Every single person I have talked to that has bought the green cats said it through a code anyway on these trucks. I would just buy the regular catted Y and get the truck tuned by someone that knows what they are doing. But even that I still find the price on Kooks a little high to be paying for pick up headers. I would pay that for a Corvette, but about $3,000CAD after tax for headers and a y pipe in Canada, for 10-15hp? Meh. 

 

All I know is that a local shop says they generally see 30rwhp before tuning with kooks 1 7/8/catted y on a 6.2. Look up tdotperformance. Mine came straight from kooks, free shipping, wait for a sale. Install and tune will cost you though.

 

Haven't installed mine yet. I'm sure tuning would make the truck run better, but not in GM's opinion... Can BlackBear still hide the tune with headers? Not looking to cheat the system, but I'm worried about parts that already destined to fail. Seems to be a lot of problems this generation.

I put a set in my cart on TDOT last night TBH to see if the dollar has improved. $2,700 after tax. Ouch. I love the idea of LT's, but rather than dumping money into performance on my 6.2L I should just buy a Corvette. That is 13% of a used C6Z06 right there.

Fixed for you.

Yeah a vette would be great if that's what you want. Personally I like trucks. But If I had the money, hell yeah I'd get a vette. Just need a garage first so I have somewhere to store it for 8 months of the year. The exchange rate sucks. But if you wait for a sale that's the best price you'll most likely get.

My bad, 6.7% lol. You can find a nice low mile 06 for $38k CAD here, about $29.5K USD. Passed up a local 2002 C5Z last year for $28CAD. Nice car, but the LS7/C6 owns my heart.

 

Anyone know of any middle-of-the-road LT's for these trucks? Not as much $ as Kooks, but not cheap like Pacesetter?

I have speed engineering headers, and are actually pretty good, well constructed and good fitment:

I've got TSP headers with their catted Y pipe. No codes, all O2 sensors still in place. I needed 12 inch and another 24 inch minimum extension wires. The driver side downstream sensor is moved over quite a bit. 

Do yourself a favor and get a couple of little studs to screw into the head, hang the exhaust gasket and get the headers started. Made it so much easier to install, for an old guy.

Just ordered a set of Doug Thorley Long Tube Tri-Y headers. Already have the diablo trinity, CAI and super 10 muffler so once the headers come I’ll have it custom tuned.

Friday I got the kooks headers with catted y pipe on my 2015 with a tvs1900, running the magnuson tune.  No codes, I was surprised. I know the tune doesn’t have the bank 2 sensors turned off, I pulled it in hptuners and double checked.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
