Just had my Magnaflow catback system installed. I has an MF on previous vehicle and loved the deep sound and quality.  Havent had a lot of time on it as  of yet but so far a big improvement in sound.  I didn’t want obnoxious, but wasn't satisfied  with stock.  It is a bit noisier in cab, which  I enjoy as I like the audio confirmation I am running a V8.  I had option to keep HDMI tips but wanted that custom look that the MF provides. They currently only offer chrome tips at this time. 
 

Had installed at a local shop, as pricing for labour was reasonable vs. Aggravation, and broken skin I would be sure to encounter, and they went through hassle of boxing up stock and loading. I am up in Canada and was under $2K installed. 
 

I know with my previous truck with this set up there was a definitive break in sound change so will update in awhile if any noticeable change.   I had a lot of compliments on my other truck as Flowmaster is the popular choice around here and just has a different pitch. I like the deep,  throaty rumble of old school muscle cars and this did not disappoint.

Problem with a loud exhaust is it's always loud, just another in a proverbial sea of loud pickup trucks... shoulda bought 2k Bitcoin instead.

My investment portfolio is just fine, but thanks for your sage advice and concern.  However  I will choose to invest in my local and US economy by supporting the people who work at both companies😉

Part numbers for the MF you installed?

Thanks. 

Magnaflow system catback 2019 Silverado/sierra part number is 19489. DFM sounds still applicable. I was able to clean it up a little bit by running it in sport mode. But the back pressure on the XL gives you a good amount of burble. They are working on the X mod but currently only gotten to the TRX and Ram models at the moment. I am awaiting them to start on the Sierras/Silverado. I never welded my system yet even though I have a slight tick at clamp.  I want to see what parts may be interchangeable. It is loud however. I like it and love the fact that I can hear my intakes screaming for air. Are awaiting the decision on what my options are for working with the system with a new X model or replacing it when it becomes available

So apparently MF is not able to address the DFM as GMC module controls the Cylinders- Or that is jist of info I got. Looks like a programmer is only way to get rid of drone and annoying shift feedback.  Will be looking into that as a problem solver as I can't hold a gear-depending on wind- at highway speed, and the shifting up and down drives me literally bonkers!  Well played fuel efficiency engineers. It works great until it doesn't.

 

I found the efficiency BS drove me bonkers on my previous truck also while using cruise control. I appreciate that GMC at least allows you option to bypass the adaptive cruise, but wish it was a feature you could set and forget, not engage every trip, much like auto off which you also have to push switch for.  but there are a lot of buttons I would love to not have to press in life, just to get on gas!. 🙄

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
