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.

Yeah....that clip might have just sealed the deal.

 

Corsa sport it is!

 

Thanks for posting.

Here is the comparison video. Check it out

 

 

 

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.

Lol. Good idea. You'll be fine.

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

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
