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

Introduction
This L5P downpipe is a 3.5' turbo direct downpipe made for 2017-2026 GM Duramax 6.6L L5P pickup trucks. It bolts directly to the turbocharger and replaces the factory downpipe that contains the DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) filter.
Removing the DOC right after the turbo allows exhaust gases to flow out faster. This helps the turbo spool quicker, reduces exhaust restriction and improves overall engine performance. This downpipe is commonly used on off-road and competition trucks where maximum exhaust flow is needed.

Why an L5P Downpipe Replaces the Factory DOC
On GM L5P Duramax engines, the DOC is positioned immediately after the turbocharger. While necessary for emissions compliance, it creates a major restriction in the exhaust path. Installing an aftermarket L5P downpipe is the primary method to remove this restriction at its source.
A larger 3.5' Duramax down pipe allows exhaust gases to exit the turbo more efficiently, reducing backpressure while improving throttle response, turbo sound and engine efficiency. This modification is commonly performed as part of a complete L5P delete exhaust system intended for off-road or competition use.
Because the DOC is an emissions-controlled component, professional custom tuning is required after installation to prevent check engine lights and ensure proper engine operation. This product is not emissions compliant and is not legal for street-driven vehicles.
