Hello

 

I am looking for a Cat-back system for a 5.3 with Kooks Headers installed.

 

I keep reading that the Corsa will be too loud with headers.

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Thanks

I feel like people who install long tubes aren’t worried about sound levels to begin with. The Corsa sounds amazing. I’m going to keep mine on when I finally get around to installing my long tubes.

I have the Corsa CP14873 and I love the sound and performance!!!!  While the system is a little obnoxious on cold start up after about 30 seconds to a minute it quiets down to a nice rumble idling.  Now at WOT it sounds amazing.  Some will say its way to loud but I love it.  Id rather listen to my supercharger and exhaust than the radio (lol)

Mines perfect and I have the sport. Hardly any sound increase in the cab when cruising. WOT is an amazing sound. It doesn’t make sense to me when someone wants longtubes but is worried about sound. If you don’t like a loud truck then the long tubes aren’t for that person :/

Cora’s is just notoriously loud. I have a corsa sport on my ctsv with long tubes and it’ll shake the whole house on a  cold start. I don’t think it would be much different on a truck. But once it warms up and the idle comes down it’s not bad at all

 

as far as best exhaust goes..... the most free flowing you can get will be the best

Everyone is commenting about the Corsa without long tubes .

 

I have heard that before and I like the sound .

 

I am asking about the best cat back with long tubes , I heard the Corsa can be very raspy and drone with long tubes .

I'm wondering what exhaust sounds good too, I'm almost thinking of putting my factory 6.2 exhaust back on when I do headers.  I like loud, but the rasp and drone with some free flowing exhausts will not cut it for me.

That's exactly what I am thinking ...

 

I might install the headers and Y pipe with my stock exhaust for now and take it from there before I decide on cat back

Just add a resonator to the corsa system, thats if you already have corsa. If not, get a magnaflow catback that comes with a resonator

No, but thats my plan for when i get headers. There used to be a video floating around youtube of a guy with a corsa catback, headers and an aero resonator. Sounded great but pretty tame.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
