Installing and Testing the MOST EXPENSIVE Silverado ZR2 Exhaust!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- 3rd exhaust system on the ZR2 so far. It's VERY expensive, but is it worth it? Comparing all 3 in this video with decibel levels at idle, highway, cold start, etc. Does it drone?

Still have my ZR2, love it, it's on 37's now, awesome truck
I think it’s the best sounding exhaust not only for this 6.2 but for a lot of other vehicles out there as well. That h-pipe really has that nice deep tone which I love🔥
You knocked it out of the park Matt. Great vid!
Like your shirt too haha
My lord does that AWE sound amazing. That no drone tech is nuts. It seems like it doesn't drone at all on the highway, but when ya get on it, lol. Goozebumpz. That bashguard is super cool btw.
Yup, my thoughts exactly!
Looks and sounds excellent. I'll be getting one for my ZR2 for sure.
Matt, I love to watch you do your own mods. Its a great tutorial for those of us that still like to wrench on our own vehicles. Exhaust looks and sounds amazing. Let us know if you’re able to adjust the mufflers sideways to eliminate the partial hanging below the frame. Great work!
Thanks! I'm sure I could flip the muffler that hangs lower, but that would require some cutting a welding.
It's very funny I noticed the permit tag holder, just picked up a blue ZR2 from Upstate last month. Best truck ever.
AWE killing it in domestic market lately. Have it on my 3.6 Jeep Gladiator, albeit nowhere as badass sounding as this. Makes me want 5.3 or 6.2 Silverado
They make the BEST stuff!
A. Mustang B. Durango C. Viper
D. Charger E. Suzuki
I failed the test!! Sounds great man! Gosh darn racecar sounds!
You guessed them all correctly! lol
AWE Exhaust sounds absolutely bananas and very good! If I want that kind of exhaust setup, I would prefer AWE's BashGuard
I need it for my E36!
Sounds great. I went Borla attack muffler. Very throaty and no drone.
Both solid options.
Thanks for helping me make my mind up when my ZR2 comes in..
Frustrating waiting I'm sure!
Sounds amazing! perfect to the truck without doubts
Agreed!
That sound is so mean! Sounds incredible!
Agreed!
Sounds great. Definite improvement!!
Agreed!
Oh my goodness. Fine I’ll buy the exhaust already..
I’ll take the straight pipe for a 21 trail boss project I’m workin on!
Send me an email or DM on Instagram.
I put a kit on my Mustang and it inspired my neighbors to do some to their Tundra lol
Lol, my neighbors do not mod their vehicles.
Just got this for my AT4X AEV. Got to do some modification beacause of the AEV package agressive skid plating, but it just sound SSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. You should have recorded some Low mode downshift. Downshift in low mode sound soooooo good. Record it.
I sold the truck but fantastic exhaust!!
@Matt13Ross yeah, just saw that. Beacause of views.
Sounds great. Really informative. You may want to purchase a Range Technology DFM/Auto stop plug in device. plug it into your OBD port to turn off the DFM and auto stop. They are a couple hundred bucks I think. I have one on my 2020 TB 5.3 LT and it works flawless. Keep them vids coming !!!
I'm going to when available on the 22s.
I still like the borla s type and atak. But your sounds badass
Both are solid options.
I love it. Will definitely get one for my ZR2, if I ever get it. Ordered it on 3/24. Its now sitting in the Mexican desert near Silo waiting for parts to finish. Question: Have you had any issues with paint peeling/chipping around the hood scoop or bottom of doors? Great ZR2 videos! Keep 'em coming
Frustrating waiting, hence why I cancelled the one I ordered and found one 6 hours away. No issues with hood paint.....yet. Thank you!
I agree with you, it sounds great.
Love it!
Yes
Lol... Whatever you are doing to your ZR2, I'm doing to mine!! Thanks for the vids bro.
Btw... you need to get some serious sponsorship from these companies because you and I are keeping them in business. 💯😄
Thanks! Hey I'd love some more sponsors! lol
You go through a full tank on this video 🤣🤣
LOL darn near it!
Like the muffler delete .
It was good, but the drone with the muffler delete sucked.
You might have sold me on this exhaust. I’ve been waiting to see what borla comes out with for the at4x, but I was looking at this system. I want the truck to be quiet when taking long road trips, but ruble when I step in it. The fact this doesn’t drone interests me. 107 seems pretty loud though lol
It's loud for sure, but perfectly quiet on the highway when cruising!
Fantastic dude!!
Thank you!
Sounds good man, I’m gonna get it
You wont' regret it!
Sounds good but honestly the borla on my truck sounds just as good. You can’t go wrong with either setup.
