Key Features

- Downpipe-Back Design: Replaces the factory exhaust from the turbo downpipe rearward.

- Installation Hardware: Includes band clamps and exhaust hangers.

Performance Benefits
The larger-diameter tubing is designed to reduce exhaust restriction and support increased exhaust flow compared with the factory system. Depending on the truck's configuration and modifications, changes in exhaust flow may affect backpressure, exhaust gas temperatures, and turbo response.
This system is intended for modified Duramax trucks and race or off-road applications.
Installation Notes
- Moderate installation difficulty.
- Uses factory exhaust hanger locations and the included band clamps.
- Basic hand tools are generally sufficient, although older exhaust hardware may need to be cut or removed.
- Tuning may be required depending on the truck configuration.
- Check wheelbase, bed length, and spare tire clearance before installation.
