Not at all actually, it's not any louder than stock except when you start it or unless you get into the gas pedal and I don't hear it at all on the highway.

My experience  is similar. On the throttle it sounds good but I barely notice it at normal cruising speeds/RPMs. If you’re towing and get in the 3-4000 RPM range, it would likely be noticeable but not objectionable. Louder than expected from Chevy; probably similar to Borla Sport series but not as aggressive at ATAK.

Does anyone know off hand how many MyReward points it takes to buy this? I was looking on the accessories site and I can get it in the cart, but there isn’t an option to even use any, if not all points on it.

I don't know the exact points required but as a point of reference, I just cashed in 20,000 points = $100

I am excited, I just ordered this system today for my 2021.

 

Have you noticed an improvement or decrease in gas mileage?

Model sold by GM is close to the Borla sold Touring sound level, very mellow. This is direct from Borla - which is why I'm going to wait for Borla to release the Sport exhaust, can't imagine it will be much longer now.

The above is just like Spangled's

I had my Chevy dealer install it yesterday 

I could not be happier guys. She sounds awesome!

This was a warm start too, right after driving 50 miles.

If it will quit raining here, I'll do a Cold Start and some revs.

Hey Spangled and MacLaren:  First, your trucks sound awesome!  Are you still happy after having the extra exhaust sound after a little while?  I am getting ready to order a GMC 3500 and found this in the accessories section of the build and price. Is the the same system that both of you guys installed?  I read something in this thread about a quieter Borla system and want to make sure I don't end up with that!  Thanks for the input.image.thumb.png.fe00697d97b0b57bbb5b99a1832c215b.png

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