Borla makes good stuff. I was told the Borla on the ZR2 isn't very loud though. Is yours a ZR2?
@@matt13ross I have some exhaust clips on my channel. The Borla ATAK is stupid loud if you take off the resonators. I left mine on because I daily drive this truck and I’m often in real quiet neighborhoods lmao
TTR: any drone with it?
@@matt13ross Honestly very little. It’s great.
How much did you pay for this exhaust, or was it given to you by AWE for review? I have the Borla on my ZR2 and they sound similar on cold start, but the AWE seems louder when you get on it. Glad to see you took the time to clean up the cuts with a file. My only issues with this exhaust is the low hanging mufflers, having to cut the stock y-pipe, and the the added weight of dual pipes and mufflers. Looks very well made!
They gave it to me to test. I wouldn't call the mufflers low hanging, I'll show them in the next video.
Depends on what you get, 1700$ to 2300$
I have a 2021 trail boss with 5.3 I was thinking about going with awe system but then again borla cat back sounds super nice as well
Both are solid options, but I LOVED my AWE.
@@matt13ross let me ask you do you think they both sound the similar or does awe have more aggressive sound to it?
Haven’t heard the Borla in person. AWE is loud but also doesn’t drone.
My biggest problem is the lack of an X pipe for scavenging and how far the mufflers hang down since I'm actually taking the rig through trails. However I DO appreciate them tips bruh
I stand corrected, saw the H pipe on their website, which isn't as bad as separated like I thought
Yup, nice H pipe in there! I'll have to get better footage, but it hardly hangs down below the frame. I may even be able to turn them sideways, but I haven't dug that deep yet.
Hey… I made it into the video!
Sure did, thanks for the help!
If you were removing the stock system before you did the delete would you still have to cut in front of the muffler? Doesn't look like there's a way to get the stock system out without cutting.
You can get it out without cutting I believe by dropped the transmission crossmember.
@@matt13ross Thank you!
Sounds fantastic
Agreed!
Sounds so good !
Awesome sound! I want it for my Colorado ZR2 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
We need to buy this man some sort of lift. He's doing the Lord's work... In other news, I have my eye on this exact same "bashplate" version.... once again sir you have nailed it!
Haha, would LOVE a lift! However my tiny garage won't support it. My truck doesn't even fit inside lol.
Cat eye Silverado long tube header Tsp no cats on carven 4in dual tips 👍🏾
That sounds a little too spicy for me lol.
Hell Yea
Don't know how I missed this video but damn son that sounded good,real good.it needs a hairy cam though fuggin 😆👊
No one seemed to watch this video :(
Not a fan of how the mufflers hang below the frame line. If going offroad the mufflers will definitely hang up on a rock or two. However, the sound is awesome 👌
They don't hang down much and I may be able to turn them sideways. Have to look into that.
Ok my kids are all playing rec ball for fall! If you know you know
The goal is to have a loud exhaust? If so, any concern about disturbing neighbors?
I aim the exhaust away from the neighbors lol.
Sounds awesome!! Nothing like a bad ASS CHEVY V8 rumble. Makes you sad to think it will all be going away when the world changes to all ELECTRIC CRAP that sound likes my moms vacuum
Big old V8 noises won't ever get old! But yes, electric is dawning on all of us.
Sounds great but the price is crazy high $3000. I have a 21 trail boss with mbrp cat back exhaust, at a fraction of the price and I don't have drone. It Sounds awesome though
MBRP makes good stuff too. This exhaust is expensive, but not $3000 lol.
2019 5.3 true dual no mufflers. No drone and only $500
Compared to the muffler delete, on the outside is the truck louder or about the same? I want this exhuast for the no drone aspect but I currently have mine muffler deleted exactly like you did, and its about as loud as I want it to be on the outside but it drones terribly.
Louder
To bypass the DFM, drive the truck in L9. V8 the whole time.
I bypassed it by selling the truck.
@@matt13ross 🤙
Awesome
Dang that sounds great 👍
Agreed, surprised me how good it sounds.
great job ❤️
Thanks!
Hey if you throw it in L9 on the tranny it seems to lose the DFM BS, just threw a 40 series flowmaster on my ZR2 and the L9 loses all that DFM sound
Honestly I can't hear it in the cab, so it doesn't bother me. But yes, I believe that would work.
Just wondering if you waited one year without buying a Silverado zr2. Which one would you consider having? 2023 Colorado zr2 or silverado zr2 bison edition
I don't want a Bison unless is way different. I don't want to pay a bunch of money for ugly bumpers and skid plates. I am excited for the 23 Colorado ZR2 though.
