Factory Single Exhaust to Factory Dual Exhaust?

[SilveradoRST]

Anyone done a factory single exhaust upgrade to a factory dual exhaust?  Does it require a different rear bumper?  

[UncleDave]

I don't think it requires the different bumper, theoretically at least. The actual pipes end just before the bumper. The "tips" aren't actual tips attached to the pipes, but are separate cosmetic trim pieces bolted to the bumper. But even if the factory duals theoretically could fit with a standard bumper, it might look funny.

It requires a new bumper if you want to use the factory tips. It would not if you just dump behind the bumper.

I wanted to go dual exhaust on my single exhaust truck. Are all the mounting points for the duals on my truck with the factory single exhaust?

Also interested in whats on the rear drivers side for mounting points?  Looks like there is an additional heat shield on that side as well...

I'm sure the exhaust isn't much of a problem to install dual exhaust. We see them on trucks all the time. I have a 2020 1500 Elevation and found out I can get a factory bumper similar to an AT4 with the dual exhaust. The bumper should bolt up to my truck right? There is a different heat shield for the dual exhaust, I found them online for about 80 bucks.

There is a hanger over on the back drivers side that you will need.  The price starts to ad up pretty quickly with the parts but it should be very easy to do.

I want to go the other direction.  Dual exhausts are not the best thing to have when hitching up a trailer.  I knew this was going to be an issue before I bought the truck, but I decided to just suck it up...literally.
