LOL...does that "Snow/Ice" mode make a difference?
Great color, btw. Also, not trying to peddle stuff, but since you drive in the snow, I do have the original 18" take-off wheels & tires from mine with under 5K miles if you were interested in a second set to leave snows on for easier swap. |

Snow/Ice does help for throttle control. More manageable take off from a stop.
About your original take offs, how much would want for them? |

I have had the mbrp axel back and x pipe in place of the resonator for about six months , 10k miles, and love it.

I thought I would never change the exhaust on this car, but metal started rattling in the resonator. 3 weeks later got x pipe put on.$180. About 2 weeks later I installed the mbrp axel back, about $ 400.The exhaust makes a loud blast at 2k, which is where the drone is. Above 4.5-5k it rips. The drone was a little disturbing at first, it doesn't bother me now. Letting either window down a few inches gets rid of most of the drone. Has a nice burble . It's kind of loud when you get on it but in a good way.

Did you looked at the Chevy performance exhaust? It is a pair of mufflers and comes with a tune for your built in noise cancellation.
I agree with a lot of the above posters though, it looks like you have something going on with the Borla that I would work on first. -Geoff

Or, maybe the OEM resonator that you replaced took care of some of that. Suck that yours started to rattle. I wonder if something could be up with mine, causing sound issues further down. Thanks again for the firsthand experience. Much appreciated. |

I agree, I think my fall project will be to take the Borlas off, see if that sound goes away. If so, I may go with simple muffler delete system (hoping the required cuts in the exhaust are the same). If weird sound is still there with the Borlas off, I guess it’s back to the dealer we go. Thanks! |

Does anyone know what size pipe for an X-pipe for the 6th gen V6? Considering Magnaflow Tru-X that comes in 2.25", 2.5", and 3". https://www.magnaflow.com/products/1...t-x-pipe-10791 |

The pipes are 2.25". I think any descent exhaust shop will have a x pipe. The resonator combines the exhaust. I'm glad I took my resonator off that is where the x pipe was put. I am very happy with my exhaust, would not change it. Some people take off the second cats , I would not do that.

Thanks for that info.
Still haven't figured out the cause of the noise but I have an upcoming appointment with a different dealer. Regarding the exhaust, what I am learning from lots of research is that when replacing exhaust components for the V6, do one of the following: * When doing a muffler delete, you need a resonator or the rasp will be terrible. This could mean keeping the stock res or replacing it with a resonated X-pipe. * If installing some type of axle back muffler system, replace the stock H-pipe with an X-pipe. After watching several YouTube vids, it seems like the system needs some kind of resonator somewhere or it will just plain sound like crap. If anyone disagrees/agrees with this, I look forward to comments and advice. Cheers! |
