Modded CTS VSport

- This was an early video of my Cadillac CTS VSport before I really started the Jet Fuel Only Channel. Since this video, I've removed the downpipes and custom tune and switched to just a Trifecta tune. The trifecta tune has been great! The downpipes sounded great at full throttle, even with stock muffler but they were a little raspy at times and didn't improve horsepower from what I could tell.

Loved the way the cat shot out of the garage upon start up.
those downpipes look amazing！
Thanks for the Q& A here,very helpful and absolutely love your Caddy. I was thinking of getting an ATS V but hard to find a good deal on one. The V Sport seems like a great alternative especially after watching your video.
We finally have some success at making more power. There’s a new tuner that’s unleashing more and the ATS-V turbo swap seems to be a success so far with that owner
Loved the autoX vid. I found it... "very motivating" to get mine out & run the lot.
Sounds incredible
Those are some bad ass rims!!
Looks great. I assume lowered as well. Stock muffler? Like the duel tips and rear valance as well. Where did you get the rear valance?
Yes lowered on D3 springs. Both the bumper and lower valence are CTS-V parts. Internal absorber and bumper bar are also CTS-V parts.
Nice work!!!
Nice build!!
I've always wondered if the spoiler from a CTS-V would fit the trunklid of the V-Sport and non-V CTS. Do you have any insight on that? And I LOVE the car!
Carlo Garcia yes. A real CTS-V spoiler technically requires a new brake light that has holes for mounting. You can also take the painted portion off your stock headlight and drill holes as needed. But check out SavageCadillac.com For CTS freestyle Spoilers that are meant for non-V cars.
@@JetFuelOnly - thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it! And thanks for the link, checking it out right now...
Lol....poor cat
Sykostikism, downpipes are from? Own a 2014 same color as yours I'm starting to work on to Include D3 lowered springs like yours as well as a set of offset 19's / Trifecta Tune, but really would like to know about your intake system, downpipes please
Downpipes are modified Renick downpipes for ATS-V. Intake and downpipes require custom tuning, a Trifecta tune is not sufficient. Skip the D3 springs, the company sucks, items get backordered, and product isn't always as stated. There are better springs such as CTS-V Sprint Springs from Renick Performance. CTS-V springs work great, as many people have used them.
Thank you for your kind response Sykostikism
Do all the mods from the atsv fit? I like the atsv but need a little more room for work, and 600+ horsepower just isnt necessary
Rob Horton some things are expected to bolt on but overall there’s nothing you NEED to get. Trifecta tune is all you need. Downpipes don’t do much if anything. I’ve removed mine. ZZP makes an intake for the VSport if you want some intake sound but Trifecta will get you around 500-520 Crank HP.
Cold start actually reminds me of a M3/M4.
Yo catback ran 😂
Bro I went straight to the comments after 😹😹
I heard of high flow cats but Bruh!!! 🤣😂🤣
Hmmm.....Sounds like how my stock cts vsport in track mode. How come? 🤔
I️ like the black chrome look rear emblem and badges. What did you do to achieve that look?
Duplicolor shadow chrome. It doesn’t hold up long but it’s easy to redo
@@JetFuelOnly Did you use that on the all the chrome or just the badges? I had a shop do mine and they used plastidip, needs to be redone soon though so I'm looking at other options. Also, did you use it on the chrome on the front grille surround?
@@wyattjohnson3897 The rest of the chrome is covered in black 3m vinyl. The grill is the Cadillac black chrome grill surround available from the dealer.
Nice bro!! Did you ever try to get rid of the metallic sound? Also have this car been reliable?
No, the DPs will come out eventually since they don't really do much for horsepower. Car has been very reliable.
@@JetFuelOnly awesome thank you.
Hahah cold start scared that cat pretty good!
I have a 2019 CTS VSport. Where can I get that quad exhaust and rear diffuser. What's a website that sells high quality after market parts for my vsport? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for watching! I have more videos about the Vsport than anyone - be sure to check them out. I have one about diffusers but Savage Cadillac sells the OEM V diffuser and reverse light bracket needed for conversion on your car.
