Duramax tailpipe

While traveling the I-5 slab homeward bound, I accidentally let a Duramax pass me and he moved into my lane ahead of me. I just happened to notice that the tailpipe looks about the size of a gasser's tailpipe. Poor thing. He sure tried to trick it up. Fancy b-i-g tires, chromey bumper, good looking camper, but a teenie exhaust pipe. Since the state patrol were busy, we behaved.

Re:Duramax tailpipe

Sure looked small. I know he was a duramax, read his logo on the side of the door. If that's 3 1/2 inches, it's deceptive. Are you sure your buddy is stock. This guys wasn't stainless. Maybe I'm going to have to go over the local chevy dealer disguised in my wife's Honda and get a closer look at the tailpipe.

Our trucks are 3.5&quot; but we get that cool looking 4&quot; tip. 8)<br><br>the Chebys guys got screwed out of their big tip. <br><br>My freind Ryan has a Dmax with 4&quot; exhaust and strait piped, sounds pretty good for a V-8 diesel. : It's not so quiet anymore. 8)<br><br>DB
