:thumbs: Well after hounding half of this message board for the past month I have done it. well and its not what i ever was planing on. After getting to the Muffler shop with a 18" magna flo in my mind and maybe a 50 series as a back up I ended up with a Flomaster 70 series muffler installed. Am I happy well sort of. They were out of stock on everything I wanted and the fella new I had this thing about not being to loud so we did the 70. Its quite a idle but you here it under excel and quite again cruising the only thing I dont like is it sounds kind of school bus like not really bad but it could have been better, and you know what the wife still says its to loud, Thank God I didnt get the 50. Oh well thats my story. Going On a big trip going to check my millage. On the upside I can spin my tires easer and i think I have more power. time will tell.

Glad to see you're semi pleased at least. I don't understand the schoolbus thing though :thumbs::flag: but whatever, lol. I don't understand how the wife can say it's still too loud, but she'll get used to it over time

...and that school bus drone will drive you mad on trips. I hated the Borlas SS system on my 'Burban. Don't expect any fuel economy improvement, our trucks come with a very efficient exhaust system from the factory. Unless you operate in the very upper end of the RPM range (4000 and up), any performance gain will be strictly audible placebo. Just my .02 :flag:

I have a 40 series, 3" in, dual 2.5" out and I think its way too quiet for me.

 

I gotta figure out how to make it louder. Straight pipe maybe, but leave the cats.

Try Dumping it right in front of the rear axle, I did that on my 89' (305-V8) with a FM40 (Single 3" in, Dual 2.5" Out), and that sucker was loud, and sounded VERY BAD ASS... I really miss the sound still... Even though I really like the Magnaflows I have on my new truck.

 

(Now that I remember, I had a Hi-flow catco cat on the truck at the time, that probably helped some too.)

School bus sound, I think not. What you need to do to fully appreciate the sound is have a buddy drop you off on a street and do a few drive past you under differant throttle load. Then you should have a smile on your face. :thumbs::thumbs:

Dump your exhaust right behind your rear end. If you want it louder, have it dump right in front of your rear end.

Thanks for the input guys. The sound is starting to grow on me and when I had to pull off the free way and then get back on from 0 to 65 it really felt quicker and sounded good. Will a muffler get louder with age or stay the same.

 

:lurk:

 

Scott I think I like.

Glad to see it's growing on you :lurk:

 

If you plan on sticking around and using "Scott", MAKE A SIG AND JOIN DUH WHORES! lol lol lol

 

The sound will deepen just a tad, not really get louder, but it will also get a bit more refined. I noticed mainly those two things while my 70 "broke in". Interior it should be a bit better. Hows the wifey liking it now though? And did you notice mileage increases?

For a Sig call me Pastor Scott and yes I really am a Pastor of a small country church. The wife hasnt said much but i think its growing on her. It really can only be heard under excel and start up but cruising is quite. I think the milage is better but havnt clocked it yet (Gee I hope It is) Thats how I sold the wife on it. Problem is I keep getting on it to here my new system. Oh well.

 

thanks again

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
