?‍♂️

I just completed one, so it's your turn, lol. I just moved from Virginia to California.

I believe the GMPE and the Borla Touring are the EXACT same systems.  Also, I do not hear any drone at all in mine.  The sound I hear in the video above is nothing more than exhaust "sound?  Drone is caused by a certain frequency resonating in the cab.

I would just get a Borla CrateMuffler.  I got the Atak CrateMuffler for $250.  According to Borla they are only made for Crate engines like small block Chevy 350 and 383 but it sounds great to me and no drone.  Cold start is loud but other than that it quiets down quiet a bit.  No drone and very tame on the highway and even in the city unless you punch it a little.

Anyone with the 6.2 done the Active Noise Cancellation calibration?  I've read there is a calibration for the GM Performance Exhaust since the 6.2 has ANC and curious if anyone has done this and if the dealer would be familiar with it?  Mine is still on backorder so once it comes in I'm going to ask the dealer about ANC calibration.   I assume this would help with any drone?

I’m curious about this too because it seems like mostly the 6.2 guys having drone.

Nope, it was never done on mine when I had it installed, never heard of anyone else getting it on a T1, haven’t even seen it referenced in the listings for the T1 catbacks. Just the K2s.

Just noticed it a bit for the first time the other night on the highway. Didn’t really bother me that much. Was mild enough to forget about it after noticing. I think I had to turn down the radio to even figure out what it was. Haha 

 

6.2 with the Touring here as well. Totally love the exhaust overall. Wouldn’t change a thing.

    • 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?
