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.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