@@JetFuelOnly Thanks man! I didn't know a site like this existed for the vsport. I'm only interested in high end quality aftermarket parts and OEM. This site looks like it has exactly what I need. Thanks again! I'll be looking forward to the next video.
Hope you don’t mind me asking but what size of wheel and tire are you using and what brand because it looks great
hamster whiskers
Rohana RF2 wheels
19x9.5 = 35 mm offsets
19x8.5 = 33 mm offset
Custom powder coated
Thanks for responding. You have convinced me to go ahead and do some minor upgrades to my v sport. I am a lucky guy and have modded a lot of cars of Italian and German lineage but wasn’t sure about this daily driver. I love the dual exhaust look and will definitely be doing the trifecta or livernois tune. I have to do some research for some new shoes but definitely will not go bigger than 19’s. I have always been an HRE guy but recently bought a set of Signature Wheels for my AMG GTS and have been happy not to mention half the cost. Either way thanks again and congrats, you have a great looking and sounding car. I hope you continue to post videos.
Sorry I forgot to ask, any droning with that exhaust and it did effect your low end torque? Have you gone head to head with an E63 or M5? The fastest I could get out of my stock car was a 13.2. Can’t remember the speed.
hamster whiskers It's just downpipes and some resonators in place of X pipe. Stock mufflers. There's no drone, just the terrible rasp at 3k-4K rpm. It's loud at that point. No low end loss, my boost kicks in pretty low to make up for that. I ran 12.8 stock and 12.5 modded. Possible 12.3 if I can get the 60' I had on the 12.8 run.
I just brought a 2014 cts vsport Just wondering If there anything difference in 2014 and your 2015 ? And your spoiler were did u get it I want one just like it and if it fits my 2014 cts vsport
Emblems are different, I don’t think they had Lane Keep Assist only departure warning. Maybe I WiFi or wireless charging options either. Otherwise mostly the same.
Spoiler is GM spoiler available from dealer or any GM part supplier online pre-painted.
Which front grill is that? And what website can I get it from, along with the emblem
Check out my grill swap video. Mine is the stock 2015 grill with blacked out chrome and black chrome grill surround. Gm parts can be found at websites like www.gmpartsdirect.com
Question - what exhaust system did you buy and did you have to buy tips for it separate ??
Clayton Cuzzo at the time of this video I had stock muffler, the downpipes made all the sound. Almost any muffler on this car will sound similar to my downpipe setup (without the rasp). Most people do Magnaflow, Corsa, or GM Performance.
The tips are designed to fit my CTS-V rear end. They won’t fit a stock VSport. Other people have converted stock bumpers to the quad outlet setup using different tips.
Jet Fuel Only gotta know , what down pipes did you use ???
ATS-V downpipes adapted to fit the VSport.
Hey brotha I'm looking into getting air intakes, do I buy 2 air intakes? And if so which would be good to get?
Adrian F my intake is custom made. Join the modding Facebook group to see the write up. One person has worked the Renick performance ATS-V intake to fit, but not sure how well it works. Plus it’s expensive.
Jet fuel Only, thank you for the reply, so does the v sport come naturally 2 air intakes? Which ones did you use?
Adrian F the car comes with one air filter box with two intake tubes attached - one to each turbo. I used a bunch of off the shelf parts. There is no official aftermarket intake for this car. Also, it’s not recommended to modify these parts unless you have a custom tune or design the intake properly. Either way it’s mostly for looks and sound, no power increase.
Ahhh makes sense! Appreciate the knowledge,
I almost buy one but i heard lots of recalls have the differential problems! Can say something about yours?
Yes a set of cars needed new differentials. I didn’t have issues. Just had it replaced like the recall said. Didn’t cost anything. In the forums I’ve only seen 2-3 people report serious failures.
Lmao that cat took off
Hey what did you have to do to fit the CTS V rear bumper ?
Vegas Grows rear bumper, rear diffuser, internal steel bumper, some mounting brackets and had to move an object sensor. Shop did all the work.
