Install depends on your skill level. I had 2 broken bolts to extract, and didn't cut any pipes if I wanted to de-mod in the future. It took me about 4-5 hours taking my time. The dynatech's fit very nice and go in easily from the bottom. They come with great instructions if you need them

Here is a link when I did my truck- it's a Corsa cat back though. It's surprising the difference in revving after installing the headers. https://youtu.be/Z3YS2Qr_EPI

How is this setup still working? Replacing mine now- can't stand the leaks on the garage floor any longer
-
Yeah its welded on the tailpipe. From GM you'd have to buy the entire cat-back as a welded assembly- if its even available- Seen them for sale tips only from guys who cut them off

Yeup 65e- same parts. I got the vette servo from Oregon transmission. Just recently did the shift kit- Transgo hd2, bought it on amazon for about 85.00. All can be done in the truck.

Well thats encouraging- I will probably do it. The dynatech's estimate about 25 Hp,15 ft-lbs with headers. That sounds like a pretty good bump from stock. These trucks should have had a little more power from factory considering their weight and size. Thanks for the input guys!

It'll be quite a bit louder with longtubes. I've got a similar exhaust set up. American Racing longtubes, and corsa sport. Mine was obnoxiously loud with gutted cats so I put in 2 bullet resonators (one on each midpipe). It's pretty tame now while cruising. No drone whatsoever. Idle sounds great too. It's still extremely loud at wide open, but in a good way.
I say go for it, and if it's too loud, swap your corsa sport with a corsa touring, and sell the sport to me. ;)
Mines getting old.
You will probably be ok with catted midpipes. They'll help a lot.
I figured the cats will tame it a bit- I heard some sound clips on youtube but they all put the camera too close to the tail and it blows out the speaker. I heard an 09 with the 6.2 on youtube, and I thought it sounded pretty good with LT's and corsa.
Before I had a Flo-Pro 2505 muffler with the stock tail. @70 my wife hated it, @ 65 it was tolerable, but still annoying. Once I put the corsa on there, we could talk inside once again and it sounds awesome, and I hate to screw that up by trying to get a lil more HP. Thanks for the input, it really helps!

I know this is probably beat to death. What I have-
03- CAI, corsa sport cat back- and I am looking at putting on dynatech long tubes w/ catted mid pipes. I am concerned with the loudness with headers, and sounding like a drag truck. My wife will finally ride in it again without being mad its too loud, and I want to retain the quiet ride under normal driving.
I know others have run this setup, so I was wondering what to expect? Does the corsa keep it tamed with headers? Or should I forget about it?
BTW
It is going to be tuned soon as I am doing a E-fan swap
-
Were people using the catted, or cat- less mid pipes to hook up to the rest of the factory system, or corsa system?
-
Did you ever buy the dynatech headers? We are starting to sell them and I was curious as to the fit of them.
They also show a bolt up "y" even though these do have y pipes, but they connect up to the factory cat back exhaust

idahoBLKss, can you PM me? I'd like to get a set of decals for my calipers

Looking for a DS door panel for the 03, dark charcoal w/ heated seats. Or a pair of panels for 04-06.

I'm a new member but been lurking for a while. I just picked up my 03 from Louisville back in April. Welcome from down the road!

Probably the front diff. It's a well known issue on these. Try changing the fluid on it and see if that helps. Check the magnet on the drain plug for metal. They tend to eat the carrier bearings on these AWD's
