Upgraded clamp here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGid1cx6k9DYibg.html

But the one I really wanted to hear was with the muffler attached, the valve stock, and the resonator deleted to see if it sounded like the stock system from the '07-'13 trucks

Loved the third one. By far sounds beautiful.

Thx man I love 3 and 4 ... I’m driving 3 right now so far love it, after a week I’ll try 4 and remove resonator temporary and see if gets annoying

Love the closup of the valve, THANKYOU

Super detailed and helpful video. Thanks for putting the time in for the rest of us!🤘

Put something like a 3" or bigger tip with the resonator lining on wherever end of pjpe is. Changes the tone of it and in some cases, sounds cleaner

How about leaving everything stock except rear resonator? How would that sound?

I have 6.2 with a carven muffler and it sounds good. Gonna go resonator delete here soon.

Excellent demo on this modification....thanks for making a video on it. I like #4 the best. I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado 5.3L stock exhaust. Not sure if I want to do this mod with the engine computer going into "V4" mode all the time. I did exhaust mods on my 2012 Chevy Silverado with cylinder deactivation and it sounded like ass when it went into V4 mode. But, EXCELLENT around town going through gears. On the highway (long distances...I hated what I did to that exhaust). Way too loud on the highway. But, to each their own. Quiet is good, loud is good (and fun sounding). I wouldn't mind doing exhaust mods to my 2014...but, Chevy and their stupid cylinder deactivation makes it sound horrible

You can disable cylinder deactivation with a tuner. I had to do that on my Challenger (sounded like a lawnmower with 4cyl). I intend to do the same when I upgrade exhaust on my silverado

Hey nick, i dont know how loud or aggressive you want your truck sounding. But i just watched some videos of the same generation silverado with the 5.3 and a flowmaster super 10. And they sound pretty nice and crisp! Excited to see what else you do!

Sounds good man. I'll be doing mine Monday. But my two cents would be instead of just revving, if you were to hold a few seconds say around 3000 RPM's would give a better example. Thanks for the videos by the way 🤙

Is it bad to leave the valve open all the time? Like for daily driving?

@dylansmith697

5 ай бұрын

Not that I hear unless you still have the v4 mode and keep the resonator and muffler if you remover those and keep the valve open it sound amazing. The valve is electrical at all it’s just based off of pressure so having it off will let your truck breathe better so imo a good thing to get rid of the valve muffler and resonator

It sounds badass without the muffler. But It would sound better with flowmaster I recommend delta flow.

I love #4 my fav so far. The goal here was to do free mods to get best sounding exhaust lol, wanted to get corsa before but can’t beat free mods haha

So 2 years later.... Had any lift problems? The flap is for the afm. The motor is deaigned to drop to 4 cylinders under certain conditions as in highway travel. All the yada yada. You probably already know what it is by now. But im curious as to how the afm has reacted after 2 years without that flap. Im going to definitely do the muffler delete but if over 2 years it causes engine failure. Ill make sure i leave the flap.

I removed my resonator, muffler, and clamped valve open. There is a annoying drone at 70+mph and when it goes to AFM (V4) mode, it sounds like the engine is choking on gas and sputters. I'm going to remove my 3 inch muffler delete pipe, add a real muffler, and tune to remove AFM.

Delete it all, find a local tuner, and have them turn the V4 mod off. They could also Dyno tune it for you at the same time. A lot better use of $ vs. buying a handheld "tuner" Also - exhaust always sounds different/better when it exits from the vehicle and isn't just "dumping" out from under the truck. Unless you have actual turn down, then you get the sound hitting the ground and typically making it louder.

What sidesteps are those?

Take it all out. Just cut that chunk of pipe out. It is restricting your air flow. If u really want it to sound deeper and more or power put in a "Cold air Inductions" cold air intake. There about $418 bucks but it is definitely worth it. Search for it on KZread. There is one video with a 2017 Silverado on the dyno

Buy yourself a Range AFM disabler. They can be found for under $150. It simply plugs into the OBD port under the dash and you'll have no more AFM. It leaves no trace in the ECM so it's warranty friendly as long as you remove before service
