    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Depends on the lift you have; mine is on the smaller side because I don't care if I ever lift my F350 up. I preferred the extra space in the garage. It goes right to the edge though.

    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Well, I said I would try to keep it short, so total fail, haha. I am used to other car messaging boards where people always share detailed install info, etc. I have benefited greatly over the years on my own projects using the help of others, so this is my pay it forward moment I guess. My...

    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Continued... Now, go ENJOY IT! Overall I measured about 1.25" less clearance in the back from the stock muffler, but it's nothing you will ever be concerned with. My mufflers tucked up in quite nicely and then standing back you don't really see them. See photos below showing from different...

    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Well, I finally had the time and weather to install my Corsa cat-back exhaust this past weekend, and I wanted to share some info I feel is important regarding the installation. The install itself isn't anything too difficult, but some parts of the instructions need to be clarified, some parts...

    Noob-ish question on 5BW Oil Consumption

    Yes, with new oil it's very hard to see on the dipstick as it's nearly clear when it is such a thin film. Dry it completely, dip slowly at the last bit of it that goes into the tube. Take out and check front and back of the stick with it angled to the light, and look for the start of the shiny...

    Correct valve position for Corsa installation…

    I'll write it up tonight, busy day today. No CEL, did 99% by myself in about 3 hours. You really need the exhaust hanger puller.

    Noob-ish question on 5BW Oil Consumption

    When checking, ensure you are on a very level surface, and wait about 5-10 mins after shutting the engine off. Pull out stick, wipe dry, insert and check.

    Factory carbon cars - how is your carbon fading?

    Apparently GM carbon is a little more brown than other carbons and also, if it does have PPF, that could be what has yellowed some if that is the problem.

    Correct valve position for Corsa installation…

    Was reviewing the install instructions again from Corsa and noticed something that may be fairly important (though still unclear). See image below: See how step 2 mentions that when you are installing the valve actuators into the exhaust, that you have to make sure the valves in the new...
