Exhaust damage?

[DangerRanger13]

Hey all,

I have tried searching the mighty google for an answer but can’t get an answer. I was installing some new running boards on my 21 6.2 Trail Boss and I saw the Y pipe just after the cats where it crosses over and it appears flat? I’m not sure if this is a clearance design from the factory or a uh… “feature” from me using the truck as intended.

If anyone is willing to take a look under their truck and tell me if I’m looking at damage or how Chevy designed it would be greatly appreciated!

It's a clearance design, mine is the same way on my 2021 6.2. I had thought about buying a new Y-pipe and high-flow cats from Kooks just to improve the flow, but it requires their long tube headers as well. Too expensive, once it's all added up lol.

Borla is also an option to fix that...
