I drive a 2014 Cadillac xts and I’m looking to get a muffler delete, do you recommend I take off the resonators also? To make it louder or no?
I wouldn't recommend personally because it will make a lot of rasp. It will be plenty loud enough if you keep the resonators.
@@ebon18cole yeah i left the resonator on, it sounds alright right now, i really want it to be faster however, i got 0-60 in abt 6-6.5 seconds which is fine but i want it faster, should i save for a tune up or do u recommend anything?
This is probably the most straight forward/easiest company that does a tune. I've used them on 4 vehicles so far and no complaints with any of them. www.trifectaperformance.com/store/product/1054-2013-2019-cadillac-xts-36l-advantage/
@@ebon18cole what was the difference before and after?
Night and day difference. I have no doubt that you will you like. But if I was you I would wait ti get it on black friday they always have a deal on it. I want to say it 20% or 30% off
Mine just went out, dealer wanted $200 bucks to do this LOL. Bought the parts for $30 bucks, put them on in 5 minutes.
Any mods? I just bought ‘17 Vsport scary to be doing burn outs in the caddi’s😂😅
Mods that I recommend would be a tune and intake. But have fun with your Vsport!
I just chopped my muffler off and piped it out, and it sounds like a Honda civic. Stupid drone and ridiculous rasp. Did you add anything besides pipe to replace the muffler? Resonator? Glasspack?
Nothing else. I still have the stock cats and resonators in place. I would recommend adding an H pipe to your setup
Appreciate your video man. Just got out of work and seen my cover hanging also , you showing me the part numbers made it easier for me to order the parts right now!
You're welcome glad I could help.
Do you recommend it ?
Yes for sure. To this day I get stopped most places I go to get asked about how nice it sounds.
@@ebon18coledamn Alr bet! What else have you had done to the car to make it sound like that
@@pharaoh4698i'd like to know this as well, is it only a muffler delete?
Nothing else was done to the exhuast other than the delete.
Where did you get the diffuser? And how much?
Got it from Savage Cadillac and I think at the time it was $800
How’d you do the burnout in it? Is it a manual?
It's a dual clutch. But you have to put it in sport or track mode then press the traction control button twice to put it in competitive mode and that will allow you to do a burnout
Any issues since installing the BOV ?
No issues it's pretty straight forward. The only thing I did that was different was order the Ats-v clamps that the Vsport doesn't come with.
Appreciate the videos man, keep up the good work! I have a VSport and since these are rare it’s nice to find someone that works on theirs.
Thank you.
Have you noticed any difference since the installation on performance and fuel economy
I haven't. It's still a great cruiser. Going speeds of 55-70 mph gets between 24-33 mpg
What year is the car?
It's a 2016
Is there any advantage over iridium?
At first I could tell a huge difference but now I don't. I've been needing to pull some plugs to recheck the gap and see if they're worn but I can tell something is off with them currently based on i'm getting misfires under high boost. The longevity of them is not good from what I've experienced other than that they're decent plugs just not long term.
Yes the advantage is for ngk to make profits. Iridium is $4,700/oz and ruthenium is $400/oz. I like iridium, higher melting point would presumably mean less wear over time I.e. longer change intervals
Oil Catch will also help reduce carbon deposits bc alot of those show up from blow-by. Also highly recommend Gum Out, or any Fuel System Cleaner with PAE, run it on recommended intervals with a good Oil Catch/ Air Oil separator and you should see good results.
I haven't figured out the oil catch can. I looked into it in the past but haven't had a chance to really figure the routing yet.
Nice upgrade. I actually been thinking of doing that little upgrade. Im just wondering if the driver side led is too bright while sitting on the light with the signal on. Have you tried it at night?
It's not too bright. It's about as bright as Savages led side markers.
Good job brother
Thank you much appreciated.
Do you have exhaust on that? I have the exact same car. Love your video
I have no muffler on it and it's a good car overall. But thank you.
