Finally got around to compiling most of my photos and threads of my 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 ECSB. I know my build thread isn't put together the cleanest way or how most members have put their's together, but I'm just glad that everything is together and in somewhat of the correct order of when it was added onto my truck.
September 30, 2010. All the documents signed and ready to drive her off Classic Chevrolet's new truck lot!
I was afraid to haul anything in the perfect paint bed before getting the Line-X bedliner.

I won this brand new SLP LM II off ebay for $75 shipped. The seller bought the wrong series and didn't want to mess with returning it to SLP. I had Big John's Muffler Shop in Haltom City, TX remove the factory cat-back system and install my new setup for $70. They fabbed up a 3" turndown that was long enough after the SLP LM II outlet end to weld a hanger on the turndown pipe and reuse the stock exhaust hanger location to support the SLP LM II. This setup is in conjunction with the stock exhaust manifolds, y-pipe, and all the cats.
I really like both the interior and exterior tone of the SLP LM II dumped before the axle on my 5.3 liter V8. There is a very small amount of interior reasonance at around 1,900 rpm if you keep it at that point. Compared to my old 1998 Chevy Cheyenne SCSB, I was really impressed with Chevy's engineering of sound deadening the inside of the 2010 Silverado Extended Cab. There is quite a big difference in how loud the exhaust is when the door is opened and closed.
After several hundred miles with my SLP setup, I did notice one of the small acess panels on one of the extended cab's door panel (the ones that hide mounting bolts) start to vibrate as the rpm range increased. This was easily fixed with a little dynamat applied on the back of the acess panel. I had already planned to dynamat both the inner and outer door skins, backs of the door panels, and the other plastic interior pieces that are touching metal for a sound system in the future.
Sorry for all the wind noise in the video, the SLP Loudmouth II sounds WAYYY better in person!! It's been very windy here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for the last few weeks. At the very end of the last scene, the video cuts off for some unknown reason just as I'm getting into the gas. I'll try and shoot another video with the camera closer to the turndown during reving and another shot of the interior take-off scene.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
