I put a new 6.0 in my 13 Tahoe a couple of years back. I've been running the 5.3 factory exhaust, so this week

I bought the equivalent year for an escalade factory exhaust; Y pipe back. In my stupidity, what I failed to do was recognize that I was buying the exhaust off an escalade ESV.
I haven't pulled the exhaust off my Tahoe yet, and from glancing under my Tahoe to looking at the bought system, I can't tell where the extra length is. Does anyone know where I'll be cutting and welding to make the ESV system the same length as the stack Tahoe? In other words, is the added length after the Y pipe and before the muffler or after the muffler?
Thank you for any info.

The extra length of the vehicle is in the rear foot area and 1/4 panel so that should be where the exhaust needs shortening for the different components to match up to the body properly.

You in Florida? I want an ESV or Denali XL exhaust system and Y-Pipe in preparation for when mine gets a 6.2.

Thank you. I was looking at it. I think you are right , but I question myself because the over the axle bend and resonator look like they both start immediately after the axle bend on my Tahoe and the ESV. That makes me think it may be in front of the muffler. I appreciate your input.
