- After Current Performance picked up the truck to work some magic, we have it back. With a gas gauge !
I had Nate ( Dr. Tune em ALL) come and tune it and make sure it's dialed in.
The truck runs amazing and is as close to factory as you can get.

Wow, I realize that the Colorado is a 2020, so it's almost brand new, but that LS also looks brand new and the swap is absolutely perfectly clean, so the truck itself looks like it came stock with that engine. Fantastic work!
The truck is a 2020 with 5000 miles, the engine and transmission are LT based and both a 2020 with 32 miles when I bought them.
@@LHTPerformance VERY nice swap choice and it really came out nice and clean!
Take that truck back to Chevy for routine maintenance. They would be tripping out.
That would be funny.
Good to see a V8 in one of these! We own a Colorado too and everytime I do an oil change, I wonder why GM couldn't put an LS V8 in it because there's so much room in the bay with the V6. Kudos on the build!
You guys are always building works of Art. That truck is awesome. That Blue plus the clean look and to finish it all off a V8. Absolutely amazing.
Ive always wanted to do a functional v8 swap on my 2013 impala ltz. Something about the looks of the car, i just wish it had morw beef
Awesome to see Dr Tune em all on LHT so used to seeing him just on Cleets channel
He’s done a couple corvettes for us. He’s a good tuner.
Dr. Tune 'em all, has mad skills...
@@LHTPerformance how much did this run you? Asking because i want to possibly do a lsa swap in the future.
How much was the total spent on this build?
im curious on how expensive it was to do the swap lol
John: Corvette/Camaro NPP mufflers if you want that OEM look with some V8 music. Your going to end up building what I..knew you would. 👍👍👍
Oh wow, exhaust was glowing bright HAHAHA! Sweet!
Those LS engines always surprise me, mpg on the HWY is insane.. my tiny 2.2 4 banger gets the same mpg as this thing 🤣🤣🤣
This truck is so nice, glad its back home and running
also the ford 5.0 Coyote on hwy is a reliable non guzzler for its size. i get 25-29 mpg. 5.3 is such a good engine also
Take notes GM
I have an 18 canyon Denali been wanting to do a 5.3 swap whats a ball park price to do this?
Some of the parts were sponsored. But I would think you could do it for around $12-14k . We don’t offer the swap, but you can get the parts to do it from the links in the description.
Appreciate it have a good source for the engine and trans?
@@jamesmegyesi9476 I found a seller on eBay.
When you restrict an exhaust you're restricting freedom. Give the people freedom John 🙏
Borla s-type sounds clean, and relatively quiet at cruising speeds, then maybe do an electric cutout for some fun.
the yellow towel on the fender gave me an idea... you need some corvette style fender stripes!
You can turn the exhaust right before the factory muffler a side exit with /cut tips, kind of a SVT lightning look and then add a small muffler upstream. I can’t imagine it would take you much effort and would be much cooler than just a rear exit.
We built something similar on my red GMC. Looking for a bolt on quick deal so we don’t have to build one. We have a couple of other builds that need attention

