I can’t think of a better way to void the engine/exhaust warranty! ---

I’m no fan of loud mufflers. Know that you’ll see about zero performance change. But it’s your money to waste. ---

I think you would be better to find a Duramax forum… there are a lot… to get specific owner testimonials about aftermarket exhausts. Or you could go to truck performance seller sites and look there. Many, if not all, have sound clips. This site is just a bit too general… and conservative with respect to loud mufflers… to give you a good recommendation. ---

I’ve never heard a warranty being denied because of a muffler replacement or cat-back system ---

Still…why take a chance on a brand new $60K truck? I’d leave the exhaust alone, myself. ---

Personal preference. I put a catback on my Mustang a week after buying it. No warranty issues at all. ---

Some years ago my son put a Borla exhaust on his Camaro. It’s stainless steel and guaranteed forever. Pricey but all stainless is. I do admit that it sounds fantastic with a somewhat subdued throaty growl and best of all it sounds great without being obnoxious. ---
