- Doing some experiments on my 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Duramax Diesel. It already had an aftermarket exhaust and tune, but now I'm deleting the muffler for a complete straight pipe exhaust. How does it sound and run? Find out!
Weekly videos featuring my 2018 Colorado ZR2 Diesel, 2003 Chevy Silverado ZF6 LB7 Duramax, and 1994 BMW 325is E36 LS1 T56 swap, and friend's videos.

6:22 for people who just want to cut to the chase
You're the real MVP
As a 22 year old kid I would definitely leave it off😂 that’s great!!
Lol yea younger would have too.
as a 23 year old with this truck i agree. i fucking love it
I’m 37 but I’d leave it off
I’m 26 and still would leave it
30yo and run straight pipe 7.3
Thank you for doing these videos for us guys that may not have the time or financial resources to try this stuff!
Love hearing the positive feedback! Thanks!
Bruh the community needed this 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! Plenty more videos to come.
@@matt13ross Hi
I am not sure if you seen my question, I would like to ask if you know yours buddy tuneup software and where can I possibly get it?
Thank you very very much!
@@vepo2341 get out HD diesel supply for emission complaint and other tunes
@@matt13ross thank you
Bro that truck sounds amazing idk what ur talking about😂😂
😂 some people like it! Too loud for me
That truck is as gay as the day is long😂 and it sounds like a broken Honda
Once again, thank you for sharing things that show me what I don't want to do on my Duramax... Enjoy...
Bro, that Dirtyminimax is not to loud and does not sound bad. It sounds great. I love it. I’d same I’m a new fan but I’ve owned them & loved the Duramax for a long time.
Not a welder or bodyman may be true but the fact you are doing this and the welds are just fine give yourself credit! Good job bro!
Thanks for the kind words! I try my best lol.
"Loud as shit" lol. Sounds like a mini duramax. Great vid!
Hood stack gonna be louder lol
Because IT IS a mini Durama lol
The exhaust break sounds good af
I think so too
A “turbo style” muffler tends to cut the drone and let the turbo noise pass through for the most part, I’ve done a few with the Dynomax 17698 and they sound pretty good, close to stock in the cab, nice on the outside. ✌️
Solid! Probably going to go with that on my turbo E30.
This was awesome. Good experiment! Pretty sure I'd get thrown in jail in California if I tried that. Also, thanks for switching up the music. lol. MUCH BETTER.
😂 good to hear!
I like the sound!!! Sounds more like a diesel!!!
It does, just a little loud for my DD.
@@matt13ross I like loud !! Original exhaust sounds like a kitty purring
@@matt13ross I like loud !! Original exhaust sounds like a kitty purring
@@redlac95 true, I like the aftermarket exhaust but still with a muffler.
I LOVE IT, 4 cyl turbo diesel is so underrated. I like loud diesels though, and cab drone don't bother me to bad. Had a 4 inch straight piped lbz and had a drone but still loved every second of it
LBZ drone is not bad, LWN is different lol.
@@matt13ross haven't heard lwn, ill look it up but my dad has a lmm and that mfer sounds like a jet engine going down the road
But I love it when he has a big load of cedar going up a hill, loudest thing ever but it's not an annoying loud it sounds really good. Huge duramax fan and the way they all sound
Living in Kentucky helps too
The LWN is the Colorado / Canyon Duramax engine code
It sounds so much better straight piped! I'd go with 5" straight pipe exhaust myself.
I don’t know of a 5” exhaust kit anyone makes. Or even a 4”
It’s not a 6.7 Cummins. 3” would be more than enough for that little engine.
just axle dump with a tip
I have a 6in on my 2012 lml. That's about the biggest you can go with tbh lol
As a 21 year old. Full straight pipe sounds mint
Sounds amazing
What’s really cool is a 4” straight pipe L5p, almost as loud as a straight pipe 6.0 😍
Someday I'll have a straight piped L5P!
My lml is a 5in strait pipe and tuned. Sounds beastly as hell
I had a straight piped (4”) 2009 Dodge Ram, it can’t be as loud as that was and I loved it. Just my opinion though.
Straight piped full size diesel trucks just sound BETTER and tolerable. My LB7 is straight piped and it's way less annoying than this was.
Mine has 4 inch pipe with Aeroturbine muffler and 6 inch tip. Sounds amazing and almost no drone. It's deeper than the 3 inch pipe and the tip makes a huge difference. Tried a 5 inch tip but it was a little louder and droned some
Was this all custom?
@@matt13ross mostly yeah. Used the front half of the turbo back kit and the rest is custom
I second the aeroturbine. Have it on my 21 Cummins with 5”
I should have kept my z71 with duramax. I love it! Sounds so good i like the loud and obnoxious diesel sound lol
I would love to change out the DPF and all the associated crap under there and give her a little more noise but since the big crack down, the EPA shows up at your door, kicks your puppy, takes your birthday away, And fines you a million dollars at the slightest muttering of the words “delete”. I’m sure there’s still a way to do it but I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole yet. I’m with you on the “keeping the muffler”. I have an old deuce and a half which were all built with a straight pipe stack and a screaming whistler turbo which ejects its battle cry right over the passengers head. I had that truck a week before I put a big’o Donaldson muffler on it. A muffler gives it so much more “growl” than a raspy screeching out the back. Awesome truck!