Hey man do you think it helped clean out some carbon? I used crc through my intake tubes and didn’t see much smoke. My 16 vsport has 95000 miles and is currently at the dealership for turbo rattle. I’m in nc too
Crc isn't really that strong of a product I would recommend amsoil power foam but with the factory there's a lot of tubing to actually get to anything that would be carboned up. I will be doing it again on my own time soon and will be removing a lot more things to try to get it cleaned better.
@@ebon18cole nice are you going to make a video on it? Because I’m curious if it helps
I know it has been over 8 months but did you ever get it figured out? Mine is been slow for as long as I can remember. I took it to Caddy and they told me that was normal. Go figure, but it still works. Great video by the way.
Thank you. And It still works the same. It works better with some kind of lubricant on it like WD-40.
With the car seat in the back I love it that’s why I wanna get a cts v perfect for the family on the weekend perfect yourself on Friday nights
That was part of the main reason I got the cts car and got rid of the ats.
@@ebon18cole so other than the seat I guess what the difference between ats and cts I don’t know much about em
Keep up the videos man. I have a Vsport my self and all these videos are informative and entertaining to watch.
Thank you that means a lot.
how’s manual mode
Works perfectly IMO. Nothing I would change about it.
I mean in the terms of duration not the loud level
Softer = louder and longer release sound
@@ebon18cole thank u!thank u so much!and a happy new year fot u and ur ride 😁
Keep it up, never stop. #1 place to + your subs Promo`SM.
why does your dash look different then other v sports i’ve seen those dashes look terirble in comparison
2016+ have an updated dash.
2014+ have em gotta get the premium package
Usually the centers burn quicker with too high of pressure. Mabe try lowering the psi a little
That makes sense. But no more burnouts for me until I need tires again
Bleeding the LF3/4 intercooler is a must. Bleed until even all the tiny fizzy bubbles disappear. First bleed can take 45 min or more. Less time once its a maintenance routine. I wouldn't use the side release valves unless filling up an empty IC . Bleeding thru the schrader valve should be done every few months too, more during the summer heat. I suggest to people to use Water Wetter or VP Racing Cool Down in the funnel to bleed with. Heat is the achilles heel of the LF3/4 platform. Look into installing a small reservoir tank to continually self bleed the system, it's the best initial route to save you from manual maintenance bleeding. Edelbrock sells a nice universal one that many Schmidty Tuned V-Sports use. More than likely your rubber bleeder valve cover along with your manifold gasket melted/disintegrated because your MATs were way too hot, which happens from not bleeding the IC enough. Which is why bleeding or installing a res tank is so crucial. The computer will limit boost and power when MATs get too high to protect itself, and that creates a stressed system over time. Curious, your videos do not mention that your car is tuned, so I'm hoping that you are properly tuned being that you have an aftermarket ZZP intake. The LF3/4 is very sensitive to air change, and aftermarket intakes completely change the MAF of your V-Sport. Ultimately it causes a very rough lean state in the AFR which is a slow death that starts to reveal itself with more and more issues that build up over time. Making things even hotter too. Also, hope your aftermarket blow off valves are in full-recirc as that is what the system actually requires. If you're all tuned up properly, than disregard my concerns for your V-Sport bro! Just ran across your channel and I have been a leading voice in the progression of this platform because I absolutely love the CTS V-Sport and ATS-V. 95% of mechanics and even Cadillac Techs rarely see an LF3/4 engine, so it's best to learn it yourself like you are doing. Check out Schmidty Tuning when ya get a chance, as no other performance tuner has progressed and pushed this platform more. Also if you ever need performance parts, I'm the sales and promo director over at Renick Performance. Have fun on your CTS V-Sport journey! They are rare gems with TONS of hidden power. Warmest regards! Jaeden
Thank you! I appreciate all of the tips. I really enjoy working and learning more about the Vsport and I don't bleed as a regular maintenance so I will look into that and the reservoir for self bleeding. I have Trifecta for now just been waiting for my warranty to expire before switching tunes though because I don't know how easy or difficult it is to put it back on the stock tune with Schmidty. But I currently have the bov in full recirculation. I notice that there is a rough idle when I use Walmart gas, Not sure if they have worse gas quality over other places.
