2001 Team DC Audio build (2025 revive)

[Onebad1983]

Dynomax came in today. Along with a new push button switch and the blue tint for my odometer. Haven’t had a chance to pull out the cluster to put the tint on yet.

cut out the flowmaster 40 and clamped in the dynomax. Wanted to make sure I liked it and want to be able to easily take it off when I order new piping. When p/o put on the flowmaster they welded on a like foot long section of 3” on the output and gap welded the 3” to the factory 2.75” tail pipe. So I’m definitely going to be replacing it here soon.

it’s more throaty than the flowmaster and less cackly in the high rpm range. I’d say it’s louder driving, less drone, but it’s quieter idling it seems. So far I’m enjoying it. View attachment 243946 View attachment 243947 View attachment 243948 View attachment 243950 View attachment 243949

I need to meet up with you some day and we're going to replace ALL of the lights in my interior lol. Also where did you get that push button switch from and how hard was it to install? I need it!

If you were close by I’d definitely help you out! And they are super easy to install. You can wire it a couple different ways I wired mine so the light would only come on when the button was pressed. I got it off Amazon here is the link.

Nice. Can't wait to see what that tint will look like. Possible to get a sound clip up of the Dynomax? I had them years ago on my Supercharged Tbird and didn't like them. They sounded too "tinny" for my liking. I'm thinking of replacing my MBRP, so I'm looking for something a little more throaty with less drone. Having long tubes with no cats doesn't help either lol.

can videos upload on here or do I need to upload it on YouTube and attach it in here never tried it before. I it sounds deep compared to my flowmaster. I feel like my flowmaster sounded tinny. But I agree longtubes and no headers don’t help with that lol.

Gotta upload to youtube 1st, then attach the link using the little film icon.

Okay sounds good I’ll try to get a couple videos today.

Cool.

Alright here is a video I put together. So far I like the dynomax better. It’s less restrictive and sounds better throughout the rpms. I took the video the same way I did back when I first got the longtubes installed with the 40s as you’ll see. Once I get the full 3” exhaust done I’ll put another video on

I think it sounds good! Have you taken it for a ride yet? Any drone at highway speeds?

yeah I have drove it a decent amount yesterday and today since I put it on. Cruised right around 80 going to my uncles house on the highway. Doesn’t drone at least not that I notice. I have a crap load of sound deadener in my Tahoe though so I really don’t know how much is being muffled by all of the deadener and spray foam. If anything though it’s less drone than my flowmaster was. It feels a lot better now that I have a straight through style muffler compared to the chambered. Don’t get me wrong I love flowmasters especially how they sound on my 69 pickup(longtubes, true dual 2.5” with 40’s dumped in front the the axle) but I’m enjoying this dynomax on the Tahoe. Definitely gonna order the exhaust piping soon so it’s 3” all the way out. Might change the sound a touch but I don’t feel like it will make that much of a difference.

Thank you I’m enjoying it just can’t wait to have it all done and get rid of the stock piping under there lol

Damn that's a big difference! I never knew you had long tubes. Did you have to get it retuned when you got them installed? And how was the power difference? Cost?

yes I deleted egr and cats. My buddy does gm ls tuning with efi live. Also used that when I did the electric fan swap as well. I think it was around 500 for the longtubes, y pipe, and stage 8 locking bolts. I paid 125 for the vin unlock for efi live and my buddy did a tune and turned off rear o2 sensors/egr

Was there a noticeable power difference?

 

[Thatsquishykid717]

yeah with the tune, headers, and electric fan swap it was definitely noticeable. Expecially if I don’t have my 500+ lb subs/enclosure in the back haha. Everytime I pull my subs out it feels like I gain 50hp. I wish I would have done all that before the stereo and dual alts because with all the weight and extra drag on the motor its like I’m constantly towing a trailer

Boost will solve that

 

[Thatsquishykid717]

Mmm boost and 155+ dB stereo are two combos I really want one day lol

tried the blue tint that I ordered. On the 99-02 you can’t pull up the face easily like the 03-06 so my inky option was to put the blue tint on the face. Well two layers later it didn’t do a lot and looked like poo. The 99-02 needles aren’t easy to reset like the 03-06 so I’m gonna try to think of another way to do it.