True story! And thanks!
Lol you weren't kidding about the welding 🤣
I’m no pro welder!!! 😂 in time
very helpful video. thanks man!
Happy to help!
Where’d you order the straight pipe kit, and your tuner?
That welding is quite nice. Looks good 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Hoping to get a TIG soon and start learning.
That sounds good af bro
Thanks!
Sounds really good. Curious how the reliability of the whole truck is? Thinking about one day building one of those.
I haven't had any issues with mine, however it only has 8k miles.
My 2006 liberty diesel I put a straight 3 inch and turned it out in front of the passenger rear tire with a 5” tip,it sounded like a little bread truck and bigger than it really was
It sounds great straight piped.
It seems to be love it or hate it.
It sounds amazing
It' unique for sure!
that thing sounds good!!!
It's kinda cool!
That’s why I hav a dump valve on mine,,,, push a button and its quite 4 towing and stuff (QUITE MODE) a push the button and its FUN loud straight piped.👍👍👍
I was thinking of doing that! One Colorado I saw on Instagram had a fender exit exhaust with an electric cut out that was sweet!
When it comes to 4 cylinder engines, diesel and gas and ESPECIALLY turbo, I think it's better to stick with intake mods so you can hear the deep intake note and turbo whistle. If you're gonna do exhaust mods at all, putting out enough money for a proper deep voiced but quiet exhaust is a must. No engine sounds all that great past a certain volume level, but 4 cylinders especially get worse as they get louder.
Did you see my intake video?
What delete and tune do you have on it?
Great Vid !!!!
Thanks!
Love it 👍🏽
Is the def system still connected or did you unplug it and leave it in the truck?
Sounds good
Sounds way better than with the muffler
Ha, I guess some people like it!
So do you have to delete it? I have a 2020 3.0l duramax in my 1500
This guy is hilarious
It sounds so go straight piped
I straight piped my Silverado (duramax) and I love it
Well yea, full size Duramax trucks sound amazing.
These vehicles today are so choked the fuck out it's not funny. I remember back when Stangs had like 4 cats. My eco diesel has 3 cats plus the dpf canister. I took off the muffler and did the Magnaflow tailpipe extension. I think it sounds clean and enough notice in sound from stock that I am happy. I would be curious to see what it sounds like with delete and downpipe.
Hey man I did the same thing. You can throw the flo pro twister 5 inch resonator in place of the muffler. Makes it a little louder and loses the drone
Solid idea!
@@matt13ross yeah man sounds way better than the flopro muffler that came with it.
@@chrisharceg I like how the flo pro sounds. Do you have a sound clip of yours?
Hey man I didn't even notice you asked for a sound clip. I'll get one for you this afternoon
@@matt13ross hey man the video is up on my TH-cam .
What did your friend do with the def tank? Drain it? Rinse it out? Leave it full of def? My canadian friend just ordered the same parts so he wants to know
DEF tank still installed and filled.
What tunes are you running?
What tune do you have and are you deleted? I wanna delete my muffler but I'm stock:/
Sounds good leave it!!!!
What tuner did u use ?
You can see his old DPF filter in the background at 1:20 😂
I don't know what you're talking about.....lol
Who did the tune? What kit?
It’s unfortunate that today’s diesel has so much crap in the exhaust. There is a big percentage of HP lost in pushing the exhaust through the DOC and the DPF. And the soot that is pushed back into the EGR and intake manifold.
But my concern is the warranty..... The forums are full of issues from EGR s plugged up to injector failure to holes in pistons to complete engines blowing up......
So I will wait till it’s out of warranty before deleting mine.
Hope it lasts till it’s out of warranty,,, fingers crossed....
My warranty is now gone lol we’ll see if it lasts. HD Diesel sells emission complaint and other tunes. Check them out.
It’s not the same straight piping a 4cylinder vs a v-8 a 4 just doesn’t sound right as a v-8 sounds absolute awesome
I agree completely
Lol, I have a weekend project coming up
Go for it! Pretty east to do.
Small truck goes mmmrrrrrpppppp
Does this kit give you check engine lights and such when you delete all the sensors?
No
Sounded good to me...
Just a little too much for me!
I want to see 1 4" chrome stack in the bed extending about 2ft higher than the top of the cab.
Don't really want to cut a hole in the bed lol
do you have the stock downpipe?
Different downpipe on it
Does this kit work on the 2021? On the website it says 2016-2020 but I don’t think there were any major changes that should make it not work?
That I’m not sure of. Send them an email they respond pretty quickly.
It does not, I've already asked, they are working on the 21 tunes and they hope to have it finished in a month or two
It sounds good straight pipe..
Not bad but just too loud for me
Did you take the catalytic converter off too?
Someone told me a cat may or may not have fallen off of the truck it had been laying on.
Bro, help, I need this same setup for my friend’s 19max, he lives up north too
Do some google searching
@@matt13ross All done. Thanks for the motivation!
