CTSM07 Channel Video Updates You like restoration videos? You like V1's? Well then this video is for you!
Come along for this photographic journey of restoration and rejuVination. In part 1, I recap how in 2019 I came across what was my college dream car. It was many states away at an auction, LS2 black on black and the price was right however it needed a lot of love. Additionally having owned a few CTSs, I've always wanted to build a first gen CTS-V from the ground up to my taste. This was the best opportunity to do that.
Hope you enjoy this relaxing recap. Stay tuned for part 2, in which I will show all the performance modifications / work I did to the car after it was up and running at the end of part 1.

These videos require a lot of effort. If you like this content, then why not support my channel with a thumbs-up and a subscription? It would be appreciated!
After restoring this V1 in part 1, I challenged myself to build this LS car up while keeping it NA, all while sounding & looking as if GM had built it themselves, a true classy sleeper.
It must still deliver a significant performance upgrade over stock without compromising comfort and ride quality in any noticeable way, hope you enjoy part 2!
The second restoration episode is quiet long and covers the whole build process.
If you just care to see the finished product you can forward to to 12:14 of the restoration video.
Or you can check out this shorter video below on my channel as well which just shows the finished car.

2007 Cadillac CTS-V - Best V1 No Compromise DIY Full Exhaust What's the best bang for the buck V1 exhaust you can build?
I regularly see V1 exhaust questions, but let's face it, a lot of the V1 parts are old now and prone to failure & new catback systems are very pricey.
In this video I share how for 1/4 the cost of V1 catback systems you could do this yourself with new quality parts.

NO DRONE, NO PERFORMANCE LOSS & LOW COST
