Corsa Db on 2012 5.3


Recommended Posts

Posted

Thinking of exhaust for my 2012 Silverado 1500 5.3.

 

I am looking for an agressive sound with no interior drone or vibration. Alsp performance gain is a plus too, the 5.3 has a lot of power but there is more to be had from simple mods like this. From what I have seen everyone is going with the Corsa Db. Anyone here have experince with this?

 

If not what is your experience with outher exhaust systems? - For budget purposes this would need to stay around the $500 mark.

 

I think I posted a pic before, but here's another:

I've had the Corsa since June 2011. Truck has 48k on it now and other than AFM being more pronounced in its operation (since disabled courtesy of Blackbear!) I have zero complaints. It starts up with a nice bark but normal driving conditions all you have is a nice mellow burble from the exhaust. But when you romp on it, the sound is great. I've gotten lots of components on how it sounds. Below is a video I made the afternoon after I installed it. I don't think sound has changed any.

Thanks for posting the video Mike!

 

 

I might just be sold on the Corsa Db. What is the best tuner to disable the AFM? Sure would be nice if someone could do it for the low low.. hahaa

If you're just looking to disable AFM then the Range offering is exactly what you want. Tunes may or may not leave an electronic trail even if flashed to stock that dealers could possibly use to deny repairs (though Blackbear has helped members here win arbitration cases) whereas once the Range is unplugged there is no trace. If you're looking for a tune, look no further than Blackbear. They're a forum sponsor and have tons and tons of happy customers here. They have their own section here for FAQs.

    • I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool. 
    • Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.
    • Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:    
    • The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
