I like the looks of your install, I'm in the market to install a new exhaust on the truck. Is that tip single to dual outlet, if so I'm thinking about doing your set up but on both sides or is that over doing it?

I have a Corsa sport exhaust for sale. Fits double cab standard bed with 5.3L. Used for 750$. Local pickup zip 08865.

Finally, another "Drone-Brother"! Haha... yeah, I learned to love drone when I put that Billy Boat cat-back on the Vette... Loud and drone-heavy! :thumbs:

 

Cool yeah i used to have a couple dsm's and evos and whenever ib would go to a meet With 2 or 3 cars crusin side by side sounded sweet with drone haha. We'll see how bad it is with my truck very soon. Cant imagine its gonna be too bad since my truck doesnt go into V4 as easy as it did before the tires

So I can anyone with the Corsa side outlet exhaust comment on the sound and drone (if any) in V-4 mode on the highway and around town? I'm very close to purchasing one but I can't find many reviews of the exhaust system. Thanks in advance!

anybody remove the resonator on the stock exhaust for the 5.3L?

 

Someone did it on a 4.3L and it sounded really burly.

 

I can only imagine how the 5.3L would sound.

Yes. Pretty much anyone gutting the stock exhaust is cutting out everything from 3rd cat back. Some are cutting out the 3rd cat as well. I have the 18" magnaflow with resonator V4 flapper gone and its plenty loud. I had the 14" magnaflow for a day and went to another shop and had it cut out for the 18". If anyone wants the 14" its for sale. Lol

What Problems does that cause cutting out that third CAT? Doesnt it have sensors that mess with smogging and such.I dont have to smog my vehicles but I just want to know for my own good. I will most likely do it anyways, and go with true duels but I want to know.LOL

None. The third cat is not monitored by a sensor. Cutting it out has no effect on the truck. It is simply a third cat to comply to California emissions. Feel free to hack away.

I have the 22" Mag with Rez and Flapper delete. It sounds just about right with a nice deep rumble, yet not too loud for rear seat passengers to talk comfortably.

 

I'm guessing the 14" is pretty loud with both resonator and flapper removed.

 

(Not trying to answer for "whodatfan", just giving you a comparison.)

Yep. Just too loud for me. Not that it didnt sound kickass, just a step or so louder than I wanted.

Does anyone think it would be possible to have 2 exhaust options? By this I mean cut the exhaust system just before the muffler and put in an electric cut out, from the cut out, run one way to the muffler #1 (this one would be a more tame exhaust sound) and then the other exit for the cutout would go to a much less tamed, much louder muffler, muffler #2. For these purposes lets say that muffler #1 would be an 18" or 22" magnaflow, and muffler #2 would be a 14" magnaflow or a super 40 series American thunder from Flowmaster. After the mufflers, the pipes from each would them run to the same exhaust tip(s).

 

It's something I have been wondering about. I mean, we all have those times where you don't want to wake up everyone in the neighborhood or in your house becuase you are leaving early morning so you would want your truck to be a bit more on the quiet side, while at other times you are wanting your truck to just shut down anyone else who tries to roll up next to you and rev their exhaust at you.

 

Anyone think this would be something worth trying? After I get everything else done that I want to do to my truck, I may try this. Unless someone already has and had a bad experience.

    • We have now!  2027 GMC Sierra  Early look, but I'm a GMC guy and so far I think I like the looks of the Chevy better.
    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.
