Kind of a crazy question but has anyone purchased the corsa catback and had it welded together instead of using the clamps?  
 

I want to get the corsa but a little nervous of someone just unbolting and stealing it. Hell even just unbolting and stealing the tip would piss me off.

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.

I'm actually planning on getting the Corsa some time next year and was also thinking about getting it welded. Dont want to spend a grand and someone unbolt it and get it for free lol

Ended up doing my side exit. Kept the same muffler just different pipes and tips. Love the looks. It’s def louder than before but still no drone in the cabin!

  Headers are going to completely change the sound the exhaust. A lot more rasp and airflow. That Carven will probably be too loud especially if you opt for no cats.  You could do a third cat delete. That will let a little more sound thru and shouldnt have any effect on emissions or drivability.

 

I’m running Texas Speed 1 7/8” long tubes with cats, single 3” back to a Dynomax 17267 muffler, followed by a Borla Atak crate muffler(400844). I absolutely love it. This is an iteration of several different set ups. In my opinion, it’s the perfect amount of volume, tone, rasp, and rumble. Quiet when you stay out of it but will wake the dead if you lay into it. You can hear it in the cab but it’s not drone, more you just feel the exhaust. Exhaust is so subjective though. Some people like it loud and deep, some like rasp and that glass pack sound, some like it barely louder then stock. It’s really up to you. This is my current set up. Rear window down just normal driving and medium acceleration.

So i need options and opinions i currently run a Carven Progressive series catback on my 18 silverado 5.3l. I'm getting ready to have a kid and i would like to tone it back some but dont want to go completely back to stock. I love the current exhaust but it is a little bit loud inside and out. My thought are to just swap mufflers so i would need a 3" in and 3" out centered muffler. What do yall recommend? Looking for something not crazy just would like a little bit of tone to it. Thanks in advance.

If you are looking to tone it down then I would go with a 14” or 18” Magnaflow. It would still sound good but be much quieter.

It’s funny I have a 3yr old and a 4month old and I’m about to put a Carven R series muffler on my 2016. Lol.

Can't really go wrong with a Magnaflow muffler. There are times I wish it was louder but it's nice at other times to enjoy the quiet in the cab. 

My wife drives my truck occasionally and leaving the driveway she's got the gas a little heavy. 

It's definitely authoritative and mean sounding outside. I have the 6.2 but the 5.3 would be similar.

Np. To me its that pulse that makes the exhaust note better the the magnaflow. Sounds like a it has a truck/ Camaro exhaust if that makes sense. Quiet on light throttle and loud with a pulse on heavy throttle. Magnaflow is more of a flat drone with a dull pulse. Cheers!

speaking of pulse, Douge thorly makes a redesigned header that has two scavengers from the 4 primaries into a final collector scavenger, its designed to bump the low to mid power, on the 5.3, something these motors need more of.. I can only imaging guys bolting on the big 6.2 longtubes on a 5.3 and not making any bottom end torque ...

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
