Has anyone done this modification?

Interesting with spare tire and Mandrel Bend tubing That Looks Professional to me.

So are exhaust shops not professionals?

 

[messy]

I don't want to speak for shops I have never been to, but most small shops don't have the
capability to do mandrel bends. Most have stock of common angles in common sizes and cut And weld them to straight pipe sections

I would assume from the sticker and clamp on the drivers side piping that they pieced together the exhaust from exhaust piping you or I could buy anywhere but they be mandrel bent to the tips. Any exhaust shop could do it or at least have it done. The exhaust is nothing special. I would want heat shields put in by the tire but may not be necessary.

Completely unsafe. That exhaust runs too close to the spare ad no heat shields that I can see. The heat that tire is exposed to, there is NO way you'd get me to put that spare on my vehicle and trust it to get from point A to point B.

The premium escalade doesn't have a spare for a reason.. Safety and liability.

looks like he has 2 or 3 in between pipe and spire tire I think it is enough

There is not 2-3" between the tire and pipe

1.5 or 2 maybe

Or maybe GM just wanted to cut costs by not adding a spare. Damn I'm starting to sound like StevenFromTexas hahaha.

1.5 or 2 maybe

If that is 1.5 or 2" then how big is the gap between the faux tip and bumper? 5-6"?
