Does it drone at highway speed?  I tow allot and would not want drone for a days drive

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

Warmed up

Sorry for the exhaust blast, it was a little chilly, lol

Still happy?

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
