Overview

This GM Duramax L5P Cat & DPF Delete Pipe is designed to replace the restrictive factory emissions section on 2017–2026 6.6L Duramax pickup trucks. By removing the catalytic converter and DPF assembly, this Duramax L5P delete pipe allows exhaust gases to exit the turbocharger with significantly less restriction. The result is improved exhaust flow, reduced backpressure, and a cleaner path for performance-oriented tuning applications.

  • Years: 2017–2026
  • Makes: Chevrolet, GMC
  • Models: Silverado 2500HD, Silverado 3500HD, Sierra 2500HD, Sierra 3500HD

Key Features & Build Details

  • 4' Mandrel-Bent Exhaust Tubing – Maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout the pipe to reduce turbulence and improve overall exhaust gas evacuation from the turbo.
  • Dual Stainless Steel Material Options – Available in T-304 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance or T-409 stainless steel for a more economical option while still maintaining durability.
  • Direct Replacement Design – Built to replace the factory catalytic converter and DPF section, maintaining proper routing under the truck while using OEM hanger locations.
  • Full Emissions Section Removal – Eliminates the restrictive catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter assembly commonly known to create exhaust backpressure on tuned trucks.

Performance Benefits

  • Reduced Exhaust Backpressure – Removing the factory DPF and catalytic converter significantly improves exhaust flow, helping the turbo operate more efficiently.
  • Improved Turbo Response – Less restriction after the turbo allows exhaust gases to exit faster, which can help improve turbo spool characteristics.
  • Lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures – Improved exhaust flow can help stabilize EGT levels during heavy load or towing situations when paired with proper tuning.
  • Supports Performance Tuning – Provides the necessary exhaust configuration required for off-road race tuning on L5P Duramax trucks.

Installation Notes

Direct-fit exhaust section designed to replace the factory catalytic converter and DPF assembly. Installs using standard exhaust tools and factory mounting locations. Professional installation is recommended, and ECM tuning is required to prevent emissions-related fault codes after installation.


Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a 2019 or 2024 L5P Duramax truck?

Yes. This pipe fits 2017–2026 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD pickup trucks equipped with the 6.6L L5P Duramax engine.

Does this fit Cab & Chassis trucks like the 3500HD, 4500 or 5500?

No. Cab & Chassis trucks use a different exhaust configuration. This pipe is designed specifically for pickup models only.

What is the difference between T-304 and T-409 stainless steel?

T-304 stainless offers higher corrosion resistance and is preferred for trucks operating in wet or salted environments. T-409 stainless is more cost-effective while still providing solid durability for normal use.

Is tuning required after installing this pipe?

Yes. Since this pipe removes the factory emissions components, proper ECU tuning is required to prevent check engine lights and ensure correct engine operation.

Does the kit include hardware?

The pipe is designed to integrate with factory mounting points and exhaust hangers. Installation typically reuses factory clamps and mounting locations depending on the existing exhaust configuration.

Customer photo review of 6.6L Duramax L5P CAT & DPF Delete Pipe | 2017–2026 GMC/Chevy

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.

Customer photo review of GM Duramax L5P All-In-One DPF/DEF/EGR Delete Kit (2017-2025)

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

Customer photo review of GM Duramax L5P Cat & DPF Delete Pipe (2017-2025)

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.

GM Duramax L5P Cat & DPF Delete Pipe (2017-2025)

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.
