Corsa if you have the dough.. aFe if you like your wallet fatter. I had the corsa on my 05 and loved it. Also, now am running the aFe on my 14 and love it. Helicopter sound is there when switching from V4 to V8 but in town I run it in m5 like everyone suggests. On the highway there is no drone but get on the gas and you can tell its there.

 

I've heard "helicopter" sound a few times. Not sure what that is. I just know that I put a magnaflow on my dads 08 suburban, and it sounded like shit when it went into V4 mode. Droned like a bitch. I want to avoid that and any other annoying sounds at all costs.

I just want something that is gonna sound good, with a nice growl, not be too loud on idle, and absolutely will NOT drone in V4 mode....there are so many choices. Anyone have suggestions?

I highly recommend the magnaflow 18" muffler. It sounds great at idle, nice sound on start up and not too loud while running. The only thing you hear is a small flutter when it kicks to V4 but I certainly wouldn't call it drone. And honestly, after hearing for 10 minutes on my drive home from the dealership, I hardly even notice it.

I've heard good things on Corsa and Borla cat backs. And they are guaranteed no-drone.

ive got a corsa sport for sale. its for the double cab if that's what you got.

Be sure to give us a report back on how it sounds. I'm especially curious about how it sounds when cruising at 65/75 on the highway. I'm looking for something real quiet on the highway.

I plan on making a full comparison video of stock exhaust vs the Corsa exhaust, with cold start ups, acceleration inside and outside, as well as cruising inside and outside. I have a gopro like camera that I can use to mount on the outside of my truck to get sound samples!

I'll sell you more corsa and through in the range V8 for free.

Why don't you like your Corsa?

Loved the Corsa, hated all the problems with my Chevy. So I got rid of it.

Drone in V-4?

Not really, I wouldn't call it drone. It was just an audible difference. Very tolerable. later I installed the Range V8 so V4 was non-existant.

I have read a bit about the "drone" or Helicopter sounds when switching from V8-V4. Is this something that cannot be overlooked or ignored? Is the sound too much to bear?

I am looking into Gibson, Flowmaster, Corsa and MagnaFlow, anyone have any definite pros or cons?

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
