  • I dont like the idle and the low rpms but when it took off I came......everywhere...

  • Sounds fantastic, however, are you losing some torque with the lack of back pressure? Does sound fantastic though......but, probably a bit loud for me!. Something a little more subtle would suit me down to the ground....I love the CTS, but love the engine just as much. Over here, we have the same engine in the Vauxhall VXR 8 (Holden Clubsport R8, basically).

  • Every time I see a CTS-V video, a huge grin appears on my face and I begin to day dream... damn I need one of these!

  • Is this a LS6 or LS2 cts-v? I have a LS2 GTO with kooks headers, no cats, and cutouts and sounds almost identical to this with the cutouts open.

  • @YOUHAVENOFRIENDSFOOL LSA actually

  • @zeekdavis11 LS6 actually.

  • @jonridge ..no the specific engine in a ctsv is a LSA the ls6 is N/A

  • @zeekdavis11 You do realize that this is my car in the video, right? This is an 04 CTSV with an LS6.

  • @zeekdavis11 your an idiot, this is a first gen. first gens had either an ls2 or ls6 they didnt put the SC version 6.2L LSA in the ctsv until 09

  • @21SmokenKush21 This video has been on youtube longer than the LSA has even existed.

  • @jonridge ik, IMO the new ctsv's are pretty ugly....the wagon....yuck

  • Eh, sounds like a truck. Would be better fitting if it were a truck or a muscle car.

  • @coolnatt - But sounds good.

  • this is offically my new favorite cadillac.

  • Sick car, I love those CTSV's, absolute BEASTS! Wish I could afford one..for now my Corolla will have to do haha!

    And ignore the haters. They can't appreciate a nice ride.

  • That right there, is one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard!!!

  • If you ever have to sell this car, tell me. I WANT IT !! Nice ride dude!

  • Gorgeous car man...are those the stock 18"s?

  • @PardnTheInterruption

    Yeah. I had them chromed.

  • lmfao that sounds like my Z28 xD , I want open headers!! =P

  • dang that thing sound like a truck! nice car man

  • wish they paid enlisted people more, i would love to have one of these.

  • Sounds aweful for a Caddie ... Takes the value off the look .. 500hp is for luxury power not racing - the torque on the higher gears is slow .. So this power is for luxury power .. It is the Boeing 777 of Cars !!!

  • @4nathanscomcastnet Why do you keep talking about "Luxury Power"? You just sound dumb saying that, any LS series motor is not continued luxury? its considered mean. They put the motor in a LUXURY car.

  • @4nathanscomcastnet What the hell is luxury power? This 400hp CTS-V was made into a race spec car for the SCCA, look it up. Then they re-entered the SCCA with the new 556hp Coupe, which had to be DE-tuned for racing specs, and then all of a couple weeks ago won the Pirelli WC SCCA in first place with driver Johnny O'Connel. I think you need to take a step back and learn before you talk. Take a drive in any of these cars and you'd be surprised.

  • did u get any power gains with open headers?

  • @mfarmakas17

    I just did this over the weekend while I was waiting on an exhaust shop to open up on Monday.

  • @jonridge - Weren't you scared of messing up exhaust valves?

  • @IPGAuto

    I don't know of anyone personally that has burnt a valve running open headers.

  • @jonridge - Im trying to find out if its just bs. Cause some call the whole back pressure a myth and others say it isn't. They said due to lack of back pressure it can mess up valves.

  • @IPGAuto he still has header pipes on it. there's going to be some pressure

  • In 2000 if someone had asked me if I would ever buy a Cadillac CTS I would have rofled all over the place. But here we are, 2011 and wouldn't you know it, I would love one.

  • why? such a beautiful luxury sports car. its not supposed to sound like a harley. at least i dont think thats how cadillac markets ANY of their vehicles. perhalps i am wrong.

  • @taymac1112 you dont make a car with a v8 and supercharge it to drive around like a grandpa. lol this car is built for performance.

