UPDATE ON GIBSON: The cat back stainless steel extreme dual version was $459.00 shipped at autoanything with my last coupon, After running it for a while I did not like the v4 warble as the muffler sits sguarly between cab and box on crew cab. I got a 12 x 20 piece of light gauge aluminum rolled the edges 1/2 inch and wrapped it with header wrap. Used three hose clamps and secured it to the Gibson muffler on top. Had to form the sides with a wood vise to bend around the muffler a little prior to clamping. Got rid of most of the in cab warble from the v4 and quieted the rest down in cab by a little. Well pleased with the results and with windows down or in between walls so you can hear it sounds great, Fulll throttle or just running up to speed is a real nice tone. V4 above 50 mph is negligable and below 50 easily ignored even in back seat. Removal (actually gutting) of third cat has not shown up as anything negative, no lights etc. so figure the reduced back pressure is a good thing, averaging 18mpg on 25 mile commute with mild grades and 60-70 speeds, can get 21 if I want to granny it. No road trips yet for highway mileage.

Any pictures / sound clips?

I've had my Corsa cat back installed now for about two weeks and put about 350 miles on the truck. I couldn't be happier with the sound and performance. Zero drone and no difference in sound while switching into v4 mode. Worth the extra coin.

Sounds real good at idle and I like the tip. From what I can tell watching it from my phone, it looks like a single pipe kit with a dual tip, correct?

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah single in single out to dual tip. Most people hate on the dual tip out but I really like it and compare to all other cat backs on the market thus far I think this one takes the cake.

Have any plans of making some more videos. I'd love to hear an interior video on acceleration and cruising. Thanks.

Yeah eventually I'll make some more vids when I can roll around with the windows down and actually enjoy being outside lol. This week it'll be in the teens most of the days/nights.. Check out the thread I have when the truck was on the dyno you can hear it some more.

Very nice. My buddy used to drive up there to have his 2500HD dynoed and tuned by him. Long drive to Ohio from P.A. but his experience was worth it.

    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
