[Designs N Signs]

Will they warranty the turbos if you have rhe spd turbo adapters and borla stype installed ?

So I brought it to the dealer I purchased my truck from for a 2nd opinion. They confirmed what I originally thought it was. Baffle loose in muffler. Turbos are fine and have normal noise. No vibrations outside of normal.


They are installing a new muffler as I speak. That being said I’m having a borla s type installed on Monday as well. Don’t know if there a market for the stock exhaust? If anyone interested I’ll have a stock exhaust for sale. If I’m happy with new exhaust of course.

Great you have it fixed without that much trouble! I would not be real quick to sell it. Sometimes a new exhaust (louder) will seem really fun. Then you go on a long trip and the drown will drive you nuts. I put a Borla on my Z06 Corvette, loved it at first. Then went on a 250 mile trip and realized it wasn't quite as fun.

IMO the ideal system is the "Active system" many of newer Corvette and Pony cars have. It bypasses some of the muffler baffles when you're in sport mode. I'm a little surprised that some of the exhaust companies haven't learned how to tap into the can bus and make their own systems active. Perhaps they have and I just don't know about it.

I’m gonna keep it for a few thousand miles before I decide if I’m gonna stay with it or not. I recently went to a Borla/Raptor Day at Galpin Auto Sports. The place hat pimps everyone’s rides.....Anyways..... I learned that if I’m not liking the S type with mid pipe I can change the mid pipe to a Borla muffler and it will make it into their Touring version.

Neither of the dealers actually did anything to the turbos. 1st deal used sound sensors that they moved around to locate noises. I guess hey put them in multiple spots to figure it out. They came with the conclusion that a sound/vibration is coming from a turbo. Can’t remeber the name of the machine they used. Odd name.

2nd dealer used the same machine and found nothing out of the ordinary. Everything is in the normal range. I was there at the time they did this. Showed me graphs from both turbos on harmonic ranges and both in sync.

Keeping fingers crossed that the 1st dealer was wrong. Time will tell.

Not to bring up a dead thread - but my truck is doing the EXACT same thing. If I hold the RPMs around 1k it will allow the sound to continue so I can find it.

Did the new muffler fix the issue for you @Big Ratt?

 

[Big Ratt]

Yes, corrected the issue.

 

[Panduh]

Yes, corrected the issue.

Good - hopefully this will keep the dealership from keeping my truck for a week

Still haven’t had the dealer look at it - the holidays have made it tough.

The rattle is now very loud. Just like the video posted earlier - only now it rattles at idle. It used to only rattle 900-1000rpm