  • @taymac1112 to be unique its not everyday you see and hear a loud caddy

  • sounds mean!

  • thats retarded 

  • That just gave me a boner. So now i need to get one with no headers so i can have more boners!! lol

  • Sounds VERY NICE! Dont listen to the haters.....

  • Isn't open headers bad for the car and performance?

  • @tyIerz06 ummm no it makes your engine breathe better more air in and out faster more power and sound

  • Damn! that sounds like a mud bogger!

  • That....is...fuckin...badass.

  • haha this is the most badass Caddy owner ive ever seen..HELL YEAH!!

  • thats one bad bitch. is it loud in the cockpit?

  • nice car dude sounds good and its got style,  has that whole nascar sound i like it

  • I have the V Coupe. It took a while to get the right amount of attitude without making the car sound like an old Camaro. JBA headers into high flow cats into a Magnaflow X pipe cat back worked best for me.

  • @MrUltraworld

    I personally think that Magnaflow sounds horrible. It was too quiet for me with cats and without cats all you could hear was the rasp and not the sound of the engine. I've had the same experience on this car with their x-pipe and my other car with a y-pipe.

  • Wow there are a lot of haters on this vid.

    FUck 'em man, you're driving a Caddy... They are either a.) riding a bicycle and can't even afford to eat lunch or b.) have their mommy's drive them everywhere....

    your chick knows how to drive that stick well, wish mine could fuckin learn to drive my Camaro... the LS3 is too much for her lol

  • @kushnugz

    Thanks for reading my shit before posting.

  • That sounds doesn't go well with the CTSV!

  • Flowmaster super 40s. Nuff said

  • Dont stress these guys sounds great man

  • i know im seeing a caddy but im hearing a track corvette lol

  • Sounds very good, but wish you went WOT.

  • @Thawolf878

    I had taken it down the road prior to this video just to make sure everything was right from just having put the headers on and when I went WOT I almost went off the road. So since my girlfriend was driving in the video and the road is very wet, I felt it was best not to have her do that.

  • @jonridge Oh smart, didn't realize the roads were wet. Props for letting your GF drive your V, lol I would never let mine drive my C6

  • @Thawolf878 on a wet day?

  • I think it sounds great. Unlike a ricer a Cadillac can sound great and back it up with power.

  • every car should sound like this

  • sounds and looks useless...

  • @dunti21

    Feel free to post some videos of whatever it is that you drive. I would love to hate on your car.

  • Well in case you had any illusion's about being cool... I wanted to let you in on why people you pass by laugh and wiggle their pinkies at you.  Just doing you a solid. At least you don't have chrome wheels..

  • You just made the ultimate douche moblie that much more douchey. Well done

  • @hunkgod

    Thanks, mate.

  • My balls itch

  • @crwaller37

    Are you from Randleman?

  • this just ruined open headers for all muscle cars

  • nope no northstar has a supercharged LSA pretty much same as the ZR1 LS9 but detuned

  • @injeneclipse2

    This one has an LS6.

  • @injeneclipse2 Not a detuned LS9... Different internals,blower,intercoolers,­oiling system... not a detuned LS9 at all....

  • @CheatinChad i was going to mention that the LSA and LS9 are different too, but you beat me to the punch ;) i believe they "share" the same short block, but have a completely different heads,cam, intake, and supercharger. LSA has a 1.9L huffer rather than the LS9's 2.3L unit...just a little food for thought. :)

  • LS9= Ti rods by Pankl (HIGH END connecting rod manufacturer). Twin Behr AtoW intercoolers,Forged Pistons (2618 or similar alloy) 11 rib supercharger drive system,(semi)Dry Sump oiling system,etc,etc,...All the things I've listed plus a few more things differ from the LSA.

    even though they are the same displacement and both have superchargers there is more different than the same when you look at the details.

  • @CheatinChad agreed.

