FAQ
Does this exhaust system work with Speed Engineering longtube headers?
Yes. This system is designed to work with Speed Engineering's 1-3/4" and 1-7/8" truck longtube headers and Y-pipe. It will also adapt to 3.5" factory exhaust systems but fabrication will be required.
Which cab and bed configurations does this fit?
This system fits Single Cab, Crew Cab, and Extra Cab configurations with a short bed only. It is not designed for long bed trucks without extending the connection pipes.
Will this fit my 2007 Silverado or Sierra?
Only if your 2007 is the new body style. The 2007 Classic body style is not compatible — Classic owners need to purchase 1999–2006 exhaust products instead.
Does this work on 2019–2024 models with factory rear exit bumper exhaust?
It can be modified to work with factory rear-exiting bumper exhaust on 2019–2024 models, but modification is required.
What exit tip options are included?
Both an axle exit tip and an over-axle rear exit tip are included in every kit, giving you the choice of exit style at installation.
What transmissions is this compatible with?
This system is compatible with 4, 6, 8, and 10 speed automatic transmissions.
Will this fit my SUV or long bed truck?
SUV and non-standard wheelbase applications are possible but will require lengthening, shortening, and hanger relocation modifications. Long bed configurations can be accommodated by extending the connection pipes.
What engines is this compatible with?
This system is compatible with 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L engines found in 2007–2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models.
