Idatalink only works with single wire GMLAN. I have been recording the stock radio's Class 2 messages and been experimenting with a Raspberry PI 4 to mimic the messages. That Raspberry may make a good car radio yet; has more computational power than all the modules in the XLR combined.

This is NOT my area of expertise, but I went with wider back wheels ( staggered: I think they are 315s now) and I get less wheel hop and waddle (side to side movement) on the road.

Corsa exhaust system: Around $2200 to purchase, another $400 to $500 to install, if you can't do it yourself*. Almost 3K, after the fat lady sings. Yea great, just wonderful....go for it.

It's not off a Z06; my mistake. Just stock 2009 and later Corvette C6 x-pipe. Used to be a lot cheaper.... but like all things.

Drone sucks, but a little drone happens if you want open pipes. ~70 dB (A weighted) is acceptable. Also, Corsa put their resonators in the wrong place; too close to the headers. I never saw Corsa proudly showing off their company XLR; their too busy working with Corvettes. That's were they put...

That's not it. That's some old crap.

The X pipe is too far from the headers and not sized right. The best X pipe is the GM design off a Corvette C6 Z06; they know what they are doing. The front half fits perfectly on an XLR; used around $250. Baffles screw up the exhaust flow. Corsa is for people who can't weld.

Overpriced and screwed up the X pipe design.

Yea, you are right. I saw 4200 lbs on the door tag, but that's total acceptable weight with fat lady riding shotgun.

When you fill-up at the gas station be thankful the XLR is mostly fiberglass and not sheet metal. The EVOQ was pushing 5000 lbs.

Some interesting mods on your XLR. I like the pinstrip going across the side.

I believe so. All the capabilities of Tech 2 are available on the Tech2Win software.

Yup, that be me. A really good product but absolutely no support from the manufacturer; that's why I don't recomend it here. Software came on a mini CD-ROM disk(couldn't get my drive to read it). I had to find the software on the manufacturer's chinese website, didn't have the Tech2Win. Found a...

ACDelco's TIS online website still accepts the use of a Tech 2 for programming modules, but you will need a certified serial to USB adapter from the Tech 2 to the computer. Serial communications are slooow. AN MDS plugs directly into the computer USB port and communicates 3x faster. If all you...

New Tech 2s cost over two grand ten years ago with the GMLAN adaptor. Dealerships save money by using older technology for diagnostics.

Your absolutely right, but it is so nice to do diagnostic work on a laptop (the screen resolution is way better) and you can screen snapshot the car data and post online to other techs.

A good link; that's it. It's a Chinese copy so check the return policy if it doesn't work out.

The ways: Subcribe to TIS and pay them $99 a year to rent Tech2Win software or click on 05 Drand Daddy's link above and buy: V2019.07 GM MDI GM MDI 2 GDS2 gds tech 2 software Sata HDD for Vauxhall Opel/Buick and Chevrolet (it includes the tech2Win, the XLR can not use the other software 2010+...

Yea, the stock mufflers are way two heavy. Get rid of them and your vehicle will go faster and use less fuel, IF you do it right. I am pretty good with TIG welding stainless steel. I'm using a Corvette X pipe, then some Vibrants in parallel, followed by two Magnaflows in parallel, with some...

Isn't that where the "Eyes Wide Shut," orgy was filmed.
