Well I ordered the Gibson Dual Extreme Exhaust today from www.autoanything.com since they are offering $25 off and FREE SHIPPING until 8/11/08. So basically today was the last day to get the discount and free shipping. I got the dual extreme standard aluminized exhaust with the dual stainless steel tips. I went with the dual extremes because the tips have an aggressive angle behind the rear wheels. I'm not a big fan of dual exhaust that goes straight back under the rear bumper and I don't like the 90 degree look either so the dual extreme was perfect for my tastes and it works with the spare tire also so there is no need to remove the spare like other exhausts I had researched. I wanted to go with the Borla system which is who makes the GM Performance exhaust but it was way to expensive. I just want a deeper tone with good looks so this system should work out perfect.

I've done some research on the sound, Gibson has sound clips on their website so I've listened to those along with videos on You Tube and other internet sites. A neighbor of mine has a 2007 NBS and he had a Magna Flow dual exhaust put on his truck and I didn't care for the sound of it so that is one of the reasons I went with Gibson. As I said I originally wanted the Borla or GM Performance systems which are the same since Borla makes them both but I couldn't afford to drop a grand on an exhaust. Hopefully it sounds ok otherwise I'll be taking it off and saving up for the GM system.

Come on you guys know me, don't I always come through with a write up or alot of pics? The bad thing is that the order confirmation shows delivery between 8/25/08 and 9/1/08. hopefully it gets here sooner, I don't know why it would take that long unless it's made to order but that would be crazy. odds are is that they don't carry stuff in stock so they have to order it and then they ship it to the customer which would explain a long delivery date, sucks having to wait but for an extra $25 off plus free shipping I'm in no hurry!!!

When I ordered my tonneau from autoanything, it came a lot quicker than they said it would.

 

I'm looking forward to the sound clips. :jester:

Yeah the 5.7L Hemi & 5.3 Vortec sound the same :thumbs:

 

Sound level wise it all depends. Dodge puts resonators on their newer systems, though it sounds as if he removed some. That Gibson will sound better on the Vortec V8 though.

I had an 04' Dodge Ram and honestly I think my 08 sounds just as loud stock as my Hemi did. The exhaust is supposed to be here tomarrow so when I get home from work I'll install it and post up a video and some pics. I won't be able to give my opinion until I hear it on my truck.

Let us know how it sounds in 4cl mode. I've been looking for a cat back for around 400 hundred too, so I hope it sounds good on your truck.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
