I have a Vortex single in dual out on mine. Muffler guy searched around and said it was the best for a deep sound, enough backpressure, and not too loud. I've heard the PV system on the net somewhere, it sounds awesome.

I had mine custom bent at an exhaust shop here in my hometown.  The guy did a great shop fitting everything, and the whole system is very solid.  Only problem is that he screwed me over on the tips he put on.  Told me specifically they would not rust, as I didn't want them if they would.  Guess what, about 3 months later they started rusting bad.  Needless to say, I won't be going back to him anymore.  Does sound good though.

I have a 40 series Flowmaster, single in/dual out,  muffler with chrome tips exiting the rear that I had a local muffler shop do.  I can't remember what size the inlet and outlets are on the muffler.  I'm really happy with it.  The 40 series is louder than I expected, but I like it.  If you don't like it loud, you can get a 50 or 70 series.  I think the 70 is the quietest.  I've heard some say it's not much louder than stock, but I've never heard one myself.

Yeah I had the same problem on my '93 sportside.That's why when I had mine done about 6 weeks ago I told them to dump the pipe at the back tires.

FLOWMASTER!!!!!:):):):):):):)

I went with the Flowmaster system if you couldn't tell.  I love it.  The best part are the tips.  It doesnt' have "tips" on it.  The last three feet of the tubes are stainless steel.  I have had it a year and there is no rust on the S.S. portion.  Best part is, they aren't tips. Did I already mention that?  It is just that I hate walking up behind a great looking car or truck with 3 in exhaust only to look at it from the side and see a small pipe and a big tip.:( It is kind of like fart pipe for a fullsize.

As defined by good 'ol boys (anybody that owns a truck or cool car) across the country:

Fart Pipe: n 1. A 3 in exhaust tip found on any ricemobile that has convinced the owner that he has just added 15hp to his car by installing it. ex. Did you see that geek with the civic with the fart pipe?  He actually thought he was cool!! (usually followed by hysterical laughter)  example:

(notice the second wing, although this does not show the fart pipe, it is a perfect example of rice)

 

2. A nearby pipe that a frat boy feels the need to fart on to impress his buddies.

I will put the Borla on my truck... maybe this summer...  I had it on my last truck (sorry but it was a 5.4 triton).  I liked the sound (not too loud) and it was a very good looking system.  They are a little pricey but I know what I had and I liked it so I'm gonna do it again.  I'd like to get a few more miles on the truck before I do any intake/exhaust mods, and at the rate I'm putting miles on that may be awhile...  4 1/2 months old and there is 1750 miles showing!!!  (and I put 150 on last weekend!)

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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. 😉
