    best exhaust without tune

    March 8th I drop the car off for Kooks headers, green cats, and having SC ported by Kong. It will be bench dynoed before and after to see exactly how the factory tune reacts. No tuning is being planned as I want to avoid it. My shop will have it for week and half or so as I will be out of...

    Blackwings and Watches

    Watches for me have all been a "love" at first sight type thing. I either want it or would not wear it if someone gifted it to me. And on that note I have never seen a Rolex that I "loved". Could not tell you why exactly its just an instant experience feeling that one gives me and I know I...

    Blackwings and Watches

    Pretty straight forward ordinary watch. This watch got me in to watches though. Grew up with the garbage Casio, Timex, Swatch, plastic whatever. First watch I bought for myself after I graduated college. Been almost 30 years and still going great. (Citizen titanium Ecodrive) Watch has taken...

    Patch this tire or replace?

    Typically through the tread, when it has good life, and your "regular" screw type hole is fixable. I have had 2 like that fixed in the last year. One in the BW and one in my wife's truck. No issue to date with either tire after repair.

    Subwoofer Install

    I will echo that LLJ whether alive or dead is no longer useful. I did use them around May of 2021 with great success but alas that seems to be the distant past. I'm not a proponent of online reviews but with the mass they achieved of the same issue, not shipping or refunding items, there is a...

    best exhaust without tune

    From what I have seen from couple reputable shops I occasionally watch, Yes. I will be doing just that in the next month or so when my shop slots me in. Ill let you know my experience for sure once it is done.

    What would you do?

    It may depend on what the vanity plate said. :) My plastic chevy, Camaro, and my Senior Citizen car both have silly vanity plates so there is that.

    Random questions from a 2025 CT4 BW owner

    :ROFLMAO: Must people don't even know manuals still exist much less how to drive them. So remembering rollback is way outside probably 80% of drivers recall these days. Not to mention clueless drivers in general that think they need to be sitting in your passenger seat from the car they...

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    I really loved that Emerald Frost the first time I saw it. Once I realized it was a matte paint though that sunk that ship.

    FINALLY ! 2022 CT5-V Blackwing Production #'s , colors and transmissions

    I find it funny that there were 35% more Wave Metallic then Blaze Orange. When I was shopping I saw Blaze Orange at probably 5-1, or higher, against Wave. I guess the Wave guys all wanted to keep their cars and the Blaze guys made someone mad spending all that money. :)

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    My unicorn was Wave Metallic, Sky Cool Gray, and all the other bits I have. (M6, PDR, CCB, CF1&2, Carbon seats). I had looked for over a year and come close several times but there was always something that kept me from getting it. When the one I have popped all things considered and the...

    Subwoofer Install

    Thank you. Im not an authority but I do not believe the 5BW uses what I would call a subwoofer. They have 6x9s in the rear deck that supplied the "bass". My subs are tapped from the rear 6x9s, which I disconnected, for their audio signal.

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    I think it has happened on every car I own from GM at some point, except the BW so far. 2018 Camaro 2SS and 2021 Silverado 2500. I wrote it off as electronic gremlins as it just fired up no issue with next start when it happened.

    I like my tan interior much more than I thought I would but the Sky Cool Grey is still my favorite. Enjoy your car.

    Good Experience (Service)

    Since we mostly see the disasters on enthusiast forums I figured I would share. Roughly 2.5 weeks ago the car had a CEL come on. I called my local dealer for an appointment and was told Dec 31st. Little longer then I was hoping for but figured holidays and all. Next morning I ran by a...

    5BW burning oil

    I had the opposite experience when a dumbass service writer wanted to argue with me that my Silverado 2500 6.0L needed 8+ quarts of oil. It used 5-5.5 typically.
