What type of design are you thinking of so that we could have and idea on which brand and model to suggest.

Anything would be an upgrade, but side exit would be great.

Yes it will fit a tahoe. Lots of people have installed it. I have also installed this on my Avalanche

If it fits a 2015, then it would specify that it fits a 2015 Tahoe, but it doesn't. As I mentioned, the 2015 Tahoe exhaust tip is only about 8" long at the end of the resonator. Not sure how you think this will fit, but I'm not to proud to admit I'm wrong so feel free to show me I'm wrong with a picture of it installed on a 2015 or likewise.

Here is the end of the stock exhaust on my Tahoe. Not sure how the exhaust tip in the link you sent would fit but again, show me I'm wrong as I like the look of it and would love to install it "IF" it would fit. With that, if you're implying to cut off the rear most resonator, then that makes sense but without removing the resonator (which you didn't specify), I don't see how this would be a clamp/bolt-on modification.

The other question is whether or not the hanger location/setup is identical since it's not made for a 2015?

To see if they match up with the tip shown. Did I misread the post...

On the other models, yes you cut the pipe before the resonator. So you end up with a little different exhaust note.

Unless you're posting a pic of a 2014 and older, I think you may have misread it. I'm looking for a 2015 compatible exhaust tips and the link someone posted shows that it fits up to 2013. My comment was whether or not the 2013/2014's have the same hanger location as the new body style 2015. Either way, thanks for assisting in the post.

So I finally got ahold of SLP........man, their customer service sucks. I emailed them a week ago, never got a response, then I called and left a voicemail, never got a response. I finally reached someone today around lunch time and the answer I was given when I asked if their 2013 and older side exhaust exhaust tip resonator removal kit would fit was "we haven't had a vehicle to test in on since the new models came out".

Needless to say that's a terrible answer. I'll have to do some digging on the previous generation forum to see if the exhaust systems mount the same and/or if the exhaust from the previous generation has the same part numbers.

I just went round and round trying a few different tips before installing the factory tip. Pretty simple tip, but I think it gives it a nice touch.

I purchased two aftermarket tips on Amazon that didn't fit - they were:

Dynomax 36484 - according to Dynomax, this should fit. It does not, it's too small.

Dynomax 36474 - according to Amazon, this should fit. It does not, its to big around and too long.

GM 19156356 - according to Amazon, this doesn't fit the 2015 Tahoe 5.3L. It fits perfectly. Here's some pics:

Oh man. Im so sorry i posted that SLP thread. I have that on my 07 avalanche which is exact same as the nnbs 07 to 2014 tahoes and it works really well. I noticed your looking for the new 2015 side dump. I also have a 2015 tahoe and have searched far and wide for a side dump. All i can find is similar set ups to the callaway side dumps but nobody makes a kit as simple as the SLP ones that deletes the rear resonator. Corsa Sport exhaust makes a nice one http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/03...ystem-for-2015-chevrolet-tahoe-and-gmc-yukon/ which is the closest i can find to just cut off resonator and rebolt.