  • that car sound like a truck those header making it sound like shit

  • Sounds fkin Powerful but it doesnt go with the car, i see that car as a Luxury car?

  • im not hating on a Northstar V8 but that thing sounds like hell! put the stock set up on it!

  • @hustl3muscl3 You can hate on a northstar all you want. This isn't one.

  • damn !!!!

  • this shit is stupid for tht gay ass car

  • @Kalladrin

    that last sentence gave me goosebumps lol. well said.

  • sound doesn't match the car...i'm all for a sickly loud car but if i hear that sound, thinking it's a muscle of some sort and turn around to see a cts-v...nahh...sorry...sounds great, looks great, both together it's very odd...

  • Sounds like a derby car at an idle. Mean.

  • person in the other car must have almost died when u drove by them haha

  • sounds nice

  • More like, the pedals to the floor retard.

  • @eagle16nam

    If you really believe that, then you really are a retard.

  • @eagle16nam dumbass that car would be all over the fucken road if he put the pedal to the floor..

  • @eagle16nam Check out his other video to see this car at pedal to the floor bc that wasn't, remember we talking about cadillacs here, keep up the good work @jonridge!!

  • Its making all that noise , but its barely moving .

  • @eagle16nam

    it's half throttle, retard.

  • @jonridge

    who ever doesn't belive it half throttle is a fuken retard.

    Like he said 4500rpms, the reason it seems like hes pushing it.. is the fact its running an open header... it makes a splutter sound as soon as he lifts off the pedal at any rpm.

  • @eagle16nam Take the exhaust off of your mom's minivan, and it will probably about as loud as this.

    ;-)

  • @eagle16nam yeah but not bad for a hevy car big caddy lol if you want a performance car buy somthing with 2 doors not 4 and a full size trunk 

  • @ASCmustang88 the cts-v has very respectable weight for its class

  • @ASCmustang88 Depends on what CTS-V this is but the newer ones are pretty freakin beast and F/I, the older ones are a 6.0L so either way the car could weigh as much as a freight train and still have raw power. Not to Mention they dont wiegh too differently from the 2004-2006 GTO's and thats a 2-door and beast... so weight really isn't an issue unless your looking for Traps and 1/4 Mile ET's

  • @eagle16nam ....do you know what a cts ... V is?

  • makes no sense 2me

  • that sound doesnt fit the car lol like you wouldnt expect that sound from that car. nice car though!!

  • holy shit that sounds like an old fucking car -.-, why people does this things to such of beautiful cars

  • have fun replacing your burnt valves buddy

  • That's not your grandpas caddy!!

  • screw catalytic converters and all that junk loud pipes really do save lives, like when im doing 60 in a residential area kids hurry the hell up and get off the street waheyy sooner than later i love it:)

  • screw emmisions and the epa! im in love with a caddy for once!

  • sounds like it belongs on davidsfarm...

  • that's a good way to mess up your valves

  • it sounded gay till you pulled away then it sounded amazing.

  • Look at the world ice map yea ice is melting at the caps but new ice is forming in other spots.

  • Curtmaster3001 shut the fuck up as u can tell the government done fucked everything up already y not just have fun while u can!

  • @HighCardWins...........Your an idiot

  • it is hurting the environment so microscopicly it doesnt even matter this is still better then running a 60's car down the road. and noone buys a high performance car for fuel efficiecy you buy it for performance. if you want gas milage and performance then you get a diesel, if you just want fuel milage drive a prius. if you think your gonna save the earth by putting catylatic converters on cars is going to save it then you should think about it. cats help but not as much as youd like to think

  • sounds like a old school muscle car... wonder how straight pipes would sound lol

  • fucking Frankenstein caddy

  • this aint your grannys caddy!

