Anyone running an Edelbrock muffler (RPM or 304 series)? Looking at keeping the stock stainless pipe and changing muffler and adding a tip instead of dumping $$$ into a complete system.  Thoughts/comments welcomed.

I had a Borla cat-back on my old truck and liked it alot.  Not too loud, and a very uniformed and authorative rumble when you put your foot into it.  They sell several different types and sizes and if/when I replace the big can under my truck I'll be looking at them first...

This is one of the first things I changed on my 2000 when I got it. It ran so smooth and quiet, I had to look at the tach to see that it was running.LOL. I bought a Flowmaster 70 series with a 3 inch inlet and dual 2 1/2 outlets. I had aluminized steel run out with slash cut megaphones put on the truck. It now has a nice rumble. Not loud though because I live in a quiet neighborhood. Plus I really don`t like the loudness when I running down the road. Interstate speeds, you cant tell they are there. Not too loud just right in my opinion.

      New or used

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Certainly as the new model year comes along and that may mean a new refreshed model such as for example the upcoming 2027 half tons and lets just say for arguments sake that current year trucks are in decent supply on the new lot and its not guaranteed but some years and depending on the current economic state that buyers may turn their nose up at the so called old stock/old model and want the "new new" shiny object. When those stars align and in this case GM corporate puts out a great discount on what is becoming the old stock as well as dealers willing to deal to get that inventory off the lot, that's when it would be easier to deal as long as, as it was pointed out that your willing to take what is there for choice of inventory in an area that makes sense to you shopping wise. What you don't get deals on or typically so is the incoming new toy in the showroom, that is where if they don't have much inventory of the new model year and customers that are willing to pay to beat the Joneses and will pay top dollar for it just because. Also sometimes there is that vehicle that few are interested in for whatever reason in how its equipped that becomes two years old and they really want to get rid of that vehicle. New in all cases and warranty the same typically although plan on changing that battery out on the older used one, lot rot of batteries with todays vehicles that draw power constantly.    I too was just too leery about buying a newer used truck as I know how all too many seem to treat their vehicle maintenance wise and up here in Canada there wasn't the used market to choose from like one would assume because of all the bull crap going on with under a year old trucks and under certain mileage being bought up by USA brokers and being hauled/driven south to be sold in the sates so the used price was too demanding here. Also a certain insurance coverage I wanted was only available on a new truck at time of purchase and not even a so called new demo on a lot could have that no depreciation loss coverage. I made the best deal I could on a truck I personally chose for options on an order so they knew it was most likely sold before it ever hit their lot so no lot interest charges for the dealer to swallow. I also wanted a new vehicle so that I could plaster the crap out of it underneath with fluid film and see if that will help slow down the rust issues we have here due to the crap they spread on the winter roads.

      Sure...but there is no "update" to be had.  GM has not issued any support for this.

      You mean it's not supported yet in the trucks. The hardware is certainly there. The software just needs updated.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is the carbon pro bed still a thing? I figured it was one of those things that quietly disappeared from low take rate.   I thought Chevrolet tried adding it too...   Minimal.   Despite all the 'all new' versions since GMT-800, lots of parts still swap from generation to generation.   I've seen a bunch of GMT-800s with a K2 rear bumper on them.

      We still haven't seen the GMC's. I expect the Chevys to more orr less match the Fords, but with no all aluminum body and simple SBC, be significantly more affordable. I'm hoping GMC offers the 6.7 engine and lays it all out on the line. My main question? More premium GMC's already use composite leads out back. Does Chevy get any? What other frame/suspension changes?
