I picked up a 2019 silverado and it is painfully quiet. I want something cheap that a muffler shop can do but still is decently loud. Was thinking muffler delete but not sure, need some advice. Also does taking off the flapper void any kind of warranty?

Cheap?  Toss a Flowmaster on it but understand you will get drone at highway speeds as AFM/DFM kicks in.

Cheap?  Why skimp out on making your truck sound great. Save up for a Catback and the problem is solved. I never quite understand why people go cheap on things when the truck is $30k, $40k all the way up to $70k. It doesn’t make sense to me. I saved up and did it right and bought entire Corsa Catback system for around $1200. One million mile warranty and never have to worry about it rusting out from “cheap” welding at a muffler shop. To each their own I guess

 

Throw glass-packs on it from Amazon. $25 if u want cheap.

Not if you leave your resonators on.

Muffler delete 90 bucks for the pipe online, you can do it in your driveaway or your muffler shop can probably do it cheaper.

Lonestar Hawaiian on youtube has a clip of it and install video.

Cheap???

 

Are you choosing to sacrifice reliability or performance?

 

Sacrifice reliability and it'll cost you more in the end.  Sacrifice performance and your exhaust will sound like the trash it actually is.

 

Reliability and performance are not synonymous with the word "cheap".

I’ve been lucky. Iv used the same exhaust, repair shop for 40 years. Every truck has been there with the exception of my last one. The last one was my 14. I started with delete and added a performance muffler later. I tuned out the cylinder deactivation. So it just had the usual rumble. The sound is a personal experience. As far as expensive mail order. I can’t see the expense. The delete was 40$. The muffler was under 200$. On my trucks prior to my 14 had the split exhaust after the muffler. Usually a few hundred. Maybe I just got lucky and found a good exhaust guy. I can’t imagine spending that kind of money for mail order exhaust when a muffler will do the trick. Of course some people want that sticker in the window. Or badge on their vehicle. My exhaust person even had tips and megaphones if that was desired.

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      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.
