just an FYI - Magnaflow makes after-market cats that are less expensive than the OE versions...

There's some discussion in the Facebook group about someone doing re-pops of the lights... everyone is waiting to see how that pans out To answer your question - the 06 and up were "fixed" and I think GM used different plastic in the lens to prevent melting in the newer version. Additionally -...

You can see my install post here: https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/threads/vette-z06-brakes-installed-photos.3811/

Yes - that kit will work... I had the same brakes on my 06 V for awhile before I sold them and upgraded to an even larger kit. But - you will need different wheels as the calipers are large and won't fit behind the OEM V wheels.

In my experience with GM cars - a start-then-immediate-stall suggests a security issue. The thread I posted from the corvette forum says that the software security key programmed into the ECM has to match the BCM for the car to run. (software security key not the same as the actual key fob) I...

Sounds like you need a bench harness... I have one for the ECM.. my guess is that youl'll have to get one for the BCM as well... Basically you pull the ECM out along with the BCM... hook up the bench harnesses to 12vdc and program both the BCM and ECM out of the car. I had done this with a...

I have not had to deal with this particular problem you have... but from year of following the XLR forums, i suspect you have an intake or vacuum leak somewhere. Its introducing un-metered air into the system and causing a lean condition. Many of the vacuum lines and such are plastic and they...

I've removed mine on jack stands in my driveway and installed headers.... it can be done... it will take awhile and you will be sore afterwards... but it can be done. I think it took me 4 or 5 hours just for one side. I've actually done it twice, the 2nd time I pulled the headers out to wrap...

This is the most expensive option, but OPGI has them as well https://www.opgi.com/gaskets-seals/weatherstrip-seals/radiator-support/support-radiator-2004-2009-cadillac-xlr-lower-cradle-c187606.html

Interesting... my 06 V has 38k miles on it and I've had to change out 2 of the coils this year... I wonder if they just age with time?

My XLR-V is the only car I own that needs a battery tender if sitting more than a couple of weeks... at first I thought something was wrong, but this seems to a common thing among all XLR owners... I'm the first an only owner of my car, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it... it just...

Thats hysterical :D I have a box of Avalon King coating sitting in my garage, but I have been terrified to put it on until I get the base paint "just right"... so I haven't had the time to work on it... but I guess your comment makes me think I'm doing the right thing to wait until I have time...

I don't have any experience with that particular battery maintainer... but I have about 6 CTEK units for various cars and they have never killed a single one of my batteries, and have brought many of them back to life... CTEK is the OE manufacturer for all the car brands... in fact they make...

I do not have any answers to your specific questions... but one thing to consider is cabin drone when you remove the mufflers... something to consider.

I had one... I took it off after 6 months... I was scraping it everywhere... I almost broke the entire thing off when parking once and it hit a parking block. And in the Houston area, they pretty much stopped giving tickets for missing plates unless you are pulled over for some other...

This is not true... SiriusXM now makes one single SKU of tuner for all "SiriusXM Ready" stereos and they are all the same for all makes and models of aftermarket radios: model SXV300 Only older generation radios need vendor specific xm tuners - but they haven't been made in a few years...

Correct - You cant use the OEM receiver- you have to buy a new one... its like $40 or something. You can use the OEM antennas, but the connector is behind the storage compartment between the seats - so unless you locate the new tuner where the OEM tuner is, it'll be difficult to get the antenna...

I did all the work myself so I know you don't need to keep the original radio, nor need a new amp.... if the installer says its not possible you need to find a different shop Good luck

I'm not going to debate the differences in the actual lengths of the shocks... but the ride height is controlled by the leaf springs and the adjuster bolts on the ends of them.. You can completely remove the shocks, put the XLR on the ground, and the ride height will not be affected by the...
