The Family Truckster (my mod/build thread - 2012 Yukon Denali)

[FamilyTruckster]

I wondered the same thing.... didn't bother or think of asking/arguing though.. That company has been a tough nut to crack, tried buying systems without tips, that's a hard no, and tried buying this kit/system but with a touring muffler... also a hard no...
Odd thing about that... he said "we might offer that option later on (touring muffler for pn 14886) in the near future", I have a hard time believing they'll time warp back to 2012/previous body style and invest in hitting the R and D chopping block for a pretty small demographic such as that... weirder things have happened...

It is what it is. At least you have an extra set of quality piping laying around for a future project or someone else's project.
It's just i can't think of any reason why they would add extra pipe lol
Oh well its bought and just looking forward to install.

My thoughts exactly, ordered and over with (not too miffed on account of not having to pay for most of this project - just bummed I had to empty my CK375 funds), I like having options, and the cool thing, I guess, is that neither is permanent... and the corsa tips sure are purdy (and straight), so like you said, good for another project (or project vehicle -wink- down the road)... rectangle tips are ordered and arriving on Monday... just waiting on the corsa system. I have half an ass to drive to Ohio and pick it up...

Ohhhhhh..... ahhhhhh....

Did you get the stuff in yet?

Everything but the exhaust from Corsa... I called yesterday (expected ship date was 05/17 - 05/19) a lady there said they were running a few days behind because it's their "busy season" (I ordered and paid for the system on 05/05)... she also took down my phone number saying she would call me today with an update... well, it's the end of today, and no call... pretty bummed because I'm supposed to have that installed (all but the exit pipes) by the end of this weekend, because it goes into the body shop on Monday. I keep refreshing the order status page hoping a shipping tracking number will appear. I told her if they were waiting on anything regarding the fancy pants corsa tips, just go ahead and ship the rest of the system now... and it sounds like that's what the hold up is, but she informed me they are unable to break up kits for any reason. Never had an issue with Corsa the company, or their products what so ever, and this will be my third system purchased... I see comments and complaints here and there on product reviews, mainly about weep holes not having been drilled, and other little issues.. which never bothered me before, but now after waiting, and knowing how much their product costs, I'd be furious too if there were any flaw at all, big or little... ugh.

I'd tell Em, if it isn't shipped by this weekend, cancel my order. It's been over 10 days. You can accept my money right away, but can't deliver a product on time! That's bs. You have a schedule your working around and not to mention, since the body shop is doing the work, if the complete their other work, I doubt you'd be able to bring it back in without them charging you more

Oh and FYI, I got my hp tuners pro today

 

[FamilyTruckster]

Bad dood! We'll have to hook up and play around with it sometime. I'm doing the exhaust myself, it's just that the body shop is expecting it to be on, as I promised them zero hassle with the esky bumper swap, that was part of the deal... if it does not ship tomorrow and arrive Saturday/super early Monday I will absolutely flex nuts on them for sure... this bites!

Great White Buffalo.... great white buffalo...

 

[FamilyTruckster]

Just an update... I threw on the corsa system, and hacked up the bumper that got rear-ended so I could at least enjoy the exhaust while the body shop was waiting on parts... sounds awesome, zero drone, very aggressive at cold start, polite yet powerful otherwise. She's been in the body shop since late last week and expected to be done tomorrow-ish... cant wait to get it back, also, very excited to see it with the esky bumper and tips....

Wrecked bumper hacked up to fit the corsa for last weekend...

Found the license plate to my supercharged silverado ss... considering resurrecting it for the Yukon, but probably not....

Also, if anyone is interested in these big bad boys... if the price or item is right I may trade/sell...

[about20ninj45]

Will you be taking this out to Milan drag way?

 

[FamilyTruckster]

Hopefully eventually... keep having set backs... I'm currently without a radio, specmo says $1600 for an exchange... don't wanna drag it till I up the boost and have a better tune... kinda wanna go through the trans, but that's not 100% necessary just yet (knock on wood). How about you?

 

[about20ninj45]

radio!? what radio? stock? Im going to go out there to get baseline times before the install. I have a rpm lvl 4 trans im tossing in that some guy traded for me to do backsplash ( once its completed_in his kitchen. But ill install that when it grenades lol

Are you maf or speed density tune? Hows the new baby!?
