Flashark 3" Turbo Downpipe for 2011–2016 Chevy/GMC 6.6L Duramax
Product Specifications
Flashark 3" Turbo Downpipe for Chevy/GMC 6.6L Duramax Diesel
The Flashark 3-inch turbo downpipe is designed to replace the factory turbo-outlet downpipe section on selected 2011–2016 Chevrolet and GMC vehicles equipped with a 6.6L V8 Duramax turbo-diesel engine.
Its larger 3-inch tubing and smooth bends are designed to reduce restriction in the turbo-outlet section and support smoother exhaust flow. Durable welded construction and an included heat wrap help the pipe withstand the high-temperature conditions around the turbocharger.
Two connection styles are available. Select the version that matches the connection on your original downpipe:
- 2011–2015 V-Band Version: For confirmed Silverado and Sierra 2500HD/3500HD applications using a V-band connection.
- 2015–2016 3-Bolt Version: For confirmed Silverado, Sierra, Express and Savana applications using a 3-bolt flange connection.
Important for 2015 vehicles: Some 2015 vehicles may use a V-band connection, while others may use a 3-bolt flange. Inspect the factory connection before placing your order.

Product FAQ
Inspect the outlet connection on your original downpipe. Select the V-band version if the joint is secured by a circular V-band clamp. Select the 3-bolt version if the flange is secured by three bolts. Do not rely only on the vehicle year, especially for 2015 models. Some 2015 vehicles were produced with different exhaust connection configurations. Your VIN or model year may not be enough to identify the correct part, so physically inspecting the original connection is the safest way to choose. Yes, according to the confirmed fitment data, the 3-bolt version fits listed 2015–2016 Chevrolet Express 2500/3500 and GMC Savana 2500/3500 models equipped with the 6.6L V8 LGH Duramax turbo-diesel engine. Confirm that the original downpipe uses a 3-bolt flange before ordering. No. The confirmed Silverado and Sierra applications use the 6.6L LML Duramax, while the listed Express and Savana applications use the 6.6L LGH Duramax. This is why the product title uses “6.6L Duramax” rather than describing every application as LML. No. This product replaces the turbo downpipe section only. It is not a complete DPF, DOC, EGR or DEF delete kit, and those delete components are not included. A tune should not be advertised as automatically required solely because this downpipe is installed. Tuning requirements depend on the vehicle configuration, retained sensors, emissions equipment and any other modifications. Consult a qualified diesel technician before changing the factory calibration. No. Fitment is limited to the listed 2011–2016 Chevrolet and GMC applications with the correct engine and factory connection. It should not be ordered for LBZ, LMM, L5P or other unlisted Duramax generations based only on engine displacement. The package includes one 3-inch turbo downpipe in the selected connection style and finish, one heat wrap and two stainless-steel retaining ties or clamps. Additional factory hardware may need to be reused unless otherwise shown in the product images. The versions use different exterior finishes. Fitment is determined by the flange style, not the color. Select the correct connection first, then choose the available finish. Installation requires access to the turbo outlet area, correct exhaust alignment and verification of the flange and sensor locations. Professional installation is recommended, particularly if the original fasteners are corroded or difficult to access. Before removing the original pipe, compare the new part with the factory downpipe. Confirm the flange style, pipe shape, mounting points, sensor-port locations and package contents. Do not install the product if any connection is different. Emissions and modification requirements vary by jurisdiction and vehicle configuration. This product should not be used to remove, bypass or disable required emissions-control equipment. Confirm applicable local and federal requirements before purchase and installation. The product includes a 12-month limited warranty against eligible manufacturing defects. Unused and uninstalled products may be returned within 30 days in their original packaging, subject to the published Flashark return and warranty policies.
