ok thanks. Did you do the install yourself or have it done at a shop? Also how much louder did it make your truck? I'm not worried about the noise except at 6 AM haha, already pissed off a few neighbors with my corsa catback.

HAHA I go to the gym at 5 every morning and i'm pretty sure my neighbors probably HATE me starting my truck that early... but I love it... so its a risk i'm willing to take!

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

Hi there I've tried researching a bit but since it's Friday i figure I'd just ask here- I'm looking for opinions about catted or catless headers. Got a corsa sport catback with 3rd cat delete and have narrowed down longtubes to ARH, kooks, and stainless works. This is on a 6.2. My question is what would the biggest difference be between the catted and catless headers obviously besides noise and a tune? Or is that it? :D wouldn't mind going louder but don't wana have to much pop n rasp going on that ory pipes usually make. I do love the slight rumble at idle right now. Would appreciate any feedback thanks!

I did the install with my brother, he is a mechanic, so we did it at his shop after hours.

 

I already had Borla Catback, so it didn't get too much louder. However, it became a lot more raspy....which I didn't like, so I added the factory resonator back and that resolved the issue.

 

With Corsa and Catless headers, you're gonna piss off your neighbors and your neighbors neighbors.

With Corsa, you're definately going to want to get a catted Y pipe if you don't want Rasp or Popping, etc.

 

Tune will be very similar, if not the same between catless Y or catted.

There is a youtube video from a member on here, he had ARH & Volant Catback. Volant is Corsa basically, just lower grade.

 

His video shows Volant before and after headers, it will be exactly what you need to hear.

 

I5ZQ8 is his youtube id.

 

Edit: here you go.

Well that's good, hopefully be able to do it at my buddy's shop after hours. Hopefully mine won't be too raspy. But I will deal with that when the time comes

Is there a catback system that is the similar to borla touring without the 1k price tag? I was looking at the mbrp, but heard it's loud...also looking at the corsa db, but haven't heard any reviews and don't know much about it. I'm wanting something along the lines of borla/corsa touring catback, just hate the price.lol..

 

How do you like the sounds of this ?

If you are in new York I will sell you my mbrp kit cheap. Had it on for 3 days. Way too loud for my taste but the overall tone was pretty decent.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