  • strange to hear out of a Caddy, thats for sure. I coulda sworn the video is shot from the inside of a C10 with open headers...lol jk. sounds good though

  • I'm all for the saving of the earth's natural environment, keeping emissions down, getting damn good gas mileage while finding an alternative to gas, being a "safe" driver and all that. But, just every once in a while, i take my blown, uncorked '78 firebird out (only on the weekends) and blow my accumulated karmic paycheck all over the pavement. No matter how fast or agile alternative fuel cars get, they will NEVER rival the brutal, violent, pure and raw roar of a gas guzzling muscle car.

  • @Kalladrin best commet on youtube ive ever read.

  • @Kalladrin The Firebird is technically a pony, but amen to what you said nonetheless!

  • @Kalladrin Im normaliy against hippies but you sir are one exception :)

  • @Kalladrin

    or even a '78 firebird...

  • Bye bye compression

  • @mikerepmo huh?

  • hope you didnt leave it like that for long..thats hell on evalves and all you sensors not getting reading...lean rich...with these new computer cars you can mess em up quick like that...just saying....does sound decent for opens tho

  • that thing sounds dirty

  • surprising good sounding. most sound like shit!

  • u left the whole exhaust system on, just didnt cnnect it right? judging by seein exhaust tips

  • that is one sick caddy bro, sounds like the zo6

  • @SativaSalivaIndica same motor just different tunes...

  • GRANDPA?!

  • we dont have inspections where i come from. the louder, dirtier, and worse for the environment the better

  • Nice!

  • Never thought a post-1990 Cadillac could make that sound.

  • @doomsk8er it has an ls6 in it, the same engine that came in the c5 z06. it does sound strange coming from a cadillac though, but strange in a really awesome way!

  • Love it dude, your the man..

  • glad some one has the ballz to do some science experiments with there daily drivers : ) 

  • fuk yea lol

  • The car coming the other way saw the Caddy, heard the exaust, then became confused. : )

  • beautiful sound lol

  • Sounds great!

  • What is this... I don't even...

  • thats trippy to see a luxury car sounds so sick haha

  • sounds sweet dude

  • that things sounds like a bar b cue baby back bitch lmao. heard louder.

  • slow

  • Are you fucking serious? I'd seen a CTS-V with a turbo behind the bumper, but a CTS-V that sounds like a fucking monster compaired to a stock 2011 Mustang GT!!!

    That's insane, this is by FAR thee best Cadillac that I've ever heard. I wateched this vid about 18 times just to hear it.

  • hell yeahh. cadillacs are suppose to be quite........ I LOVE IT! i think im going to go get some headers for my moms and take her exhaust off. sooo when she goes to work it will scare the shit out of the neighbors. hahaha

  • thats a mean freakin caddy!

  • I cant take it in...... A sound so beasty coming out of this car... Sounds good....

  • Did anyone see that Nissan Altima at 0:27?

  • you probubly have loads of backpressure. not.

  • beast!!!!!1  sick car bro

  • Surprisingly nice sounding.

  • all out fuckin bad ass

  • Good luck getting an inspection sticker with that.

  • @HighCardWins

    Well this video was 3 years ago. You think I haven't had it inspected? It does help to know people.

  • @jonridge Don't get caught.

  • @jonridge SUCK A DICK YOU PIECE OF SHIT! JK sweet ride! 400hp must be fun!

  • who gives  a shit about inspection (obvi needed for street legal) BUT that fucker is BAD ASS!!!

  • @HighCardWins In NYC, you pay $34 to pass inspection legally. You pay $70 to pass inspection when you fail. LOL

  • @HighCardWins not every state requires a inspection sticker. Here in Kansas all the look at is the vin number, what size engine, and how many miles. Thats it

  • @67ShelbyMustang500 I guess if you believe global warming is just a hoax it would be OK to pump raw fuel vapors into the air. No one seems to care about that. The cats are there for a reason, you know.

    I love performance cars, but if you want to run no cats, you should reprogram your car to use E100. It burns clean.

