Anything to be gained by just replacing muffler?

I'm not quite sure which directory is for exhaust but thought I would start here.
If it needs to be moved, my mistake.

Anyway- my truck is leased so I really hate to dump 1k into a Corsa catback although I know I would more than likely be pleased with the results.
Can a muffler replacement be made, and would one receive worthwhile results?

I am just looking for more of a 6.2l V8 sound and less engine noise. I'm extremely leery of bolting a Flowmaster or Magnaflow onto the truck knowing how bad they sounded on my Pontiac with AFM.
It sounded like a dying cow in 4 cylinder mode and droned badly at certain rpm levels.

I want to do the same thing! I want the sound of my 2008 Escalade that I just traded in for my new 2016 Suburban. You can barely hear it running and I want that 6.2 sound that my Escalade had. Nothing obnoxious or really loud just a little rumble or some throat to it.

All you're really going to get is sound from an exhaust without accompanying mods. On a lease, I would see if there's a bolt on kit available so you can return it to stock

To be honest, I'm actually pretty impressed with the 6.2 sans the AFM that is.

You could go with a carven exhaust, they type r. I have one on my 5.3 and she sounds awesome, in my opinion just as good as a corsa.

If my truck was a lease, I'd have a muffler shop cut off stock but put flanges on it and the carven muffler. This way you could swap the stock back in when needed.

The price of carven is $100 last I checked plus say a few hundred for the flange work.
