I installed the LB7 down pipe.....muffler elimanation pipe....finger stick....egr block off plate.....No codes and she runs great.

At idle the exhaust note will suddenly change from a high pitched jet sound to a low grumble for a few secs....then back to the jet.


What is causing this?

That is the VVT turbo doing its thing. Changing vane angles.

I assume angle of the turbo vanes - open / close. Probably because of missing backpressure...

It's normal. My wife was afraid something was wrong, as she is the main driver of our new truck (05 GMC Crew/dually) and she was used to the sound of our 03 LB7 with a Banks exhaust (more bark and rumble) I acutally like the sound, especially on an aggressive take off. Sounds like a jet taking off:cool:
