Hello, I just joined the group. I have a quick question I’m hoping one of you can answer. I have a 2007 Yukon Denali 6.2L. I’m wanting to do some exhaust work. I’m thinking about a Super 44 or Super 10 Flowmaster. My question is what is the pipe size that’s on my truck? I’ve heard people say 3” and others 3.5”.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

My understanding is the the inlet pipe into the muffler is 3.5" and the outlet pipe out of the muffler is 3".

The Walker website shows 3" ID tubing with a 3.5" exhaust tip. I'll put a tape around mine tonight when it gets back to double check.

If you travel alone and like to hear the motor more than the stereo, the Flowmasters are awesome...

x2 on this one. 3” ID w/ 3-1/2” tips.

Welcome to the forum - Michigan here, but I spent many of moons down in NC.

Whatever you decide to go with, just make sure to consider the amount of heat dissipation from your new gear. On some rigs depending on the engine size and style/size of the upgraded header/exhaust there may be a need to either wrap them with a heat tape and/or the need to wrap some of the other “components” (including but not limited to spark plug wires/boots, starter and the electrical wiring running to the starter, tranny coolant lines near the headers…etc).
When I was looking for a new exhaust (2011 Denali 6.2l) I’m pretty sure Doug Thorley shorties were one of the few headers (aside from custom work) that worked with our big @$$ engine, without interfering or needing to wrap EVERYTHING - headers, plug wires, starter and electrical.
Don’t let this sway you, rather just giving you some food for thought.
Plus I know NC has some emissions laws, so be mindful of any cat or muffler deletes.

You might want to pick something else, the flowmaster's sound alright on the 5.3 but at wide open throttle on a 6.2l sounds like krap
**just my opinion**
Not just your opinion, I agree 100% on that observation. The exhaust on the 6.2l cannot be compared to anything on the 5.3l. Well…I don’t want to say anything, but there are many that sound much different between the two.

Similar concepts apply if you have or plan to do other mods in which systems contribute to the function of others. In terms of the exhaust, they may change the sound a little but you’ll notice it more overall in performance if things are not tuned properly with the addition of other upgrades/modifications.

Beware of the slippery slope…or strap in and barrel head first down the double diamond. Either way there’s plenty of knowledge and experience from the guys/gals on the forum
