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.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these up-pipes fit stock L5P turbo setups?
Yes. These are OEM-length replacements designed to fit factory turbo and exhaust manifold connections.
Will these up-pipes trigger any check engine lights?
No. They are designed to maintain compatibility with factory emissions systems and sensors.
How do these compare to factory up-pipes?
They offer a 46% increase in flow area along with stronger materials and reinforced bellows, addressing common OEM restriction and durability issues.
Are gaskets included with the kit?
Yes. The kit includes 301 stainless steel gaskets for proper sealing during installation.
Are these suitable for tuned or high-load applications?
Yes. The increased flow and heat-resistant construction are designed to handle higher exhaust temperatures and pressures.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 195 reviews.
Exhaust was too short, customer service eventually just quit responding after sending picture after picture of it being too short. The exhaust rubs on the transmission hanger bracket so I had to remove and cut that down. I would not buy this kit unless you want to spend extra time modifying it.
Tuner depot was very helpful I thought I screwed up on the tune part and flashing the ecm but there customer service told me I didn’t mess it up and helped me through it but one thing for sure is nothing to do with tuner depot but no one every tells you on a first time doing one of these trucks the amount of hours it takes it took me almost 30 hours which if I had the right tools and confidence I could of probably cut it down to about 20 but kit works great it’s got awesome power now and I’ll be doing the down pipe very soon to I highly recommend just buying it and getting it over with because the truck is still very quiet almost like it’s a notch above stock
Just got them installed on my truck yesterday and cannot believe the increase in performance! Can’t wait to take it on a road trip already see more power increase and fuel mileage. Unbelievable would do it again tomorrow!
I purchased the efi live sotf tunes along with Dpf delete kit, dpf was good quality, tuner worked with me and not only sent my autocal loaded with a sotf tune but also sent me a few single tunes to use until I installed the switch, the only negative was that 130hp was the max power tune single or switch on the fly, but over all I was pretty happy and service was very good throughout.
Delete kit was as it should be, only thing I’d say is the hardware is cheap and should come with bolts that can withstand heat so if a person ever had to remove them they won’t break. Also they don’t volunteer install directions which are super nice to have if you’ve never done one of these. I had to ask several times for the delete, ez lynk, and cam buss plug directions.
