Re: Vroom Vroom

I'm not sure how different the install process was on yours, but the part numbers I had picked up from my dealership were the bracket (part #25755350 $14.68 - this bracket is for the left side and I was told they didn't have a part like that for the 03 for the right side) and the Rubber Insulator (Part #25726418 $5.04 each - need 2)...... they also had to cut a piece of metal from under the car where the end bracket goes (easy cut).... and once they placed it there the left and right side looked even.... it might not look like so in the photos but that's to do with the cut in the bumpper.... I might decide to fix that one day by cutting more of the bumpper on the right side, but honestly I don't think I need to and it doesn't bother me that much....


from a previos thread...thanks to kalicts

Yah!!!

On Reed's FAQ site is a write up of the procedure with pics, here is the link: http://www.cadillacfaq.com/faq/answe...ase/index.html

When you do the pics for this, snap some of the "Blue Interior Lighting" you have, would like to see how that looks day and night shots would be nice

Good luck on the install, shouldn't be a problem!!!

Re: Vroom Vroom

I was able to reuse my rubber insulators. If you don't get the hanger they can fabricate one for you.

It will be interesting to hear from you and its application to the 2.8 engine.
Did you have fun hauling that big a$$ exhaust?

The shop doing the exhaust told me that they did one for another cts before so he already know how to do it.


During the day the lights dont illuminate much and at night the lights are not as bright as the stock ones. You can see enough for reading and such but they dont bother for driving. They do give out a nice glow. Since i got my tint all the way around you can turn the interior lights at night but from the outside you can't tell the lights are on because of them being blue.

Hell yeah it does. I love it just had it done this morning to my 2.8. It does have a way deeper humming sound and you can feel a difference when driving it or in my case gunning it. LOL Everybody with a 2.8 feel free to do it too. I love it. (plus is a very inexpensive mod) I got the exhaust for $100 and paid $80 for the install. Not bad in my book.


I got to go to work now but i'll post the pics later on this afternon or tonight.

I LOVE THIS FORUM. Thanks.


By mid month i'll have my V-sways on also. I can't wait.

Re: Vroom Vroom

Anybony have input on what is the best exhaust system for an 2006 3.6L 6 spd mannual I want alot of power and alot of sound. I'm young dumb and full of cum and the women walking down the street need to know. This is a good 2 months away for me in modding but i cant stop thinking about it so let the planning begin!

Re: Vroom Vroom

How much of a difference between the V exhaust and Corsa. I'm a newbie with a 2006 3.6L CTS and am interested in hearing a nicer humming to her....Are the install complicated? If you have the parts numbers for the V exhaust it is appreciated ?

The Corsa and Borla have a much more aggressive(louder) sound but also produce more HP gains than the V exhaust. But its $125 vs $900..

You will definitley like the Borla then, Billy Boats are screamers at full steam as well. Just check out the threads either here or on the V forum.
