I really want to do a catback on my 2019 6.2 High Country but I can't seem to find any options other than the Corsa and GM performance. I am looking for a touring tone, nothing overly aggressive. Does anyone on here have a crew cab standard bed? Which exhaust system did you go with?

The GM one is going to give you a "touring" type sound, so more growl but still very tame when cruising, zero drone, etc.  Corsa is the sport system.  Plenty of growl when you are in it, zero drone, and suprisingly tame when cruising.  Corsa almost makes it seem like you've got a dual mode exhaust on like Corvette/Camaro.  I myself have the Corsa Sport and love it.  Corsa has a rebate going right now too I think $125. 

 

I myself am not a fan of the tone that Borla produces.  Too bass/deep for me.  They claim no drone, but the one I rode in had some mild drone in spots in the RPM range.  Corsa has much less bass and way more bark/crisp and clean sound to it and makes it sound like a 6th gen Camaro or C7 Corvette.

Thanks! I really like the sound of the Borla S-Type but on their website I only see models for the short bed.

I have the GM.  I like it.  Might want to just cut out the stock muffler/flappers and straight pipe it through the resonators.

I’ve been researching the same thing, but for 5.3. I emailed Carven to see if they were working on a setup for the crew cab standard bed, and they replied maybe down the road. I found Kooks makes a cat back with the option of buying an extension pipe for our setup. I logged in tonight to see if there’s anyone on this site running a kooks catback.

Yes! Other than the GM and Borla that I see on Chevy's website I can not find anyone selling a catback system for long wheel base trucks. I dont want to pay the MSRP that GM is asking for their setup or their markup on the borla. 

I guess I will just wait.

Looks like GM Performance and the Corsa sport are the only 2 options currently for the Crew Cab Standard Bed trucks....I guess I am waiting it out

I have a carven catback progressive series. Very mild and can be had for less the $600. Doesn't have any flappers so it does make a little helicopter noise without dfm disabled. 

 

Edit- sorry guess mine is the short bed and you're asking about the longer one.

I recently picked up the Borla Touring series for my cc/std bed.  i'll post up more details this afternoon, but all you need to add is an approximately 8" length of straight pipe (3.5")  from behind the muffler to the exhaust that goes up over the axle.  I'll probably just have it welded to the muffler, although may did a slip joint - not sure yet.    I'll have more details later today.  Just to be clear, this is for the Touring muffler.

Got the pipes installed and here is a pic that shows how much of a gap there is.   I'll probably just weld on a 9" stub to the muffler.

 

Hope this helps someone down the road....

    • have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.
    • Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...
    • That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
    • Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
