I don't see it... Hehe

 

 

Took me a while to find your wires, I could see yours weren't 180* boots on plugs and I looked for days trying to find that set. I got the 135* boots and couldn't have asked for better fit.

 

I was actually gonna get a different color so we weren't twinkies but I said phuk it, blue looks sweet.

 

I'm a Higgs Groupie.

Looks familiar to me too... lol but I copied off of TDT. I liked the 135 degree angle. I bought a set of MSD's too in case thesen wouldn't work, but I think I'm going to send the MSD's back.

I had American Racing Headers with the off-road pipe hooked up to a Corsa Sport Exhaust, I had to change the midsection to a high flow cat because it was too loud and raspy.

It helped reduced the sound by 25%, but still has an extreme rasp to it.

I'm looking for a new setup that will eliminate the rasp with the long tube headers, let me know what you guys have, thanks.

Do you happen to have a sound clip of the ARH catted with the corsa sport? I have the corsa sport on my truck and I'm wondering how bad the rasp is..

I have a very bad rasp from my Kook headers with cats and the Corsa exhaust. So bad, i plan on changing it out very soon. I'll try getting a video clip of it soon.

Man, I'm bummed out now. I upgraded from my Magnaflow 18" to the full Corsa cat-back a month or so ago and the long term plan was to upgrade to ARH or Kook longtubes with the catted y. But after a few comments on here I'm certain its gonna be too loud since I daily my truck and drive about ~30k miles a year. As the truck sits I don't like to remote start it when its cold because its soo loud and the sound bounces off my apartment building.

Did you go sport or touring?

 

I don't have cats with my touring and headers and it's no where near too loud when not under heavy throttle. Now when you're on it, that's a different story. I would not want the sport though. It is a little raspy, but not sport bad.

I love remote starting in the morning. I usually open the garage, go back inside get my briefcase, coffee, etc and remote start as I'm walking out the door. Just sounds so good lol. I've got 14" magnaflow tho

I went with the Sport. I know Fondupot contacted Corsa directly and was able to purchase a touring muffler off of them. I might go that route.

The issue is that my parking stall for my apartments faces my apartment building hallway, so when the truck is on, it resonates throughout the hallway and just causes this loud echo. I would hate to be that guy at my apartment.

I'm in Fort Worth too. You're welcome to come by and hear what the touring sounds like with headers. Justin is tuning at my clinic next weekend. He comes here about every 3-4 months and has a tune meet.

 

You're welcome to look us up. He will be here the 18-20. It's Rickords Animal Hospital, 1029 E. Harmon Rd. Fort Worth 76131

 

Shoot me a message and I'll arrange a time that I'm around to let you hear/ride in the cab.

Me too, my tune previous tune with Justin was only a 91/93, I would really like a dedicated e85 tune as I've been running that quite a bit now. I'm gonna message Jenna bear about cost and open slots.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
