Hey guys i need some advice on what kind of dual exhaust to put on my truck since Christmas is coming around the corner. I don't really know too much about diff types of exhaust so and input is appreciated. I don't want anything to ridiculously loud. Just something that will make her purr when idling and roar when opening up. Not sure if this is helpful or not but thanks anyway. :(

 

 

 

P.S i know i know... i'm an exhaust newb

If you're looking for true dual exhaust, as far as I know, you are looking at getting a custom job done at your local muffler shop. As far as the sound you are looking for, it sounds like you're looking for a Corsa cat-back system. This is the system I plan on getting as soon as I strike oil. :(

If you do not want to drop a lot of money into it, you should look at either buying a cat-back system from Magnaflow or buying a magnaflow muffler and then bringing it to a custom shop to have them make dual pipes to the back. I am planning on buying a muffler and having pipes bend to fit to the back bumper. Magnaflow offers deep sound with out excess resonating in the cab. Their site has a link to listen to a NBS Silverado with their kit installed. It sounds nice and is definitely the muffler I am getting, it is stainless steel so it wont rust out easy like Flowmaster (roughly 2-3 years depending on driving). The longer the muffler the quieter the sound in both at the tips and in the cab. Hope this is helpful

I have been looking for the same thing for awhile and haven't found what I want yet. Easiest is a cat-back system. They have some nice sound and are fairly in-expensive compared to a custom one. If you do go custom true duals, you may need to buy an emulator/ simulator for the oxygen sensors. They may work or your check engine light might come on.

Actually, I'm not sure, never met any one that it has happened to. From what i can figure it should make it quite or louder because the computer wont see the oxygen levels in the exhaust and it could make it run in base settings, make it run rich, or really lean. So in the end it could hurt the engine, but it seems like normally it would run in base timing.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
