04 Chevrolet Silverado 4.8L Reg Cab Short Bed w/ 55,000 Miles

 

Am considering getting a set of flowmasters on my truck. I do not want it loud in the truck but I do want it to sound good when ya get on it alittle.

 

I will get the chrome tips and all that.

 

Can someone give me a recommendation and also how much it was complete installed?

If you don't want inside noise, go with Magnaflow. I recently changed to Magnaflow from Flowmaster. I was a die-hard, many years Flowmaster fan, but I am way more satisfied with my current setup. I have better performance and a lot less noise inside.

I just did a muffler swap with a dump---muffler was 70 new from ebay; install was 50.

The cat back systems are do it yourself and pretty easy from what I have read/heard.

If you don't want to mess with ebay, www.performancepeddler.com is the cheapest I've seen. Visit magnaflow.com to find your part number and they have sound clips too.

If you get the Flowmaster 50 series muffler, you won't have noise inside but it'll sound great outside. That's what I had on my Dodge Ram and I LOVED it. I have a DynoMax on this new Chevy and it sounds good but it's too loud inside the cab. I'm going to get a Flowmaster 50 series muffler when I can afford it and replace this one.

I have the same unit in a 03. I am looking into a Gibson Super Truck set up. They have this exact combo, 4.8 and super truck sound clip on the Gibson website. I have found it hard to find 4.8 soundclips only 5.3 are usually availiable. IMO it sounds great. I do not know if I want to spend close to 400 for aluminized part though.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
