| LMM UFO Replacement Exhaust Tip ?
Who makes a stainless cover or replacement tip that still allows the factory air cooling flow - any company?

| yeah, but don't you have to buy their system for it to work? I don't know if there are direct stock replacements, but the DPF back systems will have a new tip with them and I believe most of them exit closer to the original exit of the older trucks instead of straight out the back.

| Holey Toledo Bat-Man …. now that's a tip……… Rolling Big Power
That plus a muffler delete pipe and I am in fad city from the filter back. I am aware of the filter back Magnaflow and MBRP pipes, but I want to keep the stock exit location - better aimed out the garage door for early morning warm-ups.
Looks like you would be cutting off most of the factory tip because you can see there it is clamp on.  Join the dark side........

| If you want to save some money and have a better looking tip, do what I did yesterday.
The stock tip can be polished with Mothers Billet or Aluminum polish. I started with the polish ball and went to hand rubbing for the finish. It looks a whole lot better and only took about 30 minutes. I will go back and keep touching it up after a few days and it will get brighter with time. It doesn't look so cheap now.

| Two reasons GM put the pipe where it is.
1. Ford put theirs on the side and the paint started to blister if parked in regen.
2. At +1400 degrees in regen you could burn your garage down if too close to the wood wall. | |

| I know this is alittle off topic, but how does the regen work? I'm glad I don't have that on mine, I feel sorry for the LMM owners.

| Regen is the cleaning process of the ceramic particulate trap. About every tankful extra diesel is injected into the DPR and the temp goes up to +1400 degrees to burn the deposits of the ceramic filter. Regen lasts about 10 minutes, however I have never seen or felt it come on in 8200 Mi. No big deal!
One thing the DPR does, is the exhaust never smells bad like a diesel without DPR does. I actually like it. Hey we got to watch out for Global Warming, however it seems to miss us up here in Manitoba it was -33F two days ago. | |
