Thanks all for the info.  I had been wondering about both of these two GM optional exhausts.  As a side note only, I just yesterday had a muffler shop install a flow master 40 replica in place of the stock muffler (everything else stayed) and hate it.  They knew nothing about these trucks and did the most ham-fisted chop and weld job imaginable.  I went cheap.  Should have got the good one, and now have to decide whether to eat the cost of a better system (not sure of the flapper can be salvaged) or go with one of the GM cat backs mentioned above.  

 

I saw the cost of both the GM-Borla and Corsa systems is similar, so that made me stop and think about which one would be more desirable (like it fairly quiet most of the time).

I bought a Borla Atak straight from Borla for my 2014 Sierra, have had it on for about 2 years and haven’t had a single complaint about it. Sounds great, never had a problem with drone or V4. It’s more expensive than most but 100% worth every extra dollar for sure.

I just got type Borla Atak and I'm trying to decide if it's gonna be too loud for me. I considered the GM Performance Exhaust (Corsa), but found a deal on the Atak that I could not pass up.

I just bought the GM performance exhaust from the Chevy accessories website. After tax and dealer install came out to $1,099.78 with coupon code LEGENDS. Can't wait to get it installed.

That's a nice coupon code!  I really want it, but I'm going to have to wait until next year, bought the truck in February and have already spent too much on accessories.  Hopefully their is a similar one down the road!

At first almost too quiet but after some miles it changes a bit and is perfect 

 

How much did it change and after how many miles? I went up to the dealership today and listened to the GM Performance Exhaust (Corsa version) on a new Sierra 5.3L and barely noticed any difference between that and my stock exhaust. I want to like it, but I'm trying to justify spending a grand on an exhaust that I can barely hear. Thanks for your help!

This is disappointing to hear. I've never heard it in person but if it's not much of a difference I don't want to waste $1100. I got notification from the dealer that it is currently on backorder and they don't know when it will be available.

Thanks. I bet it does sound nice on the 6.2 but for the 5.3, just didn't seem to have the punch I wanted to hear. It sounded really good and clean, just quieter than I expected. I'm sure it sounds good if you get on it with the 5.3.

Yeah. I was a little disappointed as well. Sounded really good though, just a little tame for me. I am still curious how it sounds after it settles in. I'm sure it gets a touch louder, but unsure how much. If you don't want to drop 1100, they'll occasionally offer 15% off accessories. Just have to keep an eye out for it. Good luck!

My guess is it won't get much louder than it already is. You can always pull if off the truck and sell it or have a muffler shop swap in a different muffler and sell the GM muffler.

Any chance you could take a sound clip , outside sound and inside the cab sound. Thanks

Thanks for the info in this thread. I’m actually looking for that “slightly louder than stock” sound, so the Cora’s might be the way to go. As a family truck, I’d have to deal with the response of my wife with anything too loud. Ha. Sometimes I have to pick and choose my battles. Lol. What’s the best deal people have gotten on it?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
