    Corsa for Escalade

    My 2009 Tahoe with the 6.2 L9H has the 3.5" factory exhaust and no one makes a kit for it.. I called all of them. I had my exhaust shop install a Flowmaster Big Block 50 Series 3.5 in & 3.5 out, both offset and it sounds great.. no reason to change the exhaust pipe, just install a good...

    Bought a 2002 Yukon XL K2500 8.1 liter 4x4

    Go to GM website and you can get a build sheet with your VIN.. Mine was a 3.73, but you could order them with a 4.10:1 which folks pulling campers did freqently.. I never had a problem with mine pulling up to 10,000 lbs with the 3.73's. TC

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    Tiki, Are those the Raybestos PER-300 Rotors? I was going to use those, but finally bought the Wilwood Big Brake (16") TX6R Big Brake Truck Front Brake Kits for F&R. A lot more money, but I am going to be doing a lot of mountain driving in the next couple of years so I figured what the heck...

    2016 Denali 6.2L Motor Blown with 3200 Miles

    Well, I have 42,000 on my 2009 Tahoe LTZ 6.2L with no problems whatsoever and I drive it fairly aggressively.. My engine is different in that it is the L9H and does not have cylinder deactivation. I do not tow at all with either of my Tahoe's as I have a pickup set up for towing up to 10,000...

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    Choo Choo-- thanks for the review.. I have always known Wilwood's are great, so that is the way I am going..with Wilwood pads on the rear. I already have the SS hoses sitting on the shelf. Running factory 20" wheels so the 16's will fit.. Also going with the Goodyear Eagle Sport V rated...

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    Yep, I found out that the Raybestos are chink so will not be using them.. And Fiatdale, it is Wilwood or Baer.. I used Wilwood on all my race cars so am partial to them.. Back to the drawing board :) Been too busy to deal with the Tahoe, so that turned out to be a good thing.. Now I will...

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    OK, I looked very hard at the Wilwood & Baer systems, but did not think I would need this much braking as I am not going to do much more than some acceleration bursts and a bit of spirited driving around the hill country here in Texas (and Alaska next year) So after a lot of research I am going...

    Black Widow muffler

    The Flowmaster went on my 09 Tahoe LTZ with the L9H 6.2 with a Nelson Tune, AirRaid MIT and now free flow exhaust.. Goes pretty good.. No one makes a cat back for it in 3.5 since there were so few made, but I am happy with the sound I have.. they don't show a 3.5" with R&L Offset on their...

    Black Widow muffler

    That sounds very good. I was looking at those, but need a 3.5" and they do not make a 3.5", so I went with the Flowmaster Big Block 50 Series and left the rest of the exhaust system stock. So it is 3.5" from the exhaust manifold all the way to the end. Has a good sound and adequate noise when...

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    Well after reading a lot of stuff about R1, I would not put them on my vehicles. The problem with all the lesser brand name products is the metallurgy. The steel comes from overseas and is nowhere comparable to what is used by Willwood or Baer. I am really thinking about the Wilwood Brakes...

    09 Tahoe 6.2L Goes Fast, Now Needs Better Brakes

    I have used EBC on previous trucks and they did not meet my expectations, went back with AC Delco PPV Calipers, Rotors & Pads., (I have a new set of EBC Rotors sitting in my shop that I am reluctant to use) Now I need to do a complete brake job in my Tahoe with the 6.2L and want a better...

    Re-Creation of the Tahoe SS

    That will be a fun project. I have an 07 Sierra with the VortecMax package and it runs great in stock trim.. it will stay stock as it is used solely as a tow vehicle. 130,000 miles. However, my 09 Tahoe LTZ with the L9H 6.2L is my "Old Man Hot Rod". With the L9H you do not have the AFM, but...

    You'd Think I Was 16 & Picking Out A Prom Dress

    I was going to sell my 09 6.2L Tahoe LTZ and buy a Denali, but after driving the new Denali, I decided I liked the 09 better.. Seems more sporty and not as electronic.. So, I pulled it off the sales block.. Gonna make it look like GIB's beautiful Suburban with the smooth roof and debadged...

    6.2 Exhaust Help

    Magnaflow I called Magnaflow and this is the exact part number they recommended. The size is 5" X 11" X 22". What else did you do other than install the muffler? Did you leave the resonator? I am also going to install the SLP 3.5 Dual Tips which is not a resonator delete. I do not...
