Introduction

Unlock the full potential of your Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 6.6L Duramax L5P with this Downpipe-Back Race Exhaust System. It's built from 16-gauge stainless steel and available for both 2017–2019 and 2020–2026 trucks. Choose a 4-inch or 5-inch system, then choose to run it with or without a muffler. Every version delivers unrestricted flow, sharper throttle response and a deep, aggressive tone built for serious off-road and competition use.

Note: This system is for off-road and race applications only and must be paired with off-road race tuning.

Choose Your Configuration

Build the system that fits your truck and your goals by picking one option from each of the three choices below.

1. Model Year

  • 2017–2019 GM 2500HD/3500HD Duramax L5P
  • 2020–2026 GM 2500HD/3500HD Duramax L5P (with OEM-style 4-bolt turbo flange)

Each version is bent to fit its model generation precisely, so be sure to select the year range that matches your truck.

2. Pipe Diameter

4-Inch Downpipe-Back

A strong all-round choice for trucks that tow and daily drive. It improves flow and spool over stock while keeping the tone slightly more restrained than the 5-inch system.

5-Inch Downpipe-Back

Maximum airflow for built trucks and competition use. The larger diameter offers the least restriction and the deepest, most aggressive exhaust note.

3. Muffler Option

No Muffler

A straight-through pipe with nothing in the path. This is the loudest and least restrictive setup, ideal for dedicated race and pull trucks.

With Muffler

Adds a stainless steel muffler to the system for a more controlled tone. A good fit if you want the flow of a race exhaust with less noise on long drives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which years does this exhaust fit?

It's available in two versions: one for 2017–2019 and one for 2020–2026 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks with the 6.6L Duramax L5P. Select the version that matches your truck's model year.

Should I choose the 4-inch or 5-inch system?

The 4-inch system suits trucks that tow and daily drive, with a slightly more restrained tone. The 5-inch system offers the most airflow and the deepest sound, making it ideal for built trucks and competition use.

What's the difference between the muffler options?

The No Muffler option is a straight-through pipe for maximum flow and volume. The With Muffler option adds a stainless steel muffler for a more controlled tone while keeping the race-style flow.

Does it require tuning?

Yes. Off-road race tuning is required for correct performance and to prevent error codes.

Are all components included?

Yes. Each kit includes stainless clamps, contour-bent hangers and improved flanges, plus the muffler when that option is selected.

Will it fit my Cab & Chassis truck?

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.

Could have come with some kind of directions. Made it through it ok but a little direction would have been nice. Overall everything works as it should.

GM Duramax L5P CAN BUS Plug Kit (2017-2023)

Before installing never had a code after install getting low fuel rail pressure code under load. If I keep RPMs up just a little ( by switching to manual shift and never come out of 5 gear Allison 6 speed trans) will work fine . If u shift to 6th gear lower RPM as soon as u go up a little incline it starves for fuel and goes into reduced power mode. But if u mash the excelsior and down shifts it will take off like a rocket.

Muffler has great sound, no restrictions. The best part of the whole deal was the outstanding service and shipping that Tuner Depot provided. Would definitely use them again.
