I have an extended cab/short box '04 5.3L truck and I want the new side exit Magnaflow exhaust.

 

I can barely find them on the internet and when I do, they $400+.

 

Any idea on where to get the best deal?

Most of the local muffler shops (at least around here) will install them w/custom bent pipe (or pipes) for $150 out the door.

I got mine from www.tbyrnemotorsports.com... Exhaust are 10% off right now from them too so you could get one to your door for less than 400.. They have great customer service as well..

Ive heard that the cheapest price was from full line exhaust www.fle-online.com I ordered mine from Tbyrne and it took 2.5 weeks to get here, the other place supposedly stocks it and has a lower price.

I got mine from fle-online and they shipped immediately and offered a better price than Tbyrne. Great customer service and I'm loving the Magnaflow side exit cat-back so far. :thumbs:

And here comes the dreaded question. Resonance, is there any resonance? How does the interior resonance and interior noise compare to the OEM for both the side exit and dual rear exit?

 

Also, for the dual rear exit.., are you able to keep your spare tire mounted?

on a different forum we came across performancepeddler. go to ebay and look up his store, all of his info is there. his price shipped for an 04,stainless, short bed, 5.3, dual out the back, was 385.00. the rep we all used was brad (248-399-7600).pm me if you are interested and i can tell you the web site to use as a reference to get an additional $10.00 off.

There is zero resonance, but a bit of drone around 2,000rpm. It's not obnoxious, but it's there. Of course, my stock exhaust had a bit of drone around that rpm as well, so I'm not surprised, just engine harmonics, I guess.

 

Now, my Magnaflow side exit catback is NOT quiet. I was expecting it to be a bit quieter, but it definitely rumbles. It's not overly loud, but it's not a quiet aftermarket exhaust.

 

I love it. :lol:

Try Performance Peddler on Ebay. See link below. Just because he does not have it in stock, does not mean that he cannot get it. I have heard nothing but things out of him though I have not purchased anything from him.

      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.

      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.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
