I have a towtector one piece brush guard that goes across whole back bumper but I switched to a '23 chevy silverado. So now dual exhaust. (oval-ish) I contacted towtector and they can make one to fit for almost $600. Yikes. I may tried to fabricate mine to fit appropriately but wondering if anything out there that makes something to fit this vehicle that isn't price gouging?

I have this on both of my trucks. One 2019 3/4 ton Denali diesel and the other a 2020 1/2 ton Trailboss. Easy on/off easy to install also.

Removed the link as it is wrong! Get the rockstar full width tow flap

oooops posted right after you....is that bracket easy to attach to bumper?
Yup. It actually attaches to the frame. You take out a bolt on each end that holds the bumper on and install the small brackets. Easy

If I remember right it was 2 brackets with 2 bolts each. Once I figured out which way they mounted it took about 5 minutes to mount brackets and mud flaps

Couldn’t you just use a few self-tappers for some SS plates where the exhaust ports are now?

Actually hell of an idea! Was gonna cut the main frame and just lower cut piece down and weld a little angle iron or something. But I’ll investigate your idea sdmf! Thx!

Or were you refering to the Tow Tech cutouts they have available?

Edit: can't find those cut outs I found before. Looked like pain in the ass.I sold my guard to a buddy

Hmmm maybe?
I've had the same Totector on 3 different brands of trucks. Ford first, Ram 2nd and GMC last. Ford had the exhaust out the side in the rear so when I put it on the Ram with duals out the back, I got the kit from totector. I think it was like $80 to make it work for dual exhaust. Mine is the whiskers on the inside with rubber behind. The holes don't line up perfect for the GMC so I added some stainless to keep the exhaust from melting the whiskers. It isn't perfect but still works good and didn't have to get a new one.
