Thanks for the video! I'm gonna get the black tip I think, as I plan to colour match what I can. I want the white, with black accents look.

 

I think I may swap for the black tip too eventually.

Sounds great!! Thanks for the info. I stopped in to a local muffler shop yesterday just to talk to the guy. He was so against changing them out. He went on and on about how these motors are tuned for stock exhausts and blah blah blah..... They had done 3 and all came back with problems. Makes me wonder about their work.... I'll be doing it in my garage.

I went the Borla sport route yesterday and could not be happier. I don't think I would be pleased if it were any louder. I'm glad I didn't choose the ATAK version. Took about an hour to complete including installing one new hanger on the passenger side.

You have a way to put a video up of how it sounds?

Wish I could get that or id buy it now. The 6.2L side exit for the crew short bed starts at $1166. Anyone have the black tips?

I've got black tips... i'll post a pick later. They are clamp on, not fond of that... will have to find a shop to weld them.

Here is a pic with the black tips for the Corsa Sport Exhaust. Not a great pic, but you can get the idea.

 

I just did my exhaust today and I would like to thank fondupot for the write up. Taking the stock exhaust out in one piece was actually pretty easy once you know the trick to rotate it!

Is the corsa more aggressive than the borla sport? I'm looking for something as close to the Toyota Tundra trd exhaust. That is the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard so far.

You guys ever hear about MBRP?

I put on a set of stainless cat backs all the way out the back. Says they are guaranteed for life.

They have been in business since 1996....out of Canada. Bought them from LM Performance, got em in 2 days.

3' out of the cat to a pretty much see through muffler and 2 1/2 inch the rest of the way to 3'stainless tips.

 

I thought it was going to be loud, but it's not until you get on it. Quiet as a church mouse in the neighborhood.

Open the throttle and it sounds like thunder :) Great sounding on the highway too, no drone as you guys call it.

 

Easy install......$565.00 delivered to the house by UPS.

I have the Borla Atak on my Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, its too loud for me. It sounds great, but just loud. On my 2014 rcsb I have a Magnaflow system right now, sounds great just not as of aggressive as Id like. Just ordered a Corsa system for it, hope its not as loud as the Borla.

 

Here is the ATAK on my Jeep

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
