2009 CTS-V 580 rwhp

I bought this car last year fully loaded with recaro seats, drove it for few months and realized it needed some mods. Brought it to place local to me Vette Doctors they do all work on my Corvette. Installed headers, high flow-cats, corsa mufflers, Intake,new pully for supercharger and tuned it. Car is monster now and will run with just about anything. Makes 580 at wheel. Enjoy

Sweet Caddy. Love the white. Glad you had a good experience with Vette Drs. Myself and a few friends had some bad times with Carmen when I lived in NY still. We'd NEVER go back.

These cars are monsters and can make big power with just a few mods. Enjoy!

Why? He's not dragging his car, he's not a street racer. IMO keep the drivability the way it is and don't turn your car into a freight train!

Dont think driveability will suffer at all, minus the fact that there is more power on tap lol. It has nothing to do with drag racing or street racing.

Then what does it have to do with exactly......... adding prodigious amounts of power just because?

Congrats my man! I am in westchester county and have a black one with some mods as well. I wanted to take it to Vette Dr's for the headers and some other goodies but it's a trip and I need to make time.

Congrats on it though, white is beautiful and with the mods you must be very happy.

I have to double check but think they installed American racing headers.

Nice. Any check engine lights?


Reason why I ask,..the E67 PCM is very advanced,...and I was told that the O2 sensor bungs were not deep enough in the exhaust tract, and therefore never reading properly, with the aftermarket headers that are available today, for the V series. Normally, tuning something like this(long tubes) on a car it's no big deal but,..from what I have heard, primarily from ONE V tuner,... they're going to "throw codes that can't be edited".

Just curious,...cause I would love to install some long tubes on a couple of cars here as well.

Thanks!

How loud is it with the headers? I just ordered a 9.5" pulley, Upgraded Heat Exchanger, and a tune. I don't think I will do anything else to it though.
