Corsa Exhaust Video

[MACHO]

Noob, love the stock exhaust note of the 6.2!

I will say my stock vs.Touring wasn't a major difference in decibels but there is a defenite difference in the tone! If you're looking for something bold and raspy I'd get the sport. For me the, Tahoe exhaust is more tame compared to the Escalade, so the upgrade is noticable. plus with the family, I liked the idea of the smoothness of the touring without worrying about any sound fatigue on longer trips--- That being said, they're both supposed to be "no drone" so hopefully a member with a SPORT can chime in on theirs installed on their 6.2 bc it's hard to capture the full sound on a video.

P.s. I read somewhere on TYF that if headers were a possible future install, they recommended the touring

Actually MACHO, the Touring has a perforated straight through tube and packing material just around the tube. This is what makes it not as loud as the Sport. If you look at the video I referenced earlier, this is mentioned about 2/3 of the way through it.

In the video, your stock exhaust sounds way louder than mine does in real life with the resonator delete.

Good video.

Anyone else hear that piston slap?

 

[MACHO]

Goodinblack, you have a good ear. The before video with the stock exhaust was taken during winter (thus all the vapor you see) which I think contributed to the loudness and the knock...hopefully nothing major to worry about engine-wise. Both were a cold start. The cold temp may have skewed the comparison slightly of the stock exhaust. Also i feel like the angle of the stock exhaust outlet directed the sound more towards the camcorder. The corsa sounds so much deeper in person and the real difference I've noticed is while driving when it's under load, the growl at low idle, and how fun it is to punch in the Express Lane Tunnels LOL Maybe I'll try to get a exterior drive-by and an in-cabin vid...

Thanks. ^^^^

Post some pictures of the whole truck too.

Hoe-n-it. Thanks, good to know!

Love the Touring! If you plan on any major mods down the road (ie. cam, headers, blower), you will be happy you didn't go with the Sport.

 

[MACHO]

JennaBear, yup that's what I had read awhile ago. Must have been you that posted that!

Btw, Julie got me setup with the Airaid Jr kit. I'm looking forward to receiving it. I'm hoping that it doesn't cancel out too much of the sound of my beautiful Corsa??? Next purchase will be the tune!

 

[JennaBear]

If I remember correctly, sound wise, it will be throatier when you get on it (with the intake), however, at cruise and idle, you won't notice a difference in how the Corsa sounds now.

 

[MACHO]

Gotcha. One member said that he took his Airaid MIT off because he wanted to hear more of his Touring. I suppose the opinion on sound is subjective. Don't think it'd change my decision, even if the intake is louder at WOT/high RPM than the Corsa, bc a tune with an exhaust and no intake doesn't seem like it would yield as good of results.
