How does one delete or get rid of the flapper? 

Any muffler shop can get rid of them and weld pipes back in their place, especially if you plan on removing or replacing the muffler. A good aftermarket catback system will also take care of the flappers. I'll say this - there's an incredible difference in the way these trucks drive with the flappers gone. I did the muffler delete and left the flappers and have since moved to the Corsa catback system. It's a different truck now.

Installed a borla atak cat back.

You can lock them in the open position to get a bit more sound but that wont completely remove the restriction. To remove it without doing something like a cat back would requiring cutting that section of the pipe out and welding in a new piece.

Although if a cat back fits your budget there are many other benefits over just removing the flapper.

I had two on my 2020 6.2L Trail Boss LT.  I deleted the muffler and both flappers, it was too loud so I put one back and now it's perfect.

Does anyone else notice this noise when in 4 cyl or less than 8 cyl mode?  Wondering if it is due to the flapper or flappers.  Edit:  Not my truck, found this on another thread, but sounds just like mine.

I have a 2021 Trail Boss 6.2 and I only had one flapper before the muffler. This is what I did to get rid of mine. I cut all the 3" out and replaced it with a 3.5" Vibrant 304ss muffler and 304ss tubing. I debated getting the Borla touring cat back but I had a hard time justifying the cost. Plus i wanted to keep the resonators.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By dieselfan1 · Posted

      2026 3500HD.  Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open  Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