@@JetFuelOnly where did you get those parts? Were they in a kit?
Standard GM parts. GM parts direct is one source. There is no kit
So the bumper Splitter that is a stock OEM for a CTS V?
Carbon package
The rear diffuser is from a CTS-V (non-carbon). It is not the original diffuser for the VSport. You can by an overlay diffuser from Savagecadillac.com for about $700 or do the full V rear conversion for $2-2.5k
Will the rear diffuser fit on an 14 CTS v sport?
Only if you replace the entire rear bumper and crash bar. Plus a few other small parts. Check out www.savagecadillacindustries.com for an add on diffuser for a similar look for a lot less money.
What kind of rims are those?
Armando Del Rio Lobato Rohana RF2 -19"
Is the rear exhaust bumper diffuser the real OEM $$2,500 part or is it a less expensive replica Version because I love it and want that look for my Vsport also and if I have to pay the $$2,500 so be it
Adam Kaplan there are two different parts. One is carbon fiber and it’s $2500, this is the non CF one and it’s like $300. To do the conversion you need both the diffuser and bumper cover, plus (according to my shop) new internal bumper parts. Cost is $1500-$2000 Parts + Labor and paint.
The rasping sound and cold start killed it. Kinda sounds like someone farting inside a Coke can. Love the 3.6 but hearing the turbos/blow off valve sounds nastier than farting IMO
Yeah man it sounds like every V6 mustang and Camaro with straight pipes unfortunately. But it lays down some impressive numbers.
im new to the v sports, and i see ur rear bumper looks a little different from the ones i see online. is it aftermarket?
It’s a CTS-V rear bumper and diffuser. You can read more about the conversion here:

Hi nice car .. is this thing still running today after the tune and mods? Thinming about getting one but i dont know about reliability
Yes still running perfect. I think 70k miles all tuned. I took out the downpipes since the trifecta tube doesn’t really make more power with them and downpipes are smelly without cats.
However many cars have been running Schmidty tunes with tons more horsepower with no issues.
@JetFuelOnly wow that's great to hear. That's funny about the downpipe usually turbo cars make way more power full cattles... how does the ac work in these . I have a genesis 5.0 right now and the ac sucks in stop and go traffic that's why I'm looking at one of these instead
@boostedek3573 works great for me, but I live in a mild California climate. I rarely heard of any complaints. However, the Asae does have actuators that fail as many cars due to very expensive fix. I have a video on that.
@@boostedek3573 Its more about how the Trifecta tune limits the car to a specific horsepower. It will compensate to hit that target no matter what you put in it. Schmidty tune does pick up some power and definitely quicker boost with DPs
What spoiler do u have and are bumpers stock
GM accessory spoiler available through GM vendors. Bumper on rear is CTS-V bumper.
Great car but I'm trying to see how can I get more power? I'm stock now what would you suggest?
Schmidty tuning is the best bang for your buck. want more? Then add E85 sensor and run E30-E40 mix. Want more? Add upgraded HP Fuel pump and LP fuel pump. Want some more? Get Downpipes. Want more? Upgrade your turbos to ATS-V turbos with ported inlets.
The last setup will have you running high 10s with traction
Thanks for the input..
Nice!!
461 and 468 lbft/tq rear wheel horsepower and torque or flywheel? Thanks
That's to the wheels. Also it was measured on a hub dyno which has less wheel loss than a typical drum dyno. Best guess is between 500-520 crank hp.
@@JetFuelOnly Great numbers and very nice modded car. My CTS Vsport is comming.
Jet Fuel - what were the mods at the time of this thing getting 461 and 468 on the dyno?
I like the music at the beginning, who is it?
Intake, downpipes and custom tune. Basic trifecta tune should produce similar results. Another tuner is producing higher results now on good fuel. Don’t worry about the bolt on mods, 90% of the results come from the tune alone. Also don’t put your focus in dyno numbers as they mean very little since they vary between locations. Focus on the gains from baseline to modified or take it to the track to prove your power
Cat was like FREEDOM CALLS ME
Nice car!!! Looking into buying one of these and doing some similar mods to yours plus maybe like a cross axle back, I was wondering who did your tune? Was it a company? Staying away from trifecta been looking into livernois
Malik Jones Church tuning out of Las Vegas. I don’t think anyone is doing remote tunes for VSports with mods. But there also aren’t many, if any others running downpipes.
