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.

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

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

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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
