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!

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.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      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.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      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.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      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.
