I noticed that Magnaflow's Exhaust for the 6.2L Trucks is a 3.5" System, whereas their Systems for 5.3L Trucks are 3".

Is there any reason why the 6.2L System wouldn't fit on a 5.3L? Are the Flanges different at the Cat Connection?

I know on the older 6.0L & 5.3L, the Header / Cat piping layout was totally different between the 2 and would take work to get it to fit...but looking at the Part Diagrams for the '15 Trucks, they look identical, they just have different Part Numbers.

My guess is the flange is differant. 6.2 has 3.5 inch from the factory. Steps down a little after the muffler.
