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

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
