Banks Power 48996-B Monster Exhaust System 5" DPF-Back Black Tip 2017-2019 Duramax L5P

The Banks Power Monster Exhaust System is a high-performance DPF-back exhaust upgrade engineered specifically for 2017-2019 GM 6.6L Duramax L5P 2500/3500 HD pickup trucks. This complete exhaust system features constant-diameter 5-inch mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing that virtually eliminates backpressure after the DPF while preventing dangerous trailer meltdown during regeneration cycles.

Performance Benefits:

• 85% less backpressure compared to stock exhaust for increased power and fuel economy
• 192% greater flow area than the stock 2.85-inch outlet
• 15% reduction in exhaust gas temperature two feet behind the tip during regeneration
• Massive 5-inch outlet diameter throughout the entire system

Trailer Protection Technology:

• Side-exit exhaust tip design diverts superheated regeneration gases away from trailers
• Allows ambient air to diffuse heated exhaust gas during 20-minute regen cycles
• Eliminates the risk of melting trailer components from prolonged exposure to 1000°F+ exhaust temperatures
• Patented 6.5" x 7.5" ob-round slash-cut tip in high-temp matte black finish

Premium Construction:

• Mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing maintains consistent 5-inch diameter for maximum flow
• High-temperature matte black tip finish resists discoloration from heat
• Patented tip design optimizes exhaust dispersion
• Direct bolt-on installation with all necessary hardware included

The Banks Monster Exhaust addresses a critical issue with L5P Duramax trucks during Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration. During this cleaning process, exhaust gas temperatures can exceed 1000°F for up to 20 minutes while driving. The stock exhaust directs this jet-like blast of superheated gas directly at anything being towed, which has caused melted trailer components for many Duramax owners. The Monster Exhaust's side-exit design safely disperses these gases away from your trailer.

This system fits all 2017-2019 Silverado/Sierra L5P configurations including regular cab short bed, double cab short bed, double cab long bed, crew cab short bed, crew cab long bed, and dually models. Part number 48996-B features the black tip finish, while part number 48996 includes a chrome-plated polished stainless steel tip.
