2" of clearance between the pipe and the spare tire. Is enough
I'd imagine if you really needed to you could put a heat shield around it as well. But yeah, 2" should be enough I would think...

I see ... so basically GM puts a huge heat shield on all the other trucks who's exhaust pipes are by the sides of the truck cause they love spending extra on unnecessary parts.
Hopefully I'm wrong on this and nothing/no oen gets damaged.
Time will tell ...
But it does show that it can be done, albeit better with custom pipes running further down the sides.
It is interesting.

How far away is the resonator from the spare? I only ask because I bought mine with no resonator or I'd go check.
I'll take some pics tomorrow ... i'm supposed to go to the muffler shop to get my SLP tip installed.

The more I stare at those pics the more I think esca succeeded.
Hopefully this won't be another tale of exhaust pipes fubaring or setting the spare on fire ... but it looks like an exhaust shop could push each of the pipes a few inches further out and avoid the potential issue all together.

Maybe it is better to use thermo tape(as for the headers warp) on exhaust pipe to avoid spare tyre heating
You can look at Thermo-Tec Clamp-on Pipe heat shield also. Just to be sure ))

I took this pic the other days when the truck was on the lift for the exhaust tip swap ... is that the auto ride module or something on the way?
