Vigor Diesel's 4-inch CAT/DPF Delete Racepipe is specifically designed for the 6.6L Duramax LML engine found in the 2015.5-2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 HD heavy-duty pickup trucks. This product is a special development for the later-model LML platform (3-bolt flange), replacing only the original mid-section DPF (diesel particulate filter) and DOC (oxidation catalyst) assembly. It uses a 4-inch straight-through pipe to replace the original dense filter structure, achieving quick modification and performance release without replacing the entire exhaust system.
