I'm ready to pull the trigger on a cat back maybe. We did a Corsa dB cat back on my buddies GMC 2500 hd and it droned so bad in the cab it about mad us sick. I dont want any drone in my cab. He didnt have a tune yet so I dont know if he should get it tuned to change tourqe convertor locup. I already have a BBP tune maybe that make a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe I could do a dual in dual out muffler swap. What is everyone using and how do they like the results? Is the key to not having drone in the di/do muffler the factory uses? Thanks.

No exhaust mods yet. Im really worried if I mess with it I'll never get it the way I want. I was thinking about the magnaflow muffler. Is it an X crossover muffler? Would adding and X upstream help with drone? Thanks for the reply Jason.From one Jason to another. Man there are so many options.

I actually had that setup until 2 weeks ago. It will be quiet. It will still sound good. I really liked it just wanted to make it a little louder. Sounds really good tho.

The dB series by Corsa was never for the SS, it may say it is but it is not. The reps at Corsa will confirm it. If you look at the Corsa page, it will show a Silverado SS on both Touring and Sport pages. However when you pull down the dB series it shows a non super sport silverado p/u with the 5.3 engine. Someone else had the same exact problem with the cheap dB Corsa system. You pay for what you get, but the dB series is not for the LQ9 engine only the Touring and Sport models.
I have chronic headache and migraine issues so Corsa is the only way i can go, the stock system even gives me migraines when I am on the highway for 30+ minutes. Corsa gave me a bunch of info a year or so ago but I do not remember the exact details.
