I just traded my 22 LTD High Country 6.2 on a 23 High Country 6.2. 

I want to do a catback but not sure if I want another Borla.

The 22 I had a Borla Touring catback with the stock tips. Sounded pretty good . But it did drone a little bit. 

I suspect the missing flapper causes this.

Does the GM performance setup (Borla Touring) have a flapper?

How about the Corsa?

Does the Corsa sound not as deep as the Borla? More crackely?

Any drone?

I am leaning toward the Corsa at this point.

I know exhaust sound is subjective but I need some solid info.

Either way it will be a quad tip setup. The HDMI tips are not my favorite.

I ordered the Corsa. Found one $170 less than everyone else. I just googled Corsa 21200 and there was bunch of them. Should be here later this week.

Got the Corsa installed.  Sounds killer. Sounds similar to a buddy of mines C7 Vette. It is louder than I thought it would be but I like it. Cold start is off the charts killer.

Corsa is the best, but you can't go quad tips in there sport exhaust. Atleast you couldn't in 2021 when I had my 2019 High Country. They didn't make quad tips for rear exit on new body style.

Was it it a 6.2?

I have the GM performance exhaust. No drone. A little bark at startup but not annoying. I don't need or want people a block over to hear it. You can tell it's there just not obnoxious.

Does it have a flapper before the muffler?

Yes sir!!  It sounds fantastic with the 6.2L.

Looks like they offer it now with quad tips from picture.  That's a game changer for sure. Corsa makes fantastic tips. Corsa to me is a no Brainer with a GM small block 

 

Good luck with your decision.

Corsa.

 

Or trade your 2023 for a 2024 as GM just announced factory dual mode active exhaust standard on 6.2s.

I ordered the Corsa 21201 on Sunday - I'm anxiously awaiting delivery.  I had the Corsa on my '14 6.2 also - loved it.  I pulled it off before trade-in to sell separately as trade-in value was $0.

Sounds so much better than my 22 with the Borla Touring setup.

After a few days with the Corsa, I have to say, it is perfect.

I had a Borla Touring on my 22 LTD High Country 6.2 and it had a deeper tone sometimes when in L9 at around 1000 rpm( 50mph) ,  I never cared for the tone. Above 2000 rpm and it had a deep roar that sounds good.

The corsa has more of a bark though.

It's a little louder.

Especially the cold starts. Sounds badass.

But it tames down.

Sound similar to a C7 Vette all the way through the rpms.

At cruise you can barely hear it in cab.

IMO after having both,

Corsa #1

Borla #2

Can't say, I didn't tell you so! LOL

 

Once I bought Corsa on my HC, I would never go back to anything else. (I had Gibson, Magnaflow, and Flowmaster).

 

Glad you are enjoying it, and the tips look awesome!!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
