MBRP S5065304 Cat Back

red454 · October 14, 2019

Has anyone installed the MBRP catback S5065304 on a 2019 6.2L? Looking for opinion on overall sound and if there is any interior drone.

Hey there, I'm glad you're asking before purchasing!! I too picked this system because it was stock tubing diameter and I anticipated a nice, mild, 'mature sound'. What I ended up with is horrible drone in the cab, like BAD! It sounds like a 16 year old just found his fathers hacksaw in the garage and cutt his muffler out. I wrote a review on MBRP and 4WheelParts.com but both denied my review as it is not showing up... I will be either adding a second muffler or scrapping the system all together.

I've read good reviews about the Magnaflow and Borla S systems having respectable noise levels.

Thank you very much! I was considering it because it was on sale for half the price of the Borla system but glad I didn't pull the trigger.

If you are looking for cheaper than the Borla, i have the the Gibson and i recommend it. It's a tamer exhaust though.

I recently installed an AFE Vulcan exhaust system and I'm really pleased with the quality and the deep sound. It may be a little more $$ than the Gibson but nearly the cost of Borla.

I also added a K&N air intake which lets it breathe easy....

The afe sounds good, it's very deep. Volume wise, what would you compare it to?

How is the interior noise? I'm trying to avoid adding any interior drone.

That's tough to say. I've only heard mine and the GMC factory performance exhaust. It's got a deeper tone to it than the factory performance system and it's a little louder but not too loud. I've got allot of compliments on the way it sounds.

Good to know, thanks. If i ever want something louder than my Gibson, i might just check it out.

Interior noise is not bad. It's got minimal drone. In fact it's relatively quiet at cruising speed but you can hear it when accelerating or decelerating...
