Awesome job! The dual exhaust mod is one of my faves on the NNBS.......and especially since you kept the spare tire functional.

I think it came out the best I have seen so far. Nice work. I know u said you want to wrap the door pillars. I really think if you paint your appliqués your tail light paint will pop. I have seen the pillars painted black on a white truck and for whatever reason it reminds me of a limmo.

Sweet ride. Look forward to seeing more.

I really think GM didn't run the spare tire with this bumper is because the escalade with a 6.2L would have been too loud without the rear resonator

there isn't enough room for a resonator and the spare

After drive it around some and checking the temps i decided just wrapping the crossover pipe with header/exhaust wrap should be good

I checked the temp of the tires just from driving

Temp at the Y

Got my vinyl and knifeless tape in for the door post
It was a little tricky getting it lined up with the window runs at the top because they are not square they have a radius

Great info thanks. Are you going to wrap the back pillars as well?

Did Gibson sell a specific kit or did you marry up a bunch of different pipe?

I built my own tailpipes with various bends

But Gibson does have a dual exhaust specifically for the tahoe and maybe just the ends can be modified so it could work with the premuim bumper tips

And no I'm not going to wrap the back

Woah where you get the door pillar tape

Post a link please

I ordered a 1'x5' piece of vehicle wrap
It was not specifically for the door post

But I got it from Ikonwraps
