THE CTS GETS A NEW EXHAUST SETUP...

- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2022
- In this video, I get a new setup for my CTS when it comes to exhaust.
I have done everything from Headers, Hi Flow Cats, to even getting a custom catback exhaust setup done for it.
I definitely am enjoying this setup, and I hope you guys like it as well!

I have basically the same car but an '05. Same paint too. Your videos have been popping up in my feed, cool to see someone so dedicated to the car in 2022. I've only had mine for 2 years but it's a fun car.
Ay that’s great to hear man. I fell in love with mine ever since I got to drive it in 2019. My parents owned it since 2014, but I didn’t own it until 2021. These are fun cars, and they have a hidden aftermarket that takes a little time to get it work, but I’ve been happy with how it’s been going on. I appreciate the support!
@@KSShel that's cool to hear man. I've spent a lot of time reading posts on Cadillac forums and learned a lot about the car. I'll be watching your vids. keep up the good work
Don’t stop making videos and doing stuff to this car you’re my guidance😂 I have an 05 CTS-silver with 148k miles. Love from West Michigan❤️
Thank you for the support bro 🫡
Much love from FL. 🤙
03 cts black here boughta bring ol girl back
I did this exact same thing to my 04 CTS 3.6 about 2 years ago. The 1st thing to keep in mind is that you're going to need a tune to get the full benefit of these headers, You will get lean codes, and the engine will start to run hotter than normal. I tuned mine with HP tuners. The only thing that needs to be changed in the vehicle's calibration is power enrichment=Lamda
Yeah, I 100% need to get a tune. I'm not throwing lean codes, but I am throwing P0420/P0430 because of my Hi Flow cats. I'm wanting to get tuned after a Trans Swap/Rebuild along with installing a factory 3.91 LSD from an SRX. Doing a service on my 5L40 would probably do me no good since it's on it's OG ATF from 2007. 🙁
Yeah got the same thing blacked out almost everything except doors and finders, everything is wrapped in gloss black and it makes it stand out so crazy, painted rims , just little stuff make her sexy
Wild
I'm happy to see this and it's a big step in your project.
K swap when? 😳
The only Mod I didn.t do on my CTS. Would never get past inspection in my state (NJ). Cool !
Haha, yeah I doubt I would’ve passed too if I still lived in Jersey. 😅 Florida doesn’t do emissions testing luckily!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌🙌🙌
I'm going to do the same since my cats are both blown and my o2 sensors keep failing and falling out of their ports. I'm thinking of a downpipe instead of cats.
I love this this I’ve got a murdered out 05 and been looking for a way to put and exhaust on that is actually pretty good
Yeah, it was a pretty complicated job. I will say though, it’d prob be better to keep the factory manifolds and cats on for a more toned down sound. It’s pretty loud and I have a bad exhaust leak.
But it was an experience for sure. Gonna have to reorder new headers because of a hole in one. No clue how, but it happened.
Well I’m currently no cat with factory exhaust on driver side and broken about two foot gap from manifold to resonator so it sounds like crap but I love the way this sounds I was thinking also adding two mufflers so make it quite and deep
@@Anthony-rg5ic yeah my plan is to go Catless and throw on a set of Vibrant Resonators eventually. Maybe a rear muffler eventually.
I have 04 mine is sliver
I have that same code on my 1997 c1500 it comes and goes every week or two then goes away for a month and comes back should I just get new cats?
cool setup man, I was looking for exhaust setups and found your vid. could you possibly puts links to all off the product you bought to make it a little easier for me to find them
Sure thing.

@@KSShel thank youuu
Cool upgrade 🔥🔥🔥💪💪👍💯
thank you!!
@@KSShel just a update on my Cadillac CTS I just replaced my ecm and the anti theft light went off and my gauges are working again and my ac works
@@cadillac9142 Nice man!
@@KSShel I bought a cold air intake with a 3 inch pipe do you think it’ll fit on a CTS So I guess that would make it a like somewhat of a short ram intake
@@cadillac9142 Was it made for a CTS? SRIs might also rob you of power because they’ll heatsoak super easily.
Making me want to put a aftermarket exhaust on my 2.8l 2006 cts. Had it a year now and haven’t done a thing! This winter i want to start building it up for better performance and keep it like a sleeper, any tips or anything i should do to it? First mod ideas?
Maintenance before anything. Not sure about 2.8 stuff though. Prob have an intake and exhaust on it and just chill.
Nice setup I’m fersure going to try it out .
Can you explain a little more you said priced the exhaust at 400 w catback
So you took off the mufflers ? By exhaust are you talking about the new pipes and weld? You stated the factory exhaust would not fit the cat or reso x
Yeah, so I took my car to the exhaust shop open header and I had them weld me an entirely new Catback setup. 2.5in all around with the Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe in the middle. It costed me $400 for them to weld it all together including new pipe.
@@KSShel sounds good I’m going to buy all they parts first and take it to a shop
So when I go with all parts I just tell them I want a 2.5 catback all around ?
Also I watched a lot of 3.6 exhaust and your hands down sounds the best compared to straight piping or just new mufflers been watching your channel for a while the car has come a long way
@@harborspeedtv7100 Yeah, it’s a full 2.5in Catback exhaust. Thank you for the support as always. 🙌
Personally, if you don’t want to go super wild just get the Catback. The headers were rather difficult to install due to how tight the engine bay is. Labor costs can get high if you’re doing it at a shop.
@@KSShel makes sense yeah man I seen you put them on I’d have to just go the alt route and have my mechanic put it on hopefully won’t charge me to much , my current headers are factory and beat up and my cats are bad so I’m thinking of just going with your setup trying to keep everything under 1500 since I have to pay for labor , check my page out this week I’ll be uploading videos 🤙
would all those parts fit in a cts 3.6 premium 3rd gen with digital clustes an all that?
It will not. The LFX has a different design from the LY7. Best you can do is probably have an exhaust made for your car at a shop if it doesn’t have a factory valved exhaust.
What type of exhaust is thiss and what is the brand because I have thiss same car
It’s a Custom Full Exhaust Setup.
1 7/8in Long Tube Headers from American Muscle (having issues with this, managed to put a hole in one side.)
Pypes 300 Cell Hi-Flow Cats
Then a Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe
Entire Catback is 2.5in.
Goes out to 4in Tips.
While I do like it, it leaks. So when I eventually rebuild the engine, I’ll go with a new full setup, should be higher quality components.
Just wondering we’re did you get your grill?
Pulled it off of a Junkyard CTS. It’s the typical CTS-V styled grille, I made a video on it a few months back. 🙂
Does this work on the 2.8L
No clue. As far as I’m concerned, the 2.8 is a whole different engine than the 3.6.
Where do you buy all your parts?
It depends on what I’m looking at. I tend to buy straight from the manufacturers website if it’s a new part. Used parts are from a junkyard car.
What’s the name of your mufflers
0 mufflers. Only a resonated X-Pipe from Magnaflow.
E85 tune soon??
Plan is to get a 5L50 and LSD first, but after that I plan on getting a 93 Tune for it. Don’t know if anyone makes flex fuel kits for Gen 1s. 🤷
Yea they do
Can I do the same for my 2012 cts coupe?
Headers should fit in yours. Not too sure. I definitely say to add mufflers and resonators to this setup. Cleaned up the sound for my car pretty good.
@@KSShel how fast is your 0-60?
@@CaddyCoupe around 6.5-7s because I’m stockntune
No shout out to me dawg?😭😭🤣🤣
Shit, my fault Jay 😂😞
