I was thinking about just chopping off the res and putting on a 3.5 turn down. I am not a fan of tips anyways unless its a dual set up poking out the back. I also hid my exhaust on my supercharged expedition.

I noticed that most of the SUVs have the exhaust pointed out the side, and the SLP retains that. My wife's ESV has the tip out the rear - is that normal? I can only find a few pictures online but never with anything that confirms if they have a stock exhaust. I was thinking perhaps that the truck has an optional performance exhaust from the dealer, but I can't find anything concrete on that either.

I think most, if not all, GM SUVs have rear exit exhaust. The full-size definitely do. The difference is the 6.2 is straight while the 5.3 has a turn-down.

It will fit 07-13 Denali XL but will route the pipe out to the side behind the rear wheel.

Okay everyone here is a very cheap solution.

Walker part # 41428 it’s a 3” OD 45 degree section smooth bend. $24.99

Cheapo eBay tip 3” inlet big boss 5” outlet $31.99

Muffler Shop fee for me was only $40.00.

Here is the thing it’s simple have old can cut off closest to the can slide over your walker pipe pushed up hitting hangar. Temp install tip tighten loosely so you can slide on and position one one end gets cut that will be the tip side after welding completed. With tip slid on so that it is on the 3” on all of the way into the bend then snug bolt use your finger or thumb as a block and while everything is held in position have muffler shop tack weld. Now move so that can finish welding in place. I made sure my tip was slid as far inward towards bend but making sure it was on true 3” OD not going into start of bend radius. I marked with sharpie took off tip and had shop cut off access Walker pipe. Cleaned up cut and reinstalled tip torqued bolt and done! Kinda gives that larger Diesel tuff look. Cheers now I’ll post some pics

By the time you pay for all of the welding and shipping, you're probably pretty close to what the SLP tip cost with a lot more labor. But it does look nice.

Exactly what I did except I left it like that.

This thread has been around awhile. I'm trying to find someone who still stocks the 6.2L SLP kit (31096). I tried Amazon, Summit, Jegs, eBay and a few others. But it looks like it has been discontinued. Anyone have a source? I may have to do what JPBurb did and fab up my own solution.

Any decent muffler shop can remove it and stick a piece of pipe in there and reattach your factory tip OR replace it with whatever tip you want. Most muffler shops have a decent selection of chrome or stainless tips as well.

Probably $50 or less.
