I'm not sure what kind of answer you are looking for. If you bought a Corsa Cat Back, it only gets as loud as they make it. You could remove their muffler and put in another brand, or a straight pipe. You could look into headers. Good luck.

ok the neighbors not really too concerned about.

Even the wife thought it could be a little louder.

Personally it sounds great,just wish it were a lil louder.

About headers what should i look for cause im kinda going

with the majority of what the forum guys have to say.

Would i be getting a power increase buy chance?

any draw backs with headers.

If you ditch the cats on Corsa exhaust........... You better be prepared!! It will get raspier than you could ever possibly imagine!! Otherwise, get some long tube headers and youll be good to go. ALSO. Its not loud inside the truck. Keep that in mind. It is loud outside.

I wanna ditch my cats badly, only a few things that hold me back.

 

1. I love my exhaust tone -loud, throaty, screams

2. Haven't checked, but theres more than likely a sensor down there. Then I'd have to drill a hole and weld in the sensor, not a problem, but dad wouldnt be thrilled cause if its not broke why am I fixing it...(hes got all the tools)

3. Even tho there's no E-check anymore, its probobly illegal to remove, and if its gonna be louder I might get pulled over and get my s**t checked out. I know it's illegal for shops to remove cats.

4. Im concerned if theres any performance increase in doing this.

 

If you have emmissions checks, headers will hurt in that dept. You'll gain performance with headers, but Im not sure on how much exactly. I'd imagine they'll help the torque curve if anything.

 

 

ALSO. Its not loud inside the truck. Keep that in mind. It is loud outside.

 

Word. Driving with the windows up doesnt compare to driving with the windows down. Reason #4201 why I hate winter!

You can purchase the O2 Sensor simulator, that sends the message to your pcm that your cats are operating correctly.

 

It is definitely illegal to have your cats removed, if you are worried about getting it checked, consider removing the honeycomb and welding them back on.

 

Also, I know exactly what you mean about your exhaust, I have a similar sound if not identical with my 40 series. I recently decided against this, just because it seemed like more trouble than it was worth.

I have the Corsa too and love it, my brother got his used from craigslist but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Corsa Exhaust 14260, or you can try one of the sponsors here on the forum, they are allways having sales/specials. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.

Give it a couple months...it will get louder.

 

I thought the same when I got my flowie...took about 3 months but it gained a few db, mufflers have to break in too.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