@@matt13ross me too. That’s probably what I’m gonna try to get next year is a 23 Colorado zr2. Thanks for all the content. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you and thanks for the support!
Maybe you could figure a way of getting flames to come out when you lift off the throttle like in nascar land.🤫
Haha! I don't think that's possible with newer vehicles.
@@matt13ross Anyone who’s gutsy enough to tear apart a brand new $70,000 truck, I figure could do anything if they tried hard enough.
Do the mufflers hang lower at any point? Don't want to lose too much ground clearance.
I'll add some footage of that in the next video.
Just got mine for my zr2! Do they sponsor in any way if I make a video ?
Maybe reach out to them.
What do you think about GMC AT4X AEV?
Overpriced (assuming close to $100k), still has 33s, lame IMO.
Put truCk in 9th gear and won't dfm noise .
Can't hear it inside so it doesn't really bother me.
I’ve tried many setups and true dual without mufflers has been my favorite and it only ran me $500. Your setup sounds good but nowhere near $1700 better.
But I imagine duals with no mufflers had terrible drone?
@@matt13ross I can hardly hear it when I’m cruising. I had flowmaster super 10’s with an h pipe and it droned way worse. My current setup is nice and tame until I hammer on it. Cruising at 70mph I’m getting 66-67 decibels, but it’s just noise coming from my 35” mud tires
I have the same troka I want the same thing how can I get them
Hi Matt, now that you have had the exhaust on the truck for five or take 2 weeks now, how has it been? Has it settled? Has it broken in and gotten louder and deeper? Has the quality gone down and would you recommend this still 2 weeks after buying it over borla? PS don’t get rid of the ZR2 Silverado keep it keep the L87 376ci v8 going she sounds so good!
Still sounds amazing with no drone! Love it!
Anyone take you up on your muffler delete yet?
Not yet!
welding vs clamps??
Clamps worked fine for me.
I have the same troka I want the same thing how can I get them
What thing?
No helicopter chasing u sound nice my 21 rst with a borla atak muffler sounded like a helicopter was chasing me when dfm kicked in
DFM is annoying for sure.
And its made in your state
Yup, right here in PA / Merica!
@Matt Ross this is up there with the typical hellcat resonator delete that people are doing on the trx and that truck is also a monster
I'd imagine they sound similar. Both 6.2 push rod V8s.
@@matt13ross except one is supercharged the other is not. it sounds like a fair race when you put a stock zr2 silverado against a 702hp off road beast. i've already seen a glacier blue zr2 get the gap by a stock trx on 37's and it was brutal. trx won zr2 lost
If I decide to long travel my truck, the next mod is a supercharger for sure.
@@matt13ross whipple supercharger? or pro charged?
Unsure, haven't researched them yet. Whichever is more cost efficient and easier to install. Probably Pro charger. I don't need a bunch more power, 100 extra would be fine for me.
Very nice
12:12 Fuck yeah
Il take it.
The muffler delete?
@@matt13ross yes if it's OK.
Yea, there's a few people interested I gotta figure out a fair way to let it go.
@@matt13ross no worries man. Let it go to somone closer. I'm in nb Canada just thought it woulda sounded awesome on my 98 .
I never understood a exhaust system on a vehicle with a automatic transmission. I like mine on vehicles with manual transmissions.....
Sounds better with at manual but can't get trucks that way anymore.
Sounds like annoying sleeping neighbors to me. lol
LOL they are not into vehicles like I am.
Curious about your comment about wasting money on Borla....it's cheaper than this setup and Borla is a reputable exhaust company too.
You're not wrong, Borla makes great stuff. From what I've been told / read, the Borla on the ZR2 is a little underwhelming sound wise. Plus it's still a single exhaust, not a dual exhaust like the AWE. I think the AWE is worth the extra cost.
@@matt13ross fair enough. I am honestly looking for something not super loud, so a little tamer might fit the bill for me. AWE did sound great though.
What's great is, it's nice and quiet on the inside, which is very important to me!
The Borla sounds better. Always has.
I like both. No drone with this exhaust though.
Dfm sounds like an old tractor
Little bit yea, sort of like my Colorado diesel lol.
Just wait, I’ve had mine on for close to 1000 miles, it gets better, almost tunes itself…2022 trail boss midnight edition 6.2, looks great with the 4” quad tips, try driving it in L9, cuts out the DFM I think….
Yea the quad tips look good on the trucks with bumper cutouts for sure.
🤤
👍👍
Uh, va-room, va-room, uh wap pop pop pop, zaddy.
LOL
The last part is scary 😳 dfm sucks
It's not too bad or noticeable.
Lol’MERICA

Borla is much better
Disagree
