im at dealer now swapping out Borla "S" type for Touring muffler.

Nice, hopefully it’s not too low for you coming from the S type. Having had both sounds ,let us know your thoughts on it if you can.

Is this part of the quest for the truck to not sound like the space shuttle launch on start up?

Dealer installed the Touring muffler. sounds great....too me. its what it should have been from the start, one level up from stock. sound like music is subjective. if you are looking for a stock start up and a growl when you pass, touring muffler is perfect. zero drone at speed. thanks alot for all the help. great forum.

Curious to what dealers are charging you guys to install this system?

They charged me 100.00 and added it to my vin# so it's covered under the factory warranty as well.

Glad you finally got what you were after!

So did you end up using the stock exhaust system with just the touring muffler or was it still a complete system?

its now the accessory system i purchased from the muffler back with a new front pipe and of course the new muffler. seemless fit. Borla did the right thing. it sounds exactly what i was looking for.

Also interested in a muffler with resonators still attached. I don’t want to irritate the older neighbors but I still want to make the truck sound like it’s not an EV.

gm borla accessory part number.

gm borla accessory part number.

This is the part number for the front pipe and muffler sent by Borla?

 

[ZR2NYC]

This is the part number for the front pipe and muffler sent by Borla?

no. im not sure of part numbers for the replacement parts. it came in a generic box. i will have to look. i misunderstood.

No worries. Wanted to be able to call them up and give a part number rather than describe the situation and maybe get the right replacement part.

I called Borla today. Spoke with Ryan about what I am trying to accomplish with the Touring system. According to him the touring muffler and front pipe should fit with a GM part number system. I know we have been told otherwise as well. The bigger issue is he said the cost to buy those two parts would be over $700. I willing be exploring other vendors muffler options to potentially have a custom muffler assembly installed.

these were numbers on box that was shipped. call borla to make sure what these numbers are. hope it helps.

Update. That was not the issue. Back to figuring out which damn piece of heat shielding is vibrating at low rpm.

Just reading through this thread - did you ever figure out the source of the vibration? I am having the same issue sporadically.

I did. The back section was too close to the heat shield around the spare tire. Driver side was making contact at low vibrational speeds. Dropped the tire and easily bent the shield further away.

Was amazed that was it as it appeared to have just under an inch of clearance between the two.