@@ebon18cole very welcome fam!!! I love seeing more people getting into the CTS V-Sport & ATS-V. They genuinely are Cadillacs greatest pound for pound cars in terms of cost & power capabilities. Yeah, this platform is really dependent on good fueling. The better the fuel, the better the car runs & the better your performance results will be . In the very least they need good 93 premium gas. I feel bad for those in states that don’t have access to 93 octane and are forced to run watery 91 octane. Ultimately getting the car on E85 is the absolute best thing though. I run an E85 mix with Amoco 93 octane or Shell 93, and am lucky to have easy access to the E85. I once ran the trifecta tune years and years back, it’s mediocrity is actually what made me find Schmidty and bring him to the V-Sport world, so that this platform could actually get real full-on performance tuning. Biggest benefit though besides being insanely faster- is that Justin monitors the health of your car anytime you want, and provides unlimited tuning files. Track tunes, street tunes, new mod tunes etc… think I have around 100 files from Schmidty haha. When ever you make that move to bring your V-Sport to life with Justin, just need the “trifecta” OBDII cable and your stock OEM tune file. Once you re-flash your car back to stock, then Schmidty can start tuning your V-Sport into a beast!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving my man!
Helped with my q50 red sport BOV
Glad I could help
Love it
Thank you.
Cold start sounds really good
Thank you.
Keep up the good work
Thank you this helped a lot
Great video
Sounds good I just bought one. Looking for a little more sound. How bad does this drone on the highway?
There is hardly any at all. But I hope to change to double walled tips soon. I dont know if that will help or hurt it as far as the drone though.
You have a tune?
Yes I have trifecta. I love the convenience of it since I'm still under warranty
What Vband type clamp did you use to connect the BOV to the charge pipe? I can't find anything to use unless I swapped to the ATS-V style pipe or use hoses to connect mine.
I ordered an Ats-v clamp from gm I forget what the part was called and the part number but look up the exploded view on a gm website for the Ats-v blowoff valve breakdown
Nice bro. I have an XTS v-sport. I wanna do a muffler delete as well. Do you think I can get aftermarket blow off valves for it? Nice car
I'm thinking you should be able to use the Ats-v blow off valves as well since they're all similar engines.
I just added a BOV on my Mercedes E550. You answered all the questions I had in this video. Much appreciated
You're welcome glad I could help.
Keep in full recirc
I came across this video because I bought a Fiesta ST Sunday (with my mom ;) and it definitely has flutter. Thanks for taking me through how to adjust the blow off valve. Based on my research on it, the only way your blow off valve can be too soft is if your car struggles and stutters on idle. Any flutter is air going the wrong way through the turbo which is harder on it, but based on what I've read and seen, not detrimental. SICK RIDE MAN!
Youre welcome and thank you I appreciate the support.
Can they tune those?
Yes. There's a few online tuners right off I know of trifecta and schmidty I know there another but I don't remember right off. I don't know the differences between the two I mentioned other than the process for tuning it.
Off topic from the video but curious what tune and what exhaust you're running? Thanks for the video, VSport owner myself with a Trifecta Tune but stock exhaust
I have trifecta as well and a muffler delete. based on the mufflers that are available for the car I felt like the muffler delete was the way to go.
Any downpipes?
No down pipes just the muffler delete. Plan is to change the tips later on though.
what did you do to give it such a loud blowoff? sounds great
Thanks. And I have aftermarket turbo smart blow off valve for an ATS-V which are louder than the stock ones.
@@ebon18cole you used ATS specific ones? I’m thinking about doing the same but I’m wondering why you went wirh ATS bovs vs CTS. Also did you get the 50/50 recirc/vent or go full atmosphere vent?
So the softer setting makes hot harder and makes the bov louder and the hardest just makes it flutter?
