2026 Tahoe RST performance exhaust

[ReaperHWK]

I bought the truck and the window sticker says catback performance exhaust, performance air intake, and sport pedal kit.

The window sticker also says the pedals and catback are dealer installed. I verified that my pedals are the bright performance but I can’t verify the performance exhaust. I just want to ensure the dealer installed it vice just leaving the stock catback on. I don’t trust dealers.

The exhaust sounds nice and it’s the quad chrome tip exhaust. Each tip has a bowtie logo on the top.

Does the standard exhaust also have the bowtie emblems?


AI is telling me if there are bowtie emblems it’s the performance exhaust.

Can anyone verify or not?

Don't the newer 25+ have the squared exhaust tips. Those look like the GM Performance exhaust tips.

Thanks.

I thought the square tips were only on Escalades?

Pretty sure you have the performance exhaust as my 2024 High Country has the round exhaust tips but not the bowtie logo.

A good test would be to start your truck up next to a standard Tahoe, the difference should be noticeable side by side.

Also I prefer the round pipes over the square. Just looks better imo.

My 25 High Country has square exhaust tips and it doesn't have Performance Exhaust. I think RST comes with round as well even if its not Performance Package

On my window sticker it says "dual exhaust"

The intake looks different, just lift the hood to verify. From what I've seen online, there is a red cone air filter in front of the brake reservoir. If those were on the sticker and they are not on the vehicle, that's theft at the dealership and unlikely. That would be similar to the Brembo brakes on the sticker, and in boxes (been shown on forums) with the brand new vehicle, and for them to simply "disappear." One would not think a GM dealer would do that and risk their franchise....then again lol it's hard to make a profit in the car business these days
