We went with AWE OFG. Wasn't as simple of an install as the gen pop gets considering our Sierra is modified for a passenger side wheel chair lift by ATC. So the passenger floor is dropped 14" and naturally the stock exhaust is changed (routed under the cross bars not over like stock) so it wasn't a direct bolt in for us. With the modification it has a 3" body lift which I keep finding to be troublesome with aftermarket parts. So far CAI cold air intake (due to the motor sitting 3" lower then stock orientation to the air box), splash guards raise with the body so they weren't doing anything I had to add extenders. Which now leads me to the 3" body lift affecting the exhaust also. The bumper is raised with the truck body so it doesn't look stupid this naturally raises the hdmi port cut out area. Didn't even dawn on me this would be an issue until I got out from under the truck and walked over with the Y tips.
Cold start is loud, it tames down pretty quick to a nice rumble, no drone (don't pull a trailer so can't confirm in that condition but they guarantee with the 180 tech no drone). In cab conversation is just fine even when you get on it which is when it comes to life after cold start. Otherwise it's quiet but nothing like stock. It also has no backfire, pops, or raspiness like you hear in all the Borla ATAK videos. So that's a win win.
Price is right up there with Borla unless you get it from Tunersports and use the coupon code at the top. I also wasn't charged sales tax.
Total $1,580.81 Then I paid $19.48 to Summit for the 3.5" to 3" flange adapter and $30 to an exhaust shop twice (once to weld the flange adapter to the flex pipe and again to just weld the flange adapter/reducer to the ball flange on the truck because the clamp wouldn't seal the reducer to the ball flange. Still got it under the general retail after tax.
Thankfully the Y tips connect by ball flange and I was able to adjust them up to where they should be with the 3" body lift. It is what it is. Probably could have had custom exhaust done for less trouble, time, and money lol.
