Mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel tubing feeds into a pair of 4-inch black ceramic-coated T-304 stainless rolled slash-cut tips — one exiting behind each rear wheel. Part number 65677B is a direct bolt-on with no welding, no cutting, and all hardware included. 50-state legal. Made in the USA.

The Gibson 65677B replaces all of that with mandrel-bent 409 stainless tubing and a Superflow CFT muffler — baffled and chambered with no internal packing material that can break down over time. The result is a deep, muscular exhaust note that fits the profile of a 6.2L V8 in a full-size luxury SUV: present and authoritative at idle, aggressive under hard acceleration, composed at highway cruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the 65677B from Gibson's standard stainless lineup are the tips. The Black Elite Series uses T-304 stainless tips finished with a black ceramic coating — bonded at the molecular level, not painted on. They resist heat cycles, road salt, and moisture without fading or peeling. One tip exits cleanly behind each rear wheel, symmetrical and purposeful against the factory fascia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eGibson 65677B Full Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e65677B\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e677418031270\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack Elite\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSystem Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCat-Back Dual Split\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Tubing Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.5 in. \/ 2.25 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInlet Inside Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.0 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTubing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e409 Stainless Steel, Mandrel-Bent\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMuffler Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGibson Superflow CFT — Baffled \u0026amp; Chambered, No Internal Packing\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMuffler Body Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 × 9 × 18 in.

All factory-style rubber hangers and clamps are included. Most owners complete the install in two to three hours with basic hand tools and a lift or jack stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood the Superflow CFT muffler handles the sound engineering.

The \u003cstrong\u003e65677B\u003c\/strong\u003e is specifically the Black Elite variant — the black ceramic tip finish is the defining feature of the B suffix. The underlying tubing, muffler, and routing are the same between the two; it comes down to which tip finish suits your build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Gibson 65677B fit the standard Cadillac Escalade (non-ESV)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The 65677B is engineered for the Escalade ESV — the extended wheelbase version. The standard shorter-wheelbase Escalade has different underbody routing and is not a fitment for part number 65677B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 65677B fit the GMC Yukon XL SLE or SLT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The 65677B fits the GMC Yukon XL Denali 6.2L only. The SLE and SLT trims run the 5.3L engine and have a different exhaust configuration. If you have a Yukon XL SLE or SLT you'll need a different part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill installing the Gibson 65677B void my Cadillac or GMC factory warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits dealers from voiding your factory powertrain warranty solely because you installed an aftermarket bolt-on exhaust. The dealer would have to prove the 65677B directly caused a specific failure. Gibson's Lifetime Limited Warranty additionally covers the exhaust system itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Gibson 65677B 50-state legal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 65677B is a cat-back system that replaces components downstream of the catalytic converters only. It does not alter or remove any emissions control equipment. Cat-back systems are emissions-exempt in all 50 states including California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the black ceramic coating hold up over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGibson's black ceramic finish on the 65677B tips is a high-temperature ceramic coat, not a paint or powder coat. It bonds directly to the T-304 stainless steel and withstands the heat cycles, road salt, and moisture that would fade or chip conventional black coatings. Under normal use the finish holds its appearance for the life of the exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Gibson 65677B fit with a factory trailer hitch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe dual split exit routes one tip behind each rear wheel rather than center-exit, which generally clears factory receiver hitches. However, aftermarket receiver extensions or weight-distribution hitches vary in size — verify clearance if you run non-factory towing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much horsepower does the 65677B add to the Escalade ESV 6.2L?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGibson's dyno testing shows 10–15 horsepower and 15–20 lb-ft of torque gains in the 1,800–3,000 RPM range on the 6.2L V8. These are wheel horsepower figures measured on a chassis dynamometer against the stock exhaust system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between 409 and T-304 stainless on the 65677B?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 65677B uses 409 ferritic stainless steel for the mandrel-bent tubing — excellent heat and corrosion resistance for the high-temperature pipe sections. The tips are T-304 austenitic stainless, which is more corrosion-resistant and accepts the black ceramic coating more cleanly, resulting in the sharp, durable finish the Black Elite Series is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Gibson 65677B made in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Gibson Performance Exhaust manufactures the 65677B at their facility in Corona, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Gibson's Lifetime Limited Warranty cover on the 65677B?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGibson's Lifetime Limited Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser's vehicle. It is separate from and in addition to your factory vehicle warranty, which remains intact under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45891234627663,"sku":"GIB65677B","price":722.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/gibson-black-elite-cat-back-exhaust-cadillac-escalade-esv.jpg?v=1781820777","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/gibson-65677b-black-elite-cat-back-exhaust-2015-2020-escalade-esv-yukon-xl-denali","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
