How to make your Silverado or GMC truck sound instantly better by this free exhaust flapper mod.
GM has an active valve in the exhaust for the DOD or displacement on demand function to cancel out the low frequencies of the exhaust. This modification will show you how to hold that valve open all the time so you get all the HORSEPOWER!!!!!

Watched this and went right and did it. Thank you sir. Way better! After spending $70k on a new trail boss and $8000 on 6" lift,wheel and tires. There are no beans left for any exhaust mods.

Use my reciprocating saw cut just before that valve and just behind the stock muffler and clamped me a Borla XR-1 in its place and its got a deep growl sounds great and the Borla won t rust there stainless steel paid $136 on Amazon for the Borla. I put in on my Trail Boss LT sounds great

Mine is AHEAD or upstream of the muffler. I wanted to retain that qiietstealth sound of the factory exhaust so I opted for the stainless steel motorized dump valve. It can be loud or quiet when it suits me. I put the dump valve ahead of the flapper valve and used a turndown to blow it to the side of the truck.

Put a Flowmaster super 44 in my truck tonight and ran into that valve so I left it and it barely changed the sound. If I cut it out and put a peice of pipe in there will that give it the normal effect? Or should I cut the valve and the secondary muffler by the tailpipe as well

My 2016 6.2l valve is not working as it should, so I'm going to do this hack to try it out... honestly, mine sounds so bad at start-up as well as while driving I thought I had an exhaust leak at first. I may be swapping the mufer as well in the future for a little more rumble. Again, great hack. Glad I found this.

I’m not brave enough to do a KZbin video, if I do- I will probably try to do it like you did. Nicely done. That said… I didn’t catch if you mentioned what engine you have, but I’m guessing that’s not a 6.2. Maybe I should try it out and send it to you. I also don’t think I caught how long your screw was. I have a 21 RST 6.2 and the run up is disappointing to say the least.
