That sounds awesome! Is that just cat back with the Corsa, or also with long tube headers?

Joe
Thanks man! Sorry for the delayed response dood, that is simply just the Corsa Sport (PN 14886) cat-back system.... factory manifolds, factory cats...
LOVE Corsa... only system I'll spring the extra cash for (would go a whole year without performance exhaust to save for Corsa). Had a Sport system on my 04 silverado SS and again on my 2012 silverado z71... Only other **** I've ever owned was a Spin Tech back in 2003ish on my built 89 IROC (bah!) and that sounded great, but for a daily, Corsa takes the cake in my opinion ..

Yes nasty meaning it sounds badass. I love the way my truck sounds on a cold startup, I'd like to put a cam and maybe headers in the future. Keep up the great work

Truck looks awesome. I would have it professionally polished to get those swirls out of your paint. You will be amazed on the outcome.

I feel ya. I had 70k when I bought mine and the paint was trashed. Took it to a detailer and he charged me $250 and it looks like glass now. Definitely worth it!

Love that ass end, love the whole truck!. But there's one small detail that bugs me, the outer trim on not just yours but all clear tails have a white/clear border that stands out. Ptm that border would look clean imo.
Then clear corners up front or a retro and it's perfect,. ....well after a deep multi stage detail on the paint.

First off... THANK YOU!! Seriously, the compliments are killer man, thank you! Secondly, I couldn't agree with you more on the lights/trim... and obviously the paint ("buzz's girlfriend... WOOF!"). I despise slapping money down for stuff like lights, bulbs, trim, rims and decorations lol, but i'll admit, ive been searching high and low lately for headlight solutions first and foremost on account of the poor visibility... it really is a problem! And, admittedly, a lot of whats available out there look hundreds of times better than the factory ones... but theres just SOOOOOO much out there, and a lot of it i hear is or can be pure garbage, definitely dont want to pull the trigger and flop a few hundred bucks to wind up with trash... ugh, shoot me some solid suggestions, PLEASE! I;m bad at picking that stuff out...
Also, again, admittedly, I've been interested in and attracted to the Platinum Escalade smoked taillights and even possibly third brake light/spoiler setup... it's incredibly overwhelming when trying to search through the forum for part numbers, pictures and install/mod directions for the esky tail stuff... any direction or suggestions in that area would be incredibly appreciated as well...

again, thanks a ton for the kind words, compliments and motivation!

05single is definitely right on the retro if your looking at headlight options becuz visibility is your reason for changing them. And as far as the tails, i went g5s with esky appliqués to match and the esky third modded full light. Seemed like the only way too go once you start looking at the options, also i believe they make the g5s and esky third smoked if thats the way you wanted to go. Almost forgot my compliment too, badass truck man!! [emoji106][emoji106]