I was just going to say with a V8. I bet you would get better gas mileage. I'll never understand it. It's because they don't do things for gas mileage boys and they make small engines with turbos because it has less cylinders. Polluting and nothing else
I wish they would bring back the 4.8 liter and offer it in a Colorado and it should also be available in the Silverado and Sierras without AFM or DFM and it should only be available in the work truck but they even gave cylinder deactivation to the freaking four three so you know anything they make is going to have it now unfortunately, unless it's heavy duty division
Now what would be cool is to add SS badges on the truck, especially in the middle of the front grille
Borla s type. No drone. Borla Atak would probably be too loud. S type would be the happy medium. That’s what I have on my SS 1 Le
I was just thinking a Magnaflow would work well on the Colorado. A bit of rumble but not tremendously loud. I have a Magnaflow on my LS1 Trans Am and it's only slightly louder than stock at idle, but has a good tone. No drone, but when you jump on it, it does roar some.
Awesome ! Love this truck !
Love this build! Congrats!!
How much to do this to mine
Where can I have mine done? and about how much does it cost.
Current Performance makes most of the parts needed.
Do you have a ballpark on cost just for the ls swap?
If you do the work yourself I’m guessing around $8000-$9000
I see john engine swaps his brand new truck and somehow able to convince the other half to get a Porsche while the truck is getting done. How 😅
I’m laughing because I just knew you wouldn’t keep that stock exhaust. Looking forward to seeing the results.😎😎😎
For the Colorado V8, you should go with headers and fully muffled 3" duals!... or just replace the gigantic OEM muffler and add the resonator.
I would leave it stock exhaust n keep it oem like it was an option from Chevy but thats just me lol
How much would it cost to do from you guys I really want to swap the motor from my truck to a ls
Sorry if I missed it, but did you get dyno numbers with the stock v6?
With the stock wheels 250 whp and 230 tq.
@@LHTPerformance Thanks, I bet that extra 100 lb ft of torque really wakes it up. Nice build!
@@shiftmotorsports9803 It feels great, most of the tq is right off idle too.
What is the total cost u have in this swap and have u though about doing this for some customers that want the swap done in the colorado.
We had some assistance with Sponsorships as mentioned in the video so I don’t have a total cost. This isn’t our regular work and don’t have plans to offer the service at this time.
You need to budget at least $10-12k (minus labor if not doing it yourself) for a swap plus costs if you decide to mod the motor. I'm still in the middle of my swap and that will be about my total with no mods.
This is exactly how this truck should have come off the line
The corsa exhausts are 100% best sounding for that truck
would you say the 6.2 L87 would be the same deal?
We need an update w more details on how you got it right
If you dont mind, what was the total build cost? Im thinking about doing this in my 2017
Much of the parts list was sponsored. The engine and trans was $5200.
build it simple remove the big muffler put in a straight pipe there and connect back the small resonator you cut off, if too loud add a second of the same GM resonator in the straight
That will drone bug time. We’ve been building exhausts for many years but trying avoid it because of time.
You always delete the muffler and keep the resonator, for great sound. Not vice versa.
A muffler and resonator are essentially the same thing, just different placement.
How much would a v8 engine swap in a 2019 canyon cost?
This isn’t something we offer as a service, it maybe on option in the future.
If this truck came with resonators in addition to the restrictive muffler, you'd be surprised how good it sounds putting the resonator back on and deleting the muffler instead. It'll be deeper, but still smooth sounding and likely just the right volume for you. Resonators are straight through, but do quite a bit to control the tone of exhaust and quiet it down a bit, but nothing like a muffler! If you like the smooth, deep tone of a Magnaflow or Borla (both very nice on Chevy LS!), you'll like deleting muffler and keeping resonator/s. A resonator basicly works the same as a small Magnaflow muffler, so It sounds similar, you also gain HP, torque, potential MPG, without spending big $$! Also, if you like the flat torque curve, keep the restrictive existing pipe, it's flattening your torque curve, but sacrificing top-end Horsies. I recommend deleting cats if you can, and heat-wrapping the front part of the exhaust. The wrap works well to boost torque by keeping exhaust gasses hot at low rpms, forcing it to scavenge better. It also keeps underhood temps down, possibly helping power that way too (cooler, denser air going in). Downside to exhaust wrap?, possibly shorter life of exhaust pipe, but I've never had problems.
Changing mufflers and cats are not going turn a V6 into a V8. Lol. Mufflers are sound suppression devices, depending on the position it will help change the frequency, often referred to as a resonator as it’s placement helps with low frequency known as resonance. A modern factory muffler isn’t too restrictive, nor is a cat. I have quite a bit of time under my belt doing this kind of thing.
@@LHTPerformance I agree with you that those simple changes won't turn a V6 into V8, but mufflers and cats ARE restrictive, especially if you're building the engine to make more top-end power. Not restrictive under normal low RPMs, but certainly at top. If you're running a V8 with the old V6 exhaust system, it certainly is restrictive now! The resonators cancel out certain frequencies without restricting exhaust flow. But it seemed to me by your video, you were asking for suggestions to make it SOUND better, and removing muffler certainly will, while picking up a couple horses. You commented on the flat torque curve, and much of that is because your smaller V6 pipes behind a v8 has more restriction at lower rpms (where an engine isn't pushing out as much air), causing more pressure for faster velocity (better exhaust scavenging). Better exhaust scavenging at lazy rpms equates to more torque. But it becomes too restrictive when the engine is pushing out massive quantities of air at high RPMs. With my engineering experience, I find you get the best of both worlds by removing restrictions for high rpm horsepower, but keeping high exhaust velocity possible for more low end torque by not going too big on the pipe, and keeping it as hot as possible.
Use a adjustable exhaust valve thing.. straight pipe when ever you want, quite when you want ecs tunning has a nice option
Adjustable exhaust dump
John, as I recall, that motor is renowned for torque across the powerband. Good choice for your use. Keep the exhaust on the quiet side to surprise people when you jump on the throttle ;)
Yes, even with the heavy wheels and tires and 87 octane it’s peppy
That truck is so cool!
I’m super happy with it now.
What a beautiful build, excellent choice
Wonder what it does in the 1/8mile
What do you do for the transmission?
It’s has a 6 speed trans from the 2020 Silverado the motor was sourced from.
@@LHTPerformancestock transmission from the Colorado or is a Silverado bro?
@@xxkaiserxx2505 Silverado . Bro
Corsa exhaust
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Colorado also come with a 4.8 at one point in time? I'm almost certain that my old boss's dad had a fully loaded 4.8 Colorado.
The second generation Colorado came with a 4 cylinder gas motor, a Diesel 4 cylinder and the V6 3,6L.
@@LHTPerformance Was it the first generation that came with a 5 cylinder?
@@Brock_Landers Yes. George had one. 3.5L.
You are partially correct... the end of the 1st gen (one with the 5cyl) you could get an optional V8, but it was the 5.3l. Kinda rare, but I'd love to have one! I have that engine in my Envoy XL (same platform, but SUV), and it scoots. BTW, the later of the 1st gen Colorados got bigger base and mid level engine's too. The 4cyl went from 2.8 to 2.9l if I remember correctly. The 5cyl became a 3.7l with about a 20hp bump and more (much needed) torque.
I hope they added the 8 speed that came with the 5.3.
They purposely persuaded a 6 Speed as the 8 speed has issues.
Cherry bombs!! Lol love to see the truck back and Dr. Tune em all working his magic! Keep on keepin on brother! 🤙🏼🤙🏼💪🏼💪🏼
No cherry bombs for me. Lol.
@@LHTPerformance 😅
I have a 2016 Canyon with a manual transmission that was only available with a 4-cylinder engine. I couldn't hear the engine and had to look at the Tach to know when to shift. I replaced the stock muffler with a Cherrybomb Vortex and now it sounds more aggressive.
What trans is in it?
It’s a 6 speed

Time for a Ticon exhaust
The problem is, no time to build one. Lol.
That Jared guy is a stud!!
Lol. He is.
I may have missed it but which V8 did you use?
2020 Silverado motor and trans.
5.3 or 6.2?
That bridge bounce though.
You ever go over the Bay Side bridge ? It’s awful and bounces everything.
I drive north over it every day I work. I really like how it’s just 1/3 of it, then it smooths out completely.
@@bigfoot286 lol. Yea.
