Hello Ive had a corsa sport catback on my 14 6.2 for a few years and have loved it, but I recently installed longtubes with a catted y-pipe and it is obnoxiously loud. I'm just looking for the best replacement for it that wont be too loud. I know I'm not the only one that has ran into this, so hopefully someone can help out. Thanks!

If you want to spend the money you could buy gm's corsa cat back (touring muffler). It'll be a direct replacement for the corsa sport; no cutting, adding, welding. Or your could add a resonator/bullet muffler before the muffler.

 

There is a few aftermarket mufflers that could work (ex.borla xr1), but your options are limited because of the 3.5" pipe.

just hate to spend the money on another new corsa, but maybe i can find a used corsa touring for sale. I'm wondering how much that would quiet it down? I think for the time being I might put the resonator off my old exhaust on after the muffler so i wont have to cut much up, just wont have my tips on until i get a different muffler. I will most likely end up having a muffler shop fab up a magnaflow on it if i cant find a closer fit.

I was in the exact situation you are in except I did catless y pipe. I wanted to switch to the touring muffler, but they do not make a touring muffler for the 6.2. I even contacted Corsa directly to find out for sure. Corsa recommend adding a resonator. I did not want to cut or weld on a 1200 exhaust. I ended up taking the sport muffler out and adding a Flowmaster pro series muffler. Still loud but a little tamer than the sport. I sold my Sport muffler very quick on the for sale page. There isn't many options for a 3.5 center in center out muffler. I would like to go quieter, but for now it is better than it was.

Just curious, how much did you end up selling your sport muffler for? I will most likely be doing the same when i find a replacement.

GM does have the touring muffler, Corsa just doesn't have a touring muffler branded under their name... I've seen a video where a guy had arh/gm corsa. Sounded good, not too loud for normal driving and a monster at wot. I did ask corsa what they recommended to quiet it down a bit. They said add a resonator in front of the muffler, basically turns it into a touring muffler.

That's definitely impressive, there was a basic new Corsa sport muffler on here for sale on the other truck site. I offered 250 shipped,  and of course I got a no way. I seen the same exact person on eBay try to sell it . It sold for 210 plus 25 shipping.

Is the cat-back exhaust on the All Terrain X models the Corsa touring? I might be interested in a trade if that is the case, could use a little more sound.

I have the gm performance exhaust , Corsa version, which is the touring. I have been wanting to try the spot muffler. I may be interested in trading. I have a 6.2

I should clarify, I have the GM catback as well and am also looking to trade for the sport. I have the 5.3L double cab, but I don't think that matters for just swapping the mufflers. I'm assuming touring and sport mufflers are the same size...

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
