Would it be possible for a muffler shop to simply cut the resonator out then weld a piece of pipe where it was to keep the stock tip? If the hanger is strong enough to hold the resonator plus the rest of the exhaust, it should be strong enough to hold a section of pipe of the same length, I'd assume.

I love the way my 6.0 stock tip looks (rear exit straight, not downturned like the 5.3s), especially now that I've polished it. Don't want to give that up.

I had a shop weld this up after cutting off the resonator, a dual polished stainless tip straight out the back, added a magnaflow 12589 while they were under there as well.

I recently moved and had my Tahoe inspected in the new county where I reside. It failed because of the exhaust. Which makes no sense because it passed last year. He said I need to add at least 3" for it to pass. $20 some aluminized tubing and 5 minutes later, he passed me.
I need to make a new tip and remove that crap that he welded on.

:lol: had mine like it is for 6 years or so and never had an issue with fumes or inspection issues. Is your county a stickler for certain criteria on vehicles?
