For $500 seems like a great deal.

Reviews look excellent on the exhaust. my only concern would be cabin drone.  And its not 304 stainless its just 409 so it will oxidize and rust on the service.

 

I'm a huge Gibson exhaust fan.  Its built same way, I had it in my 2018 6.2L Sierra and it sounded amazing.  Got tons of compliments and I got it for $487 though autoanything and 1 year price match guarantee 

 

Wish they made it for my 19, but I have standard bed and they only make short bed.

 

Good luck with your choice of exhaust

Is there any clips of this exhaust to hear what it sounds like?

Yeah I saw some videos with it. sounds good.  Its not loud and obnoxious, just the right amount of rumble.  Reviews say the drone is minimal also.

I'd say give it a shot.  It's your truck and of u like the sound.   The price is excellent.  I am having hard time spending $1400 or more for a corsa right now.  They are only ones that make exhaust for standard bed.  Not a fan of flowmaster or magnaflow... to much drone for me.  

I just got off phone with gibson and they are still a few weeks out on exhaust for standard bed.  Same with Borla S type, but they are still around $1300.

Yeah I had a Flowmaster 40 series on another truck and it had bad drone.  The price is the thing, I don't want to drop 1-2k on a exhaust. My goal is to add a little rumble and get rid of the stock tips.

I just installed this on my 2020 TB with 5.3. My son and I did it in our garage. The fit is quite good overall. The tips look awesome. The sound is really nice. Deep rumble, not too loud. You get a little of the decel pop sometimes when it downshifts which sounds good. There is some drone in the cabin which isn’t bad at all (only slightly more than the more expensive Corsa cat backs I’ve had). There is some of the “helicopter drone” that the flapper in the stock exhaust is supposed to prevent. 
 

overall, I would do it again, for $500 it’s a good deal.

Definitely going to do this. Thanks!

The rough country system is just a knock off flowmaster American thunder series cat-back.  They both use the super 40 muffler, I ran mine for a week before I removed the muffler.  It didn't sound bad by any means but it was too quiet for me.  The drone was minimal.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
