Cheap CTS-V Gets a New Exhaust and Fully Serviced!

Diving headfirst into the mechanicals on my cheap 2005 CTS-V. New X pipe, mufflers and beautiful 4" stainless tips, along with other much needed maintenance. Sounds awesome! Price reveal at the end of the video. I'll do a full total cost involved breakdown after we're done with all of our work on this car in a future video. Enjoy!

    I just developed a clunk from the rear end tonight on my 05 ctsv with 119000km oe 73000 miles. This was my late cousins who passed away last August. Should also mention it is supercharged as well. Thinks i have repaired so far.....water leaking in trunk lid, from bad weather seal around third brake light. Water leaking from passenger rear right door (plugged drainage holes) which flooded tbe floor area around the fuse and relay boxes, abd ratting ekectrical wires on floor pan. Constant limp mode, which i fixed by replacing throttle body from c5 Corvette, then a tps relearn. Car was running amazing until tonight with the clunk, especially from stop to 1st and reverse. Havnt even looked under the car yet, but im guessing a carrier bearimg, or u joint. Either way, itll probably need a whole new driveshaft since they are not serviceable. Fun car, but im thinking its just going to be an endless money pit.

    Can check the idle air control valve. Pretty common in LS motors for those to give problems after a bit. If it’s causing issues “sometimes” it can give an overload on the circuit however and cause it to fry your ECU. Have had this happen on one and a QX4. Have a V3 myself. Love the OG CTS-V and it’s awesome to see them getting some love. Great find and enjoy the videos. 👌🏽

    Chris I hate to tell you this you might want to look for a hidden toggle switch for the cluster. You drove and drove and not a single mile was registered. Check under the dash around foot area. Better yet open the fuse location and see if there is any wires where the cluster fuse is or could possibly be wired to the cluster itself. I hope it's not the case but doesn't hurt to check.

    I own a 2006 and I had all 3 of those codes for the stability system the yaw sensor controls the g meter and it is run off the wheel hub sensors. It is under the center console and all you have to do is take off 4 bolts and pull up the back by the arm rest and it is right there. Be careful with the yaw code because it was causing my front left brake to randomly lock up on me. I unplugged it and it never did it again it’s like a 50 dollar part if you drive it again you should unplug it to be safe.

    Just a thought but I would check for vacuum leaks that would cause a wierd idle at first. Good luck!

    Nice job on that exhaust piping 👍 This cadi is gonna be sick when it's back on the street!! Keep up the good work. Videos are very informative. 6 speed cadi with a Corvette motor, BadASs ride! That's ur business on what u paid....you got a killer deal. The haters will always have shit to say. Let me know if you want to sell it when ur done with it. I'm 10 mins from Boston.

    Theres an 05 same color as yours with 137k miles for sale in AZ for $14k 5k is a steal. (I am contemplating buying a V1 which is how the algorithm showed me your video)
