Has anyone got their hands on the Borla catback exhaust system on the 2020 HD gas yet? It looks like it's backordered thru GMC accessories and the Borla website still has it as "coming soon"? Does it take that long to design an exhaust system or are they just selling out faster than they can make them? ?

how do these things sound on big 6.6?.....i heard 5.3s with exhaust and sound pretty beefy so have to believe even more so on these....any benefits in power/torque, MPG, or just pretty much sound......have to believe there is some performance gain.......there was when i ran them on mx bikes anyway

Not sure if just their recording devices suck or what, but I swear the 6.6 sounds better in every clip than the new For 7.3l

 

Doesn't really make sense why because they're both old style pushrod v8s

How did you get the Borla exhaust for your 6.6L gas?  The website still has coming soon?

In mid July the Borla site said coming soon but I had emailed them and was told they were expecting it to be available in early August so I went ahead and ordered it from the GMC accessories site to be shipped direct to my local dealer for install and they received the exhaust the first week of August. Maybe there is a shortage of supply?

Checked with Borla and was told “several months”!!! But, GMC accessories sells an exhaust which is made by Borla for the 6.6. Not sure if the version made for GM is more similar to touring, sport or ATAK.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