Gotcha will continue to look into livernois then I suppose. Thanks for the reply.
Nice car! How has the 3.6tt been for you? Looking to get an xts vsport, but don't know much about this engine. Also that rasp can be solved with a cross over pipe towards the tail section.
Emilthehun so far so good for me. I actually had the cross over removed and replaced with resonators to deal with the rasp.
Yooo how do I get this cat mod and how much? I want my exhaust to produce cats.
Lol
Nice ctsv 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Trifecta tune? What are the increases?
VSports have seen an average of 50-70 hp. Taking the car from 12.7 quarter mile to 12.3. Another tune is on the market that can take advantage of a little E85 making it closer to CTS-V power.
Cat ran like ohhhhhhh fakkkkkk!!!
How do u like the v sport good looking mods
Steve Givelas I love it. Still would rather have the V8. Also, if I did it again I’d skip the extra mods and just go basic Trifecta tune. The other mods don’t really do much for power
@@JetFuelOnly is this car realiable because this is so ducking cheap buy a 2014 ctsv sport with 400hp is a bargain I live in Canada and their are only two for sale on autotrader 22k for a 2014 model 156.724KM
2016 62K WITH LIKE 5,689KM
Ethan King very reliable! All cars have a few issues. All VSports generally have a turbo rattle which can be fixed but doesn’t need to be. Just a poor design. CUE screens will usually crack once, and some people have experienced exhaust leaks. I’d get a 2015 though.
@@JetFuelOnly I could care less about the cue screen turbo rattling is fine but please dear god not let one of the turbos fail exhaust leak I think will go with aftermarket exhaust
Considerably better than the STS-V
Doesn't sound better lolllllll
@@lacboiatl obviously not....its a V6 TT
Is that grille for a CTS-V?
Nope...CTS-V grills don't fit. Mine is the stock grill with the chrome blacked out.
Blacked out overlay?
@@starlight5430 gloss black vinyl on the chrome grill strips. The grill surround is factory option black chrome
Thanks
what year is ur vsport?
Gilbert Ortega 2015
was wondering if u changed the rear emblem....mine is a 2014 with the older style emblem....
V6 TT?
Yes
I’m lookin fo get one but I have a charger hemi wats more faster
Julian Mccoy check the Car magazines. Otherwise it’s all relative. If you want quarter mile stock is 12.7, with a tune 12.4-ish. I’m sure it handles better than a charger.
Jet Fuel Only think I might get one bro Lls and it’s a v6 Lls I didn’t know v6 had 426 horsepower
@@julianmccoy7394 it comes with two turbos
Add a wreath to the emblem and the Cad will be stylin
Were can i get that custom intake
juanito12361 I made it myself. I posted instructions in the files section of one of the Facebook groups. But you have to work with sheet metal for the airbox. Other parts are off the shelf.
And what facebook group would that be so i can look for it
And how much did it come out to and how good does it work
juanito12361 Cadillac CTS VSport Owners, and 2014+ Cadillac CTS VSport Appearance/Engine modding.
juanito12361 about $400 I think. Intake doesn’t do much of anything for this car as far as I can tell. There’s been no back to back dyno testing either.

stupid question. is your warranty voided with these mods

The downpipes are hardly the contribution...it's 90-95% all in the tunes that bring the power out of these cars

Will that grille fit a 2014?
Paul Herrera my grill is GM black chrome surround and stick grill for 2015. I blacked out the chrome slats with vinyl. You can do a 2015 grill conversion as a simple swap but bumper has to be removed. Be sure to get grill and badge for ACC or nonACC
Jet Fuel Only I really like the 15 emblems and grille way more than the 14, I am about to take delivery of a 14. I really like the styling of yours, great job!!!
