Gonna be picking up a pulsar lt at the end of the week after payday, and likely a cold air induction cai next week. Which will leave the final project, how to make this damn thing not sound like a sewing machine. Not expecting major gains, or wanting it to be ungodly loud being I get home from work at 2:30am, but want some sound and hear it when my right foot hits the rug. But don’t want to blow $1500 on a system, which leads me to my question. What is a decent muffler setup that still barks when you punch it. But also sounds good at idle and normal driving? Is it worth to have the resonators chopped and a couple dual tips welded back in its place? And do you ditch the flapper valve thing? Trying to YouTube a bunch of options and kinda hard to get a feel for the true sound from phone recordings. My thought as of now is a super 44 without the flapper, ditch the resonators and have dual black tips welded back in their place. Open to suggestions as it’s gonna be a 3-4 weeks till I get around to it.

The simple muffler delete with the resonators sounds good. I forget what place sells the muffler delete section but it's a straight bolt in after the muffler is removed. There are youtube video's on it.

 

I don't like anything chambered, they never sound good to me. Most flowmasters are chambered.

I have the 5.3L 2019 LT TB and just cut out the muffler and the flapper valve, and had a local muffler shop bend and weld in a length of stainless pipe.  $200 for parts and labor, sounds awesome.

I also did this to my wife's 2018 Z71 Silverado:

How was this after installing? I’m thinking of ordering this as well.

 

I never did it. I ended up getting a smoking deal on a new GMPP (borla touring) system on marketplace, and I went with that. Although I think the Banks muffler would work great! I spoke with the guys at Banks and they said there should be no drone with that muffler.

Exhaust is in the ears of the beholder. I was lucky in finding an excellent bender 40 years ago. I guess I’m tainted by that. I would start with a delete, leaving the resonators. Prior to my 58th birthday that would have been it. After that I would have gone with more of a touring muffler. My latest I left stock, first time ever. Buying a full exhaust seems wasteful. But I was blessed with finding an excellent bender.

My truck came with the GMPP which I think is the Borla touring exhaust.  It's alright, but I prefer the Corsa touring exhaust that I had on my 2003 Yukon several years back.  This exhaust is quieter at cruising speeds, but the Corsa sounded nicer on acceleration.  If a new Corsa exhaust was quieter at cruise and sounded the same at WOT then I'd get that.

You are talking about a pipe bender? Maybe I need to visit my relatives in Montgomery and come borrow that...

That would be in Conroe North Frazer just pass the McDonald’s on the right going north. He recently sold the business, was called Auto Pro. They still do exhaust. I’ve had dozens done their.

Oh I thought you meant a machine

 

But I actually think I might know that guy...

Yes, an exhaust pipe bending machine. If you’re from the area everyone does. He did classics and dealer exhaust.

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?
