2023 6.6L gas single exit black tip cat back system

reb0957 · June 11, 2023

It could be because I am new to GM but I can't find a single out SS exhaust with a black tip for $1000.00. That being said, AFE makes one but there are reports of bad drone and I have confirmed this through AFE. They have only sold about 50 of those and about 10 have had complaints. The person I was contact with confirmed those 10 are legit bad in the cab.
Gibson makes one but only has them listed for crew cab long bed. I have e-mailed multiple times and called over the last 2 weeks, I have gotten 0 response.
Here is the link to the Gibson, I really like the look.

I ended up calling MBRP and begging them to put a black exhaust tip in a kit. . They wouldn't do that because they are already packaged. They did give me a better price than offered online. My CC was hit for $1022.00 and once it comes in i get to request a $150 rebate. That isn't a bad deal for T304.

Not sure if this helps but, I cannot recommend enough, the GM Borla Catback Exhaust.

Imo, it's perfect- sounds awesome, has their million mile warranty and most importantly, absolutely no drone.

I've had it for at least 25,000 miles, probably more.

How much louder in the cab is the GM Borla system? I had exhaust on my last Tundra and loved it around town, but towing on longer trips it got a bit obnoxious inside the cab. I'm fairly happy with the stock sound on these L8Ts, but wouldn't be opposed to going a bit louder if it's not bad in the cab.

On the interstate it's hardly noticeable and even when your climbing it's not that bad at all - it sounds good man.

And, I'm talking about towing a 13k pound 5th wheel. That truck is so strong, it's not that Toyota man...

Honestly it's really very nice at 70mph on the interstate-

I installed the MBRP with black matte exhaust tip on "Big Red". I think it was right at $1000.

Pretty easy install. Sounds soooo much better than stock.

^{I'm a firm believer the 90 degree bend at the end causes drone noise in the Cab. Saw a guy run straight pipes out the back, NO mufflers! Quiet in the cab.}

That is a really interesting point

Great looking truck! Out of curiosity, have you noticed any change in performance or mpg after install?

I changed it on my 23....No change in MPG or seat in the pants! My ears do like it though!

I don't mind the factory exhaust note one bit, but I do hate where they put the outlet on these trucks. Even with a stainless heat shield on my Rock Tamers, they still smell like melting rubber after each use. That never happened on my 2016 with the exhaust exiting more towards the side.

No difference in MPG or seat of the pants...but put the go fast pedal down and it will put a smile on your face.

I just installed Borla cat back with black tip and it sounds awesome. S&S Exhaust had it shipped to me in 2 days.

Install was so easy and there is absolutely no drone when cruising down the interstate!

Now my Carhartt Edition 2500HD 6.6 GAS sounds as good as it looks!

Someone may have mentioned it already but Borla makes one. I believe the part number is 140833BC. Borla S-Type model. Check out Borlas website to confirm.

Has anyone adapted these exhausts to a regular cab long bed? Borla, Gibson, etc. don't list any products with compatibility other than crew cabs. It appears that the forward pipe section could be cut (I'm assuming ~17" based on wheelbase difference to regular cab) but curious if anyone has done it yet.
