I just had a Corsa cat back system installed on my 2003 Silverado and have to say that so far I am very happy with it. I got the side exit system with dual tips. The sound is burbly cruising around town and kind of raspy when you get on it. It really sounds great when you hit the passing gear on the highway. It pretty much sounds stock at cruise. My dealer installed it in about an hour. I checked it out while the truck was on the lift and it looks really nice. The technician said it was a piece of cake to install.

Awesome. Been thinking about that one myself.  I'm concerned about it being overly loud during passing or getting it on.  I want a nice sound, but don't want to be obnoxious about it.

 

Let us know how you feel about it as soon as "new" wears off.  I wish I could hear one in person.

At around town speeds at a steady cruise it`s a bit louder then stock. By no means is it unpleasant. At highway speeds it`s as quiet as stock. It definately makes itself heard when you are on the gas but no more so then other trucks I hear running around here.

 

Maybe I`ll have the wife do a drive by for me and listen....

:crazy:

Naaah,maybe not.

Ryan,

I`m fairly new to this truck, it`s only got 3K miles on it, and I just got the system this morning but I can`t tell any difference one way or the other. Since it`s the side exit system and only has one tail pipe I don`t really expect to lose any power as some people that get a dual outlet system have reported.

Thats right! The Queen has only driven it once. From the driveway to the street and the King was watching the whole time.

I ordered the system through my dealer and since my brother works for GM I got an employee discount on the system and a break on the labor rate to  have it installed. The system was $503 and labor was $85 of course there was freight and tax added to the price of the system.

 

I got the system that exits behind the right rear wheel through two slash cut 4" stainless steel tips. The tips are tucked up higher then the stock system. I`d say they are about 1 1/2" below the bed side. It really looks great.

 

I kept the stock system thinking that in the future if I sell or trade the truck in I can re install it and either sell or put the Corsa system on the new one if it still fits.

fmjcafe, that sounds really good.  I have been eyeballing this, but probably not for a long time, unfortunately.

 

Any resonance in the low RPM, high gear combo?  

 

If I'm not mistaken, Corsa has a 5.3L tuned exhaust system, which I hope would clear up that issue.

Any interior noise ? I have a 2003 Tahoe Z71 and I want to put it on. I want it but I am concerned because the Flowmaster systems I have had in the past sound great, but interior resonance was un bearable.

 

Check tbyrne,

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
