So I wanted a left and right side exit and liked the sound of the GM Borla kit for the 6.2. So I came up with a compromise. I bought 2 Flowmaster stainless 2.25 45 degree bends and Summit brand 2.25 to 3 inch tips. I installed the Borla kit as per directions and then lopped off the tail pipes right before they make the final bend straight to the back.

trimmed the 45's to make the new tail pipes.

I was going to leave enough to expand the ends to do a lap weld but frustration with the cheap pipe expander and all the exhaust shops being closed caused me to use a butt weld. Since my welds were ugly to me I broke out the grinder, die grinder and some sand paper of varying grits and smoothed them out. I like the look better as the tailpipes look as one piece. Ill get a side view and maybe a few more in the daylight today.
