5.3 tahoe muffler delete help

[bigred2015]

Hey all I have a 2015 tahoe and am looking for a nicer exaust sound but nothing too crazy or expensive. A local shop quoted $300 for a muffler delete and tip install witch seems high. Id like to do the muffler delete myself and either not add a new tip or take it to the shop and see how cheap it would be to just install a tip. My question is what size piping should I get to install in place of muffler. 3" piping? Length? Also I will be removing the flapper valve and do not have a welder so it will be clamped in. There are some drop in muffler delete pipes online but they are >$100 and most I've seen are for the silverado, not sure if it would fit tahoe.

This is one you might leave to the pros. You don’t want exhaust fumes getting in your cabin. You should be able to find a shop for less than $300.

Yeah I don't love spending that amount on a simple job i can do myself but if it screw it up, cutting or installing, having exhaust through the cabin is less than ideal.

If you do it yourself cut off the muffler and take a small piece of pipe to wherever you plan to get new pipe and clamps. That way you’ll have the exact length and diameter you need. Tips can be held with self tapping screws.

Is it ok to remove the exhaust resonator that’s behind rear axle
