Attention
A 2022 Cummins Tune Package was added to your cart. This tune is a beta tune that may cause the following:
- Low power
- Poor fuel mileage
- Engine codes that may appear
- Poor shifting characteristics
For a tested and proven tune, please view our Ram Cummins 6.7L All-in-One DPF/DEF/EGR Delete Kit w/ECM Swap (2022-2024)
Overview
The L5P high-flow up-pipes are a direct replacement for the restrictive factory units, designed to increase exhaust flow and reduce back pressure on 2017–2024 6.6L Duramax engines. Built from heavy-gauge stainless steel with a larger internal diameter, they support improved exhaust velocity and lower EGTs while retaining emissions-compliant operation.
Compatibility
- Years: 2017-2024
- Makes: Chevrolet, GMC
- Models: Silverado 2500HD / 3500HD, Sierra 2500HD / 3500HD
- Engine: 6.6L Duramax L5P Diesel

| Gaskets Included | 301 stainless steel gaskets |
| Fitment Type | OEM-length direct replacement |
Key Features & Build Details
- 46% Increased Flow Area – Larger internal diameter reduces restriction compared to factory up-pipes, improving exhaust gas movement.
- 11-Gauge 304 Stainless Construction – Thick-wall stainless steel resists cracking, corrosion and heat fatigue under sustained load.
- Internally-Sleeved Bellows – Reinforced bellows design adds durability by preventing over-expansion and premature failure common in OEM designs.
- OEM-Length Design – Maintains factory routing and fitment for a true bolt-on installation without modification.
- Stainless Steel Gaskets Included – 301 stainless gaskets provide reliable sealing under high heat and pressure conditions.
Performance Benefits
- Reduces Exhaust Backpressure – Increased flow area allows exhaust gases to exit more efficiently, improving overall engine breathing.
- Helps Lower EGTs – Improved exhaust flow reduces heat buildup under load, beneficial for towing and tuned applications.
- Improves Turbo Efficiency – Smoother exhaust delivery to the turbo supports more consistent spool and response.
- Maintains Emissions Compliance – Designed to work with factory emissions systems without triggering issues.
- Increases System Durability – Heavy-duty materials and reinforced bellows reduce the risk of failure over time.
Installation Notes
Direct bolt-on replacement using factory mounting points. Installation requires removal of factory up-pipes and access to the turbo area; professional installation recommended due to tight engine bay clearances.
