I have a 17 6.2, currently I have corsa sport on it. Just ordered up kooks 1 7/8 and an intake from cai. I wanted to see if there's anyone running longtubes and corsa. Little concerned about cold starts... Right now there pretty loud. I'm not sure how much headers will change that?

It's going to be very loud. You might want to add catted y pipe and a resonator

I did get the catted y. Any recommendations for a resonator, there's not too many options for 3.5" exhaust, no idea what's good.

 

I agree, louder the better. But I don't think the neighbours or cops see it the same way...

I don't like loud. Plus I live in California     if my truck wouldn't be loud I would have gotten headers already.  But I can't stand loud anymore

Anyone know of a resonator that will take the edge off, and not kill the soundtrack? Would a race bullet have the same effect as a resonator?

I did the same setup as you but with catless y pipe. It was super loud and had a annoying rasp to it. I ended up taking the Corsa muffler out and put a Flowmaster pro series in it's place and kept the rest of the Corsa system in place. It quieted it down a little and has a much deeper sound to it. It still has a little rasp but it's much better than before. I think it sounds great now. It's still pretty loud but not as loud as before.

Thanks drentlaw1, appreciate the input. When I bought the exhaust I didn't plan on getting headers. I'm kind of doing this ass backwards. Its too bad you cant straight up buy the GM Corsa muffler... I think that would have been a good setup.

If I remember correctly you have a 6.2 correct? What did you do with the Corsa muffler?

I did the same thing. Bought the exhaust and loved it, then bought the headers and it was too loud haha. I contacted Corsa directly and asked if they had a touring muffler for the 6.2, and said they only offer the sport. I think since your doing cats it might help out a little but there's only one way to find out.

Yep I have the 6.2. It's sitting in my garage. My plan was to buy a Yukon or Tahoe with the 6.2 for my wife and put it on that, but we ended up buying a 5.3 Yukon instead.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
