The first quarter of the year always provides so
much excitement around the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse: after many of the favored new arrivals
are on site, the many different kinds of upgrade and aftermarket parts begin to
pop up. Brand-new trucks like the Silverado are the absolute hottest thing going right now in the
auto market, and the GM Authority blog produced a video last week
showing off the fine points of the new Flow-FX cat-back exhaust system, which
is fitted to the 2019 Silverado 1500, and 2019 Sierra 1500 Crew Cab and Double
Cab sporting the 5.3-liter engine.
The company claims that the bolt-on exhaust system
is manufactured with the use of durable 4019 stainless steel throughout, and
also features a 3-inch inlet pipe that leads to a single inlet/dual outlet
muffler. This is one of the design elements that allows for its deep, raucous
sound, and potential for maximum performance. Coated in black for a solidly
aggressive stance, the 4.5-inch tips are patiently waiting to boisterously beef
up the exhaust game on your new purchase! With two 2.5-inch tailpipes custom
routed to give clearance ability for the spare tire and tow hitch, one of the
many great qualities of this system is that it very specifically holds to the
refined appearance of the factory dual exhaust.
The kit utilizes factory exhaust mounting points
and comes with instructions and all of the hardware needed to complete an at
home installation. If you are on the hunt for a system that will make your
5.3-liter Silverado or Sierra truly sound mean, this is one add-on that
should definitely be at the top of your list. Check out the video here and listen to the sounds of this sweet new
exhaust ramification, as the company provides sound clips taken from both
inside the cabin and out. The video also provides an excellent close-up look at
the system, which brandishes the straight-through performance muffler on the
right, as the journey for the exhaust moves left and ultimately through the DEM
exhaust bezels for exit.
Poised on a country road in a very natural setting
for a Silverado, a mountain range Is visible in the distance as the truck gets
ready for a medium-speed launch alongside a farming irrigation system. As you
can see on their website here, the folks at Flowmaster offer up 12 various
designs of chambered mufflers, 3 styles of “laminar-flow” mufflers, and a new
line of Flow-FX “straight-through” performance mufflers, along with 5 sound
categories of exhaust, allowing the customer the ability to tailor the sound of
the vehicle with dire precision. Trusted since 1983, they have led the industry
in offering only the very highest tier of quality good you can purchase for
your car or truck!
