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

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.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
