I have the 2017 Z71 5.3 and did the K&N CAI, Magna-flo exhaust, Diablo Predator 2 Tuner, 2" levelling kit, added the lit up tow mirrors, and fender flare sides. I also put on all of the black emblems myself to get rid of most of the chrome.

 Now due to the front end being prone to lower ball joint issues with the levelling kits, I now just purchased a Ready Lift 4" lift. I would seriously not level the vehicle without putting a good lift kit. I've gone through many lower arms as a result on my old truck.

Corsa Sport - louder and raspier
Borla S-Type - smoother and deeper

Thanks for the link to that post.  I do love the look of the Corsa, but do get your point for sound levels.  I'll have to do more research.  Maybe the Corsa Touring is something I should consider too.

I like it a lot. As far as sound, I think it's perfect. Gets rid of the hairdryer and let's it breath some. I think it's loud on start ups, putting your foot in to it, otherwise nice in mellow. If u turn radio off, u can just barely hear it while cruising. I've had louder exhaust, but I'm at a point in my life that a little is ok, but a lot is to much, lol. If that makes sense.

Thanks for the input!  I'll definitely have to put Corsa's Touring exhaust on my short list for consideration.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Corsa Sport the loudest Corsa carries? I thought Sport and Atak where close in sound?

Corsa also has an "Xtreme" version as well.  The following is from Corsa's website...  http://www.lmperformance.com/shop.asp?brand=corsa-performance&gclid=CjwKCAiAu4nRBRBKEiwANms5W_GpxL7Ir86Y7QkL9wAsALEbkMTd3SFN1xG1vDowYE-6yXfWkdf3kRoC-zUQAvD_BwE

 

CORSA Exhaust offers 3 levels of sound: XTREME - their loudest offering for those who want the loudest baddest sounding system out there with an aggressive tone, CORSA's SPORT systems for their mid sound level is a great alternative for customers who want an aggressive sounding unique exhaust but who do not necessarily want to hear it all the time. The sport option is a good option for mildly modified vehicles and for comfortable highway cruising, CORSA's TOURING exhaust is their quietest system for those with highly modified engines or those who wish to only have a slightly louder tone then stock. No matter your sound preference, CORSA mufflers have you covered.

 

EDIT:  As i look at Corsa's website, I can't find the "XTREME" option for my truck.

I didn't count the Xtreme because they don't offer it for trucks. Only sports car and what have you.

You should be happy with that setup.  I know I am with a very similar setup, RC 2.5 leveling and 275/65R20's...   

 

I'm very intrigued by the idea of removing the valence....  Anyone have a pic of my style with that done?

i’m new to the forum and i’m having trouble deciding between your exact setup or a 2” level with 275/60/20 instead. i’m also not familiar enough with the terminology yet to distinguish if what you refer to as your 2.5” leveling kit means you are running blocks in the back as well or just spacers up front if that makes sense?

 

trying to decide on all of this brings me back to what heads and cam i had to decide on for my gto awhile back...constantly going back and forth. 

 

thanks in advance

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
