FITMENT

  • 2017-2023 6.6L Silverado & Sierra Duramax L5P 2500HD 3500HD Diesel engine trucks.
  • Note: Will NOT fit Cab & Chassis commercial-style trucks.

DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

  • The factory exhaust and intake systems on L5P engines can create airflow restrictions and long-term contamination issues. The OEM turbo downpipe uses restrictive bends that limit exhaust flow directly after the turbocharger, while the factory EGR system recirculates hot exhaust gases and soot back into the intake system.
  • The Downpipe & EGR Delete Kit improves turbo exhaust flow, reduces intake soot buildup, and helps maintain cleaner, more efficient engine airflow.

Key Features

  • 3.5" Downpipe: Replaces the restrictive factory downpipe with larger, smoother tubing to improve exhaust flow directly after the turbocharger and reduce backpressure.
  • Reduces EGR Soot Contamination: Helps prevent hot exhaust soot from entering the intake system, reducing carbon buildup and keeping intake components cleaner.
  • Helps Lower Exhaust Temperatures: Improved exhaust flow reduces heat buildup after the turbocharger, helping support lower operating temperatures during heavy loads.
  • Improves Turbo Efficiency: The smoother exhaust path helps reduce restriction at the turbo outlet, supporting improved turbo response and overall airflow efficiency.

FAQ

Q: Why combine the downpipe and EGR delete together?

A: The downpipe improves exhaust-side airflow, while the EGR delete addresses intake-side contamination. Together, they provide a more complete airflow improvement solution.

Q: Why upgrade the turbo downpipe on the L5P Duramax?

A: The factory downpipe uses restrictive shapes and limited airflow passages near the turbo outlet. A larger 3.5" mandrel-bent downpipe improves exhaust flow and reduces restriction directly after the turbocharger.

Q: What are the benefits of deleting the EGR cooler on a 6.6L L5P?

A: Removing the EGR cooler permanently stops hot soot from recirculating back into your intake manifold. It eliminates sticky carbon sludge buildup, keeps intake air cool and pure, and protects engine from catastrophic internal coolant leaks caused by cracked EGR cooler tubes.

Q: Will the 3.5" downpipe improve turbo response?

A: By reducing exhaust restriction directly after the turbocharger, the 3.5" downpipe helps improve exhaust flow efficiency and supports quicker turbo response.

L5P plus this downpipe plus a tune = a different truck

2022 Silverado 2500. Installed this 3.5-inch downpipe, a cold air intake, and an EZ Lynk tune. The L5P went from a torquey work truck to an actual performance diesel. The downpipe is the piece that lets all the other mods work — you can tune and intake all you want but if the exhaust is bottlenecked at the turbo outlet you are leaving power on the table. This pipe unlocks the L5P's potential.

TruckTok quality is consistent

I have bought three TruckTok products now — the intake horn, the EGR delete kit, and this downpipe. Every single one has been properly machined, properly packaged, and properly documented. The downpipe is 16-gauge 304 polished stainless with reinforcement gussets at the turbo flange. The welds are fully penetrated and back-purged. This is not a Chinese eBay pipe with booger welds. TruckTok is building a real brand here.

Deep turbo sound without being straight-piped

My 2019 L5P still has the factory muffler and DPF (for now). Even with the stock exhaust behind it, the 3.5-inch downpipe changed the exhaust note. Deeper idle, cleaner turbo spool sound, and a subtle but noticeable change in tone under load. The sound difference alone is worth the price. It sounds like a diesel truck now instead of a vacuum cleaner.

Big rig hauler — EGT control while towing heavy

2018 Silverado 3500 dually pulling a 48-foot gooseneck livestock trailer — 24,000 pounds loaded. Before this downpipe, EGTs would creep toward 1200 on the mountain grades and I would have to back out of the throttle. After the 3.5-inch pipe, EGTs peak at 1050 on the same grades and I can hold 65 mph. That 150-degree difference is the margin between making schedule and crawling up a grade at 45. For heavy haulers this pipe is not optional.

2017 L5P Gen 1 — perfect fit through the firewall

The L5P engine bay is tight. I was worried a 3.5-inch pipe would hit the firewall or the transmission bellhousing. It does not. TruckTok nailed the routing. Clears everything with about half an inch on each side. The mandrel bend is smooth with no crush marks or diameter reduction. Installed on my 2017 Denali HD with zero fitment issues. 10,000 miles and no rattles or leaks.

3.5-inch over the factory 3-inch — real difference

2020 Silverado 3500. Factory L5P downpipe is only 3 inches with a crushed bend at the firewall — GM choked this engine from the factory. Upgrading to the TruckTok 3.5-inch mandrel-bent pipe is a night and day difference. EGTs dropped 130 degrees on my tow tune and the turbo spools faster at low RPM. If you are doing anything to your L5P — tune, intake, delete — do the downpipe first. It is the single biggest flow restriction on these trucks.

2021 L5P — factory V-band was seized

The pipe is fantastic. The install on a 2021 with 80K miles was a battle because the factory turbo V-band clamp was rust-welded solid. Soaked it in penetrating oil for three hours and still needed a torch. That is not the pipe's fault — it is GM's fasteners. Once the old pipe was out, this one slid in perfectly. Budget an extra hour if your truck has seen winter salt.

Paired this with the L5P intake horn — perfect combo

2019 Silverado HD. Did the TruckTok intake horn and this 3.5-inch downpipe at the same time. More air in + more exhaust out = the L5P runs like a different engine. Throttle response is immediate, turbo whistle is clean and noticeable, and my fuel economy on the highway went from 16.5 to 18.9 on a 200-mile test loop. These two mods together cost less than a good tuner and deliver real results.

The parts was perfect the shipping was on time even though they took a long time to ship didnt think I would still get it on time besides that everything was perfect

What does it mean in the description by doesn’t fit cab and chassis trucks which certain trucks?

TruckTok

Cab & Chassis trucks have a different frame rail width and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank placement compared to standard pickups. This kit is specifically designed for standard 2500/3500 pickup beds and will not clear the components on a chassis cab model.

If I bought exhaust and can plugs do you offer a source or tuner option for a 17 l5p

TruckTok

Yes, we can recommend the tuning service.
