Really thinking about buying a Denali, need some advice

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

Looks great man! I like that color. You will love the Denali. So what mods do you have planned??

Mods I'm a little on the fence about. I'm thinking a new air intake will be in order... and I kind of want to get exhaust for it but I dunno. I don't know exaclty what kind of sound I want coming from this thing... I mean, do I want it to be stupid loud with a flowmaster 40 or something? Maybe I just something that sounds a bit more aggressive but not too over the top. I don't know really. Down the line maybe I'll get a chip for it too depending.

Anyone here running exhaust on these trucks? If so, what kind and how do you like it? I was thinking it would be really cool to get duals with side exits just before the rear tires, but the running boards ruin that idea. Maybe straight pipes out the back? I'm open to suggestions. If anyone has pictures of their custom exhaust setup I'd love to see.

Just replace the muffler or have a shop build you a system with a big ass magnaflow. I really like the way mine sounds with the longtubes and 3" flowmaster dumped but I don't mind the noise. Sounds great on the highway, loud as **** when you stand on it. Honestly I'd start with a blackbear tune, then maybe and intake and quiet catback. Corsa makes the quietest catback for these, I didn't even know my buddy had one on his 06 until I stood on it with the windows down.

awesome purchase man!

Thanks all for the warm welcome to ClubDenali

I do notice a lot of you GMT800 guys have blackbear tune. Is blackbear just some guy/company who tunes chips for these trucks really well or what?

I'm still having a tough time deciding on what kind of sound/presence I want this truck to have when it rolls around. I bet this 6.0L 364 would sound mighty and proud with a flowmaster in it's windpipe. Even the stock exhaust sounds pretty nice when you wind up the engine. I don't know, I'll get to that later I think I should just enjoy my truck for what it is and worry about adding to some other time.

I'm thinking a trip to the track is in order next week, though. 8)

Also, I decided to take my 1995 Tahoe off the road and transfer the plates to my denali, so I can drive it home tomorrow instead of having to wait for new plates on monday. So stokeddddd

Blackbear is a custom tune. Talk to Justin or Jenna on this site. BTW are you the guy with the maroon and gray truck?

 

[General Stalin]

Yes, that is me

I just bought an '01 Denali with 75k on it for 8. funny part is this is the second time I bought this truck. I bought it new in early '01 new from the dealership but sold it before I went in for a stretch...just happened to see it on the autotrader so I called and the vin matched....so I bought it again.
