diameter of stock exhaust on 14+ 6.2 trucks?

[crushNchowda]

anyone know the stock exhaust diameter for the 6.2 trucks? I'm guessing its 3" piping but want to make sure...I thought it may have been larger on the last gen

My previous truck which was a 2011 with the 6.2 was 3.5 inch exhaust. I assume it would be the same.

What kind of city highway mpg did you get with your GMT900 6.2? How is the 2014 5.3 power compared to your 2011 6.2?

It is in fact a 3.5" Exhaust after the Y pipe up front near the engine. AKA cat back.

3.5" from the "Y" Back

I did too, but for some reason I thought it was smaller now.

 

Reason I'd like to know is I have a local exhaust shop that'll build me a custom dual exhaust w/ a borla muffler MUCH cheaper than a catback, but can only bend 304 pipe in 3" diameter

I don't think the '14+ has 3.5in. exhaust like the old 6.2 did.

It was 13-14ish and 18-20 on the highway. The new 5.3 isn't too bad compared to the old 6.2. In fact put in some e85 and think the torque might be the same.

Every 14+ 6.2 I have ever looked at on the lot has the same diameter tailpipe as the 5.3's beside it do. If it is larger it's just 3" but I never bring a caliper along to check.

Every 2015 6.2L ive looked at has bigger exhaust than the 5.3L sitting right beside it....

Before I got out of truck to look at window sticker I'd look at tailpipe.

The tailpipes are the same after the muffler but the piping under the truck is 3.5" on the 6.2

[Badass69]

I see zero difference in the tailpipes. If I get really bored I will go to the Chevrolet dealer and measure it.... but I doubt I will get that bored. Same exit and same diameter appearance. I looked at some 15s about a week ago.

That makes sense lol. Looking at the back of the truck there is no visual cue anymore.

5.3 on E85: 380hp 416 lb-ft
