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...

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