  • @HighCardWins who gives a fuck about global warming we are all going to die sooner or later. Why not enjoy life while we can. You must be a tree hugging hippie from Californa and this is gonna make you really happy. My 94 Cobra gets 8 mpg and I love the smell of gas burning through my engine.

  • @67ShelbyMustang500 I do, so do many other people. Your great grandchildren surely will. They may not have world to live in with people having your type of attitude towards the environment.

    Proof of your ignorance: "You must be a tree hugging hippie from Californa." No, I live in Louisiana and inhaling raw gasoline vapors kills brain cells, friend.

  • @HighCardWins i dont believe in global warming. i mean if there wasnt a such thing then we would stilll be in a ice age right now and none of us would be alive. cataltyc converters pull the big stuff out of the exhaust but little stuff is still comeing out and thats what goes up into the air. a catylatic converter is the most restrictive thing in the exhaust. this ne guy doing this isnt gonna hurt anything. oh and my friends 70 bronco gets about 6 mpg :)

  • @curtmaster3001 Modern humans have been around 250k yrs , we have lived through a few ice ages. Man-made global warming is happening. That is the scientific concensus. You may need to read something on the subject. Running no cats is hurting the enviornment.

  • @HighCardWins yeah well i dont wanna live through an ice age, and a 80 degree day in southern california an the middle of summer is not what i call global warming. usually at that time its around 105-112. the environment has survived way worse and repaired is self. its really no big deal that guy is still probly getting about 15 mpg or more

  • @curtmaster3001 The ice caps are melting. There won't be a California if this continues. I care about future generations. You can have high performance cars and not destroy the enviornment. That's my main point.

  • @HighCardWins your so full of shit.its not hurting shit dude.i cut cats off ever car i get and nobodys said anything

  • @rpmlovessnm Maybe you live under a rock, but global warming has been proven to be a direct result of industrialization and human activity. This woulde include running our cars with no cats and pumping raw fuel into the air. I love performance cars and I think it's possible not be idiots, Dude. It is illegal to cut your cats off your car.

  • @HighCardWins dude ur a bitch. if your bitching bout no cats and shit then why did u sit here and watch a video bout open headers? u had to of looked it up to find it. u ppl make no cents to me. now dnt tell me shit i already know. i know its illegal but i dnt give a fuck. what u guna do call the cops on me. id like to see that. now stop bitching bout other ppl and deal with your own shit. get it? got it? good. peace out

  • @rpmlovessnm "u ppl make no cents to me." Maybe you shouldn't have dropped out of the 5th grade, illiterate asshole. No wonder you don't care about anything, you're fucking dumb trash.

  • @HighCardWins lol get the fuck on with life dude. i did. and yea i did drop out of school but i can fix a car like its nothing. i can also fix ur gurl like its nothing. alright im done and moving on wit life see ya

  • @HighCardWins god your an idiot global warming is a global hoax 1; not many cops even know what a cat is or where they can find it 2: the planet goes through natural cycles stop living in the damn moment 3: its also ileagal to go over the speed limit but who the heck gets a v8 and never takes it over 70

  • @jd hinds1234 Do you also believe man lived with dinosaurs? Global warming is a fact. Sorry you're to ignorant to know this. You have the internet, use it.

    1: true, but many states do emission testing.

    2: Yes, but the data proves man is the cause of the recent global warming. You won't live forever, so your great grandchildren must live in a dying Earth b/c their grandparents weren't educated and ignorant of science.

    3: Irrelevant

  • @HighCardWins I have really stopped caring about global warming, nobody is going to have a joint effort to reduce pollution, especially in a shithole like China

  • @44Italia44 From what I've heard China's government is committed to fighting global warming also. They are going to sell us the technology they invent. To many science deniers in the U.S. Some people in the U.S. are ignorant that global warming is indeed a fact and happening. We need innovations, not continued denial.

  • @HighCardWins in ohio forsure you dont need a inspection