I’m about to do the same shit to experience it myself I wonder if a smaller muffler can tune the sound different
I'm sure it will sound different. Will it sound good though? lol
@@matt13ross no idea
Only one way to find out
I have a 2019 ZR2 v6, is it worth trading for a diesel 2020? I really want a diesel kind of a bucket-list item. Great channel
Are you ready to live with a diesel? It's not necessarily more difficult to own but it just needs a little more attention. Your v6 is faster and a well proven motor. It just depends on your needs. I would say if you ever move up to a full size I would look at the new 3.0 diesels.
Thanks! I love diesels, and I’d pick it over the V6 for a few reasons:
Fuel mileage
It’s cooler IMO
Sound
Tuning options
Turbo
Solid points. I’d love to try out the new 3.0 in a ZR2 version of a Silverado. Would be a near perfect truck.
@@matt13ross how would we get one of those sweet tunes into the US lol (thanks EPA)
Check out HD diesel supply. They have emission complaint and other tunes.
That's a nice VW sounding truck
Lol accurate
We need a burnout vid!
😂 will have to find some private property. Not even sure if it’ll do it.
That sounds like my old Deere 6330 I used to have
I don’t doubt it!
can you roll coal when you step on it?
I don’t believe so, at least haven’t noticed it
Personally I like the un muffled
So loud though for a little truck!
I think your next mod should be straight piping a Jeep Compass
😒😒😒
At idol it sounds like a lawnmower😂
Idle is the only time I don't mind the noise lol
I wish I could teach you how to weld brah
Goal is to teach myself tig welding later this year
I would do a exhaust cut out
That's becoming a possibility for sure.
Yeah I left the muffler on... it’s loud enough as is and honestly I hate the straight pipe sound, makes it sound like the muffled sound in a tin can
Pretty accurate lol.
Lol sounds like a lawn mower idling
You're not wrong
Yeeesssssssss
Did it!
@@matt13ross now its time to smoke stack that thing like the real diesel bois do!
@@offcourseoverland waiting for 500 likes and I’ll hood stack it!
Can't tell if I like it or hate it
Lol I can see why.
Cut the muffler in 1/2 make 15 inch
Sounds like a airplane lol
Or a forklift lol
Sounds like a straight piped jetta
Pretty accurate.
how did you get the turbo whistle!
Exhaust and intake!
Sounds like an old riding mower with a turbo 😂
HAHA yup
@@matt13ross aeroturbine makes one hell of a muffler/resonator. I have a 5” “5050xl” on my 21’ Cummins and it cuts down on the rumble at idle and the screech of the vgt turbo at warmup. Sounds clean down low, but sill has a nice bark when you get into the throttle. Zero drone on the highway and inside the cab it still sounds quiet like stock (unless the windows are down!). It even increases airflow so it’s actually a hp gain, proven on a dyno. I’d highly recommend it.
Idk I kinda like it
It was unique for sure.
I would leave it off less resistance to the motor sounds better off anyhow
The muffler I have on there is straight through so I'd assume it flows pretty well.
Can someone please tell me what and how a (TURBO BRAKE ) is? I'm no genius but would you just have to let off the gas and then that would slow the turbo down. Lmao
The vanes in the turbo change positions, therefor slowing the engine down.
No I’m not gonna share this video with my wife because I’m going to buy her one of these trucks and then I’m going to straight pipe it and let her hear it in person instead of just taking someone else’s opinion through a video.
Sorry but I need to try it out for myself and if she likes it then we’re good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I say do it!!!!
Where can I get a tune for one of these 😂
HD diesel supply had emissions compliant and other tunes
@@matt13ross I found a Company in Canada that will do non emission I thinks that’s gona be my best bet
Girls truck😂
It sounds like a Jetta
Yea sorta lol
Lol try standing next to a pivot engine
I can imagine lol
I daily the truck without the muffler and personally don't think its loud
Do you mind the drone? I didn’t like that at all.
Don’t mind it. Heck you can’t even hear it over 10-15% radio volume with the windows up. It drones at around 70-72mph then cleans up above or below that speed
@@HunterSkiff that’s my highway cruising speed lol
Those are rookie numbers
😂
Not loud enough. I have a 5.7 durango Citadel running straight pipes and that's too quiet...
Meh, it was a daily.
It’s way too loud? I think it sounds awesome, but each to its own!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you don’t want that kind of attention then don’t get down on the excelerator while you’re in town!
You're not wrong there, lol.
2.7 or 3.0
2.8. 3.0 is only in the Silverado.
@@matt13ross ya I was gonna say couldn’t remember cant find nothing for my 3.0
I wish they made parts for the 3.0 because then I’d have one!
@@matt13ross same here bud
It’s not bad but it kind of does sound like a 66 beetle lol
Lmao, it is different for sure!
@@matt13ross I mean I’m not mad at it. I’ve heard more obnoxious vehicles. It might sound better with a bigger turbo or a different exhaust manifold. It has potential though.
Bro my 5inch straight piped lly is so much louder than that! Quit complaining and straight pipe it again!
Not just about the volume, doesn’t sound anywhere nearly as good as a V8 Duramax.
Sounds like a Cummins
A lil one
It sounds like a semi
A lil one
