PPE 117000700 3" 304 Stainless Steel Downpipe — 2015.5-2016 LML Duramax (3-Bolt Flange)
Upgrade the restrictive factory downpipe on your 2015.5-2016 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 6.6L Duramax LML with this PPE high-flow 3-inch stainless steel replacement. Designed specifically for later LML trucks with the 3-bolt triangular flange, it replaces the stock crushed oval pipe that creates an abrupt restriction right after the turbo.
Mandrel-bent 3" 304 stainless steel tubing and TIG-welded flanges deliver a smooth, round, unrestricted flow path. Exhaust exits the turbo faster, which improves turbo efficiency, speeds spool-up, lowers EGTs, and produces a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note. A woven titanium heat sleeve (held with stainless clamps) keeps heat in the exhaust instead of the engine bay and cabin.
Factory sensor bungs (M20-1.5 and M14-1.5) are retained so OEM sensors install without modification. The design is a direct bolt-on and is CARB EO# D-701-30 approved for 50-state legal use.
Key Features
- 3" mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel construction
- Smooth round tube vs. factory crushed oval design
- Woven titanium heat wrap for reduced under-hood and cabin temperatures
- TIG-welded, machined flanges for a leak-free fit
- Retains all factory sensor ports
- Direct bolt-on replacement
- 50-state emissions legal (CARB EO# D-701-30)
Benefits
- Lower EGTs and improved turbo response
- Better exhaust flow and throttle response
- Reduced engine-bay heat
- Corrosion-resistant, long-lasting 304 stainless steel
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket up-pipes
Fitment
2015.5–2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD / 3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD / 3500HD with 6.6L Duramax LML and 3-bolt flange exhaust connection.
Important: This part is for 2015.5+ 3-bolt flange trucks only. Early 2015 models with a V-band clamp require PPE 117000600.
A straightforward, high-quality upgrade that lets the turbo breathe better while standing up to daily driving and towing. Pairs well with a full exhaust system for even greater gains.
