My Premium dual exhaust bumper install with the spare tire

[KennyK]

being someone hit my wife's Yukon in the back i decided to install the premium dual exhaust bumper

i will be keeping the spare tire and routing a custom exhaust around it off the factory muffler and fabing custom made heat shields as needed
Don't know if it was brought up before but just in case someone wanted to try Gibson and Flowmaster both have a dual exhaust kit that is routed around the spare tire
the Gibson looks like it might be easier adapted to the exhaust sleeves over the flowmaster

parts

409 stainless exhaust parts

temps around the spare with factory exhaust

started making a heat shield for the spare but i think im going to wait until the exhaust is finished then decide how i will make one

getting ready to flip the cut out for the hoist so that it will be moved over 3' be hind the hit cover

flipped over

test fit

welded up

flipped the rear access hole on the reinforcement

welded back up

new bottom support bracket for the bumper

i will post more as i go

Wow this is awesome. I'd SO do this if I had the welding/fab skills you had!! Keep up the good work!!

 

[NathanJax]

Can't wait to see the results!

Sweet. I am in for the build. My bro has a lift and welds and has all the tools. So if this can be done I will be doing it. So far really nice work.

 

[KennyK]

Got busy at the shop but I finally got around to finishing up the install


Reinforcement painted back black

Test fit of the new parts

Exhaust tacked together

Hanger I added on the driver side

This is the bracket that holds the brake lines on the top of the rear end

I extended the bracket to push the lines forward away from the exhaust pipe that crosses over

Extended Bracket installed

Decided to put a little color around the taillight

Ill get some pics of it completed tomorrow and post some pic of it all done.
I will keep checking the temps of and around the spare as we drive it to see if and where heat shields will go

Looks great. Always liked the way the dual exhaust looks. Well done

 

[Sho'Tyme]

Great job

What you using to tint the tails?

Clear and black mixed?

I totally didn't realize all of this work was involved in this mod. Well done, sir.

It's not if you don't run a spare tire like others have done
You just swap out the bumper and get new tailpipes

still wanting to wrap the door post in between the two door glasses with some black vinyl but here are some pics of it completed for now

Looks good. Need pics with the cover off. Your Yukon has the clean/shaven look to it. Would look good without the side moldings and roof rack

If I was driving it and not my wife I would take the moldings off
I would be more careful about door dings and I am thinking about doing the escalade/denali roof rack but painted all white

as you requested

Wow, that looks awesome.
Did you do the exhaust work yourself?
Looks like a quality job, well done.
