Was wondering if anyone has had the Borla Atak or Type S welded in, not the full catback, on their 6.2L.  I'm guessing some of you have, and for those that have, are you happy with it?  Sound clips would also be great.

 

I'm just looking to change up the sound, so I'm not wanting to swap in a full catback.

I have on a previous generation truck. I put a Borla XR-1 3" welded in place of the stock muffler on a 5.3L Silverado and was very happy, deep tone, nice growl at WOT, no drone, and not obnoxiously loud. 

 

I can't speak from experience on the 2019+ trucks but if it was me I would swap the muffler and see how you like it. If it's still too quiet you can delete resonator down the road. Someone has to go first... right?

I have no problem going first, just figured someone had done it by now on a 2019... but looks like your right, i'll go first!

Pretty sure that you get an increased exhaust pipe diameter with the full catbacks. You go from 2.75" all the way back to 3" at least to the muffler and then 3" to the tailpipes. 

 

I do think on the 5.3L GMPE/Borla systems, it's 3" in and 2.75" out, though.

Nobody has just welded in a muffler?  Everyone is getting full catbacks ? 

Pretty sure probably 10s of thousands have lol. I did . Just not a Borla .

Lol well I'm not sure that many on the 2019+ Sierras, but I'm well aware I wouldn't be the first to weld in a muffler, but I assumed at least one person has welded in Borlas before I do lol

The Crate mufflers from Borla are a bit steep.

I just put the borla pro xs on my truck. It’s nice up until 60-70 then it’s a bit of droning. I love it except between that speed especially on an incline then It resonates a bit.

How is the XS when your cruising along on highway? Drone still noticeable?

When cruising fairly flat roads it’s pretty tame. Hit a hill and it’s pretty louder in the cabin. Cruising around town is great

I welded in a borla S type 3” or 3.5” in/out muffler only. Kept the resonators. Very similar to the gm performance exhaust. No drone. Can only tell that the DFM is working when your outside the truck and it’s idling away. Other than that it’s a nice deep subtle growl till you open it up

Great, what I was hoping to hear.  Prefer the sound of the S or ATAK as it seems to be louder than the XS, but was worried about cabin noise

Cabin drone is very minimal. Kinda nice with the new truck. If you removed the resonators it would sound good and a little loud but I’m sure the drone would pick up

I  was planning on just cutting out the stock muffler and flapper, leaving the resonators for warranty purposes.  I do agree would probably sound better without though.  I would simply go muffler delete but then my dealership would not honour my warranty if I did however.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
