Still no updates on the 68 but I did pick this up today. Brand new leftover 2013 Gmc Sierra SLE 4x4. Have been wanting to get another truck for a while but wanted to wait until after getting the house. I'm really excited to get a truck again, my little 2 door Altima wasn't cutting it anymore.

Thanks everybody, I put about a 100 miles on it this weekend and I'm loving every second of it. It's good to be back in a truck again. My wife loves it too, it has dual zone climate control so now she can turn up the heat a little on her side when I'm trying to freeze her out

Only real plans for it are a bedcover, side steps and of course a exhaust. I'm open to suggestions on the exhaust. If somebody has a preference please chime in. My truck has the 5.3 with afm. Looking for a good quality exhaust that won't have a horrible drone when the afm kicks in.

I got the Magnaflow dual exhaust for my crew cab and it sounds awesome. I get complements on it all the time. It looks great and took me about 45-60 min to pull the old exhaust off and put the new on. All I used were a couple hand tools, jack, and two jack stands, which aren't even needed but makes it easier to get underneath it. I think this is the part number but if you order it I would first verify it. If I wasn't on the other side of the world for work, I would take a photo of it for you but unfortunately I am.

Thanks for the link, that exhaust is in my top 3 so far along with Borla and Corsa. All of them are pricey but worth it for the quality. One question though, does your truck have the active fuel management where it drops to 4 cylinders. If it does how does the exhaust sound. Any droning issues.

AJohn6 · 09-17-2013, 08:40 AM

It does have AFM but it isn't that noticeable when it is running on 4 cylinders but it is noticeable. You can really tell though when it goes from 4 to 8. I haven't heard the Corsa but a guy I work with has the Borla and I think the Magnaflow sounds better at idle and accelerating.

If you want I can see if my girlfriend can take a video of it this weekend or maybe the next.

Lattimer · 09-17-2013, 09:43 AM

My buddy has a 2012 Silverado, and I helped him install a Borla. Sounds great.

c10Dream'n · 09-17-2013, 11:16 AM

nice GMC. my wife told me i got my toy already when i got my 69 at the beginning of the year, so i'm gonna have to suck it up with my 05' maxima for a few more years. the 14' silverados will be right in my price range in about 3-4 years, lol.

72BlckButy · 09-17-2013, 01:29 PM

Like the new truck...

72BlckButy · 09-17-2013, 01:29 PM

We need some more shots of the new place.

Thanks I appreciate the offer, I have listened to a ton of clips of the magnaflow exhaust on YouTube so no need to bother her.

I love the s-type cat back but its like $1100.00. I'm not really a fan of the touring exhaust, a little to quiet for my taste especially for the money.

Yeah the 14' silverados and sierras are really nice but where to pricey for me. Plus I didn't want something in the first year of a new model.

Thanks Nate, here is the pic of the backyard. It is decent size and the dogs love it. Will be even bigger if the previous owner ever comes to pick up his swing set.

All depends on what you like. He wanted a decent growl but zero drone on longer drives, and the touring Borla was perfect for what he wanted. It actually sounds very close to the TRD true duals I have on my Tundra.

raull · 09-17-2013, 11:14 PM

magnaflow , had it on my 06 gto ,08 gmc , 11 tundra and now on my 06 vette , get the picture , lol

Well I like them loud and kind of in your face but I don't want to deal with any droning issues either.

got the message, I had Magnaflow on my 02 Roush Mustang and it sounded good. I have always put flowmasters on everything previous to this but just want something different.

Yeah he cracks me up too, I'm almost scared to tell him that I'm probably going with either borla or corsa.
