What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Walkerfever]

Well, weather storm hit before I could test fit the modified PETG version of the fuse holder, and it's currently 18*F and windy. I think the weather breaks on Thursday. We will see. In other news, Borla is installed. It's louder than I expected, but I'm used to it already. No drone is awesome.

Contemplated getting underneath and cutting out the factory muffler and installing the magnaflow muffler that I've had sitting in my garage for like 2 years. Couldn't get the guts to cut it today and use exhaust clamps and extra piping to put it back together with the magnaflow. But I got close.
I just struggle to justify paying a muffler shop $140 to cut out the factory muffler and weld in my magnaflow.
But I'll have to do something eventually because I want it to have a little more sound. Since its a V8 in a "truck" afterall..

Agreed. I had to have a muffler shop weld the socket from my stock catback to the Borla, and install the catback itself...$150. I told my son that the reason I did all that (other than laziness) was to show him the benefits and savings of doing your own work.

Great information!!
Although it seems you can’t purchase that piece by itself. Have to purchase the intermediate shaft assembly.

is the shaft on suv's different? longer? shorter? i have a minor binding issue on the lift on the Silverado which is directly related to the steering linkage, wondering if a suv shaft would resolve it.

Yeah your truck sounds great with that borla. I need that sound!

But as someone who does 99% of the work on all my vehicles myself, I understand what you mean.

Took the step of cutting out the factory muffler today and exhaust clamping in a straight pipe for now (kept resonator). I'll tackle the magnaflow muffler another time. It sounds great with the muffler delete and keeping the resonator in the rear.

weird not sure how people like a straight pipe on these mine sounded like shit with no muffler, maybe it's because I have used some form of performance exhaust for 40+ years so a plain pipe sounds terrible

I was surprised as well because normally muffler deletes sound terrible in my opinion too. I think the resonator still being there is a big part of it.
