I've seen an upgrade exhaust for the 6.2 trucks that uses GM's bus exhaust system. it's only $100 on Amazon and that is a big sewer pipe like on the BOrla. but its factory quet

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, all of the factory connection Borla 6.2 exhausts they make in ALL types so Touring, S and Atak are 3.5" in and out of the muffler, then 2.75" for the Y section.  Only the header connect system has smaller pipe in and out of the muffler.  

 

I don't see how you wouldn't be able to just swap the muffler out.

I think he might have the setup where its true dual. Which only comes with s-type sound level.

That's some BS right there.  How can they prove that it didn't come that way from the factory?  Or that it's louder than the factory?  Is there going to be a dB database for all cars?  You're innocent until proven guilty.

The GM Performance exhaust comes with a sticker you place somewhere under the hood to indicate its a factory part.  That may be how.  I have that exhaust and sticker on my truck since I'm in California.

Not in New York!

It's a Commonwealth.  Most people don't understand.  America doesn't have 50 states.  It has 46 states and 4 commonwealths.

2021 Silverado Trail boss for 6.2 with Borla S type exhaust contacted Borla about quitting it down a little bit so I can pass New York State inspection I can’t believe they said take it to a custom muffler shop they can do something for you Borla is no help whatsoever 

 

Why would Borla help, they sold you a product you wanted. It is not Borla's fault that NY is full of idiots who elect morons to represent the state, that then pass idiotic laws such as this one!

Because they manufacture various different mufflers.

 

I've had a similar experience with borla. They used to be helpful and would recommend a specific muffler based on your needs.

 

Now... they may as well remove their # and email, for all the good it does people looking for product advice.

How could they help here, customer buys said product, customer installs said product. Then 6 months later NY state legislative decides to ban the product, it is not on Borla to make it right. This is where the term elections have consequences comes from!

 

Elect stupid people and win stupid regulations, restrictions and laws.

 

Imo the state clearly wants everything stock, if you do anything other than stock you are taking a chance imo.

I completely agree with you. I was just saying that because borla makes standalone mufflers one would think they'd be helpful and recommend one that fits with the ops desired sound level. Either a replacement or add on.

 

With everything they design I personally think they'd be in the best situation to make that recommendation...

I don't know why going to a muffler shop isn't an acceptable answer?  It's kind of hard for Borla to see what's going on under your vehicle and make a correct recommendation.  There is more than just pipe diameter to consider.  There's also length and muffler clearance.  If Borla made a recommendation based on your comments and it didn't fit then you'd be pissed again at their customer service.  Bring it to a muffler shop like they asked. Geesh.

I don't get why this is an issue at this time.  The modification was made prior to enactment of the new law.  IINAL, but the COTUS does have a grandfather clause that would permit the exhaust to stay.  I suspect a legal challenge may be coming.  If not the OP then somebody with money and time.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