Paul Herrera be sure to join the Facebook groups to get all the info you need. Thanks!
Rip cat nap
What kind of exhaust
Kendrick Bowlson stock exhaust. Downpipes are what make it sound like that.
V6??????
Yes sir. 3.6 Twin Turbo
41 subs.... Damn. Can you do a video on all the cosmetic things you did to it? May help get more subs. I definitely want to trade but they're expensive.
Not a bad idea man, I'll get on it. 2014s coming out of warranty aren't too bad!
Sounds like a GNX
*stock
Lol
My 89' Beretta sounded much better with stock chevy exhaust. Back then Chevy's v6 had a very raspy performance sound for a 6 cylinder & it was multi- port injected I miss my GTU!!!
I had the 88 Cavelier Z24. I like the sound of that six too
Scaredy cat scaredy cat
That a catbsck fs lol
Sounds like a Honda and looks like Cadillac!? Lol
Arnold Kevorkov no, it’s sounds like a v6 and looks like a cadillac because.... it’s a Cadillac that has a v6
Ok so here's the deal. AK's comment is both right & wrong: it actually did sound like a Honda... from the inside. But Honda's sound the way of the vid *from the outside*. Not pressed against the glass like you know what. While it did sound a little mower-y to me, neither would the sound from the interior bother me with kitting mine up the way op did. Esp the bumper & exhaust. Props all around. 😎👍
V8 or v6
Julian Mccoy VSport has the TT 3.6 V6
Simple Trifecta tune woulda got you more...Seems like your tuner is beginner at best
TC Jerzy are you kidding? That tune picked up as much or more than what Trifecta claims and no one has actually seen the gains that they claim with their tune.
The car is tuned "conservatively" by the tuner at 18PSI. You're right, dyno's do vary and aren't the end all of comparison. However this car picked up over 100hp on this dyno from baseline on 91 octane California gas. Could more be pulled from the car with better gas and more boost? Very likely. Trifecta claimed 458hp/512tq on 93 octane. What is it exactly that makes you say the Trifecta VSport was "way nastier?" You said your self numbers vary, so what else supports this claim? The next highest HP for a Trifecta tuned car is 435/475 and after that 430/446 both probably on 93.
Your right, the money wasn't well spent, but no one had done a full CAI/DP/Tune and I wanted to see what could happen. Someone had to do it to find out. I trust my tuner, as one of the trusted in the ATS-V community, but besides Trifecta, the quality/knowledge of tuning an LF3 is limited. Also, until a proper trans tuning option is available, it may be difficult to get the gains seen by the LF4 community.
Love your car bro, but I think you should be getting better #'s. Check the vid by the Spanish dude about the trifecta...His in-car runs were hellish in track mode. I see you have done a lot of research so far and I just think that maybe someone other than who you are working with might be able to help you out better. 93 octane might help ya out, but I wouldn't put the car under more boost unless you got money to burn. You are absolutely right that tuning info is limited, but people are just starting to dig into the Vsport. Maybe your video just didn't do you any justice in the comparison and I can be totally wrong, but it just didn't sound like your boost was coming in as hard. Maybe an in-car run in track mode, from the dig, on video may be better for viewers, or for me at least to get a good feel for how the boost comes in with this tune...Imma check you out from time to time to see how things are coming along. I will be buying one in March and want to plan a course of action. Looking for 500/500#'s with the least intrusive work. Most VSport testers are content where it is at, I just want borderline scary. Thanks for engaging with you subscribers
For you sure have points man. I'll take a look at the other guy's videos. Honestly, unless you just HAVE to have the size of car like the CTS (I love it), I would totally go ATS-V. The support sucks and it's growing so slowly. Thanks for following!
Also, come visit us on the VSport facebook groups. There are three primary ones. I started with a 500hp dream for this car as well, now I can't wait to drop it for a V. LOL
Cat doe 🤦🏽♂️😂💀
Looks cool, almost like the V but sounds like fart cannon honda😂
Thankfully the latest tunes make it as fast as a V
That was gay and the rasp was even gayer.
Thanks for watching
