    CT5-V Why is the exhaust so quiet inside?

    The only thing that was changed was the lid, which is blue. Otherwise stock blower. I think the lid threw everyone off. Either way, after a couple conversations explaining the BW was SC from factory, the lid was cosmetic/sound, some googling on their part “MPI LT4 lid” they moved on with the...

    Anyone have these red/black Cadillac emblems?

    Ended up going with the blue front/rear to match the V/Blackwing badges.

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    This was the issue at my local dealer and why it took so long. They had only 1 master tech certified in the V/Blackwing models. The Service Manager thankfully ensured that only this tech did the work. As with many dealers, getting and maintaining a qualified headcount is a struggle.

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    The BW is back home. The transmission and both front tires were replaced under warranty. Took about 2 months for various dealer related issues but it's done. I got about 10 minutes down the road and boom, steady check engine light as well as a "Service Instrument Cluster" message. Ran my OBD...

    CT5-V Why is the exhaust so quiet inside?

    In my experience, I've had no issue with cat-back systems from the dealer. Obviously, if something is amiss with the exhaust system, that's my issue. But from cats-forward, to include O2 sensors, that would be covered unless they can prove my cat-back caused the failure or malfunction. All that...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Nice, I tried that initially. I think my paint is a bit too thick for that as each time I wiped, it pulled out pockets of paint.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    A little trial and error but what I found that works is to flood the engraved letters with paint and allow to dry. One of the images shows that. Then using an old credit card I lightly scrapped the paint off that sits above letters, leaving the paint with the letters themselves. Then I used a...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Went ahead and tried my hand at painting my own emblems… surprisingly it didn’t go to bad. (the gloss black has a weird effect on the pictures..) What are folks thoughts on the V emblem, paint all the chevron cutouts electric blue or stay with the 3 I have now? I was thinking about even doing...

    CT5 BW CAI - Finally

    Change the blower lid to one of the many options out there (expensive = yes) and you'll have all the blower whine you'll ever want. I went with MPI and its next-level different.

    New Member - CT5-V Blackwing

    Beauty and welcome! Oil changes are pretty standard, I stick with OEM filter and Mobil 1 Supercar 0w-40. I've read some folks have LT4's which want more then 9qt, some less. Otherwise, 18ft/lb on the drain plug. GTG. The only issue I had was jacking up the 5, avoiding cracking the side rockers...

    Should I buy a new one?

    40's white guy who lives in northern NY, rocking a blinged out Cadillac. If you're Italian, that trail was blazed well in advance. Not sure anyone would bat an eye. 😉

    Should I buy a new one?

    Since my 5BW has been at the dealer since 10 Sept, I've had a 24' XT4 loaner with the new digital dash. I absolutely hate it for many reasons, this one feature alone would prevent me from buying a 25'+. If you haven't spent time with the new dash, give it a go... Visibility through/around the...

    There are 'ReShip' services available to make that happen. Google-Fu will set you free.
