Best DPF Delete Kits for 6.7 Cummins: Top Picks & Installation Guide

What's the best delete kit for a 6.7 Cummins? The one built for your truck's model year. It sounds like a dodge, but it's the whole answer, and once you know your year the rest of the decision gets a lot shorter.

We get it. A lineup of bundles that share nearly the same name looks like a wall of part numbers, and nobody wants to find out on the shop floor that the box doesn't match the truck. Whether your Cummins is a sled-pull workhorse or a weekend race build, let's break it down by model year first, then the tuner, then the install order.

Which 6.7 Cummins Delete Bundle Fits Your Truck, and What Does It Cost?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle comes in 2007-2009, 2010-2012, 2013-2018, 2019-2021, 2022-2024, 2025 and 2026 versions. The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2007-2009 starts at $1,634. The 2022-2024, 2025 and 2026 full bundles top out at $7,134. Both versions of the 2013-2018 bundle pair a tuner with a rotary switch, the 4" DPF and CAT delete pipe, and the complete EGR delete kit.^[1]

Here's the whole lineup side by side. Find your year in the left column, then read across.

Cummins engines have been an option in Ram pickups since 1989.^[2] Plenty of history, plenty of model years. Yours is the one that counts.

Finding Your Model Year Before You Shop

Start with the truck, not the parts. Pull the model year off your paperwork instead of going from memory, because the year sitting right at the edge of a bracket is exactly where people get burned.

Then look at the back of the truck. A bed means pickup, and a bare frame carrying a flatbed or a service body is a different animal. That answer matters just as much as the year does.

What the Price Range Covers

Most of these are priced as a range rather than a single sticker. Read the low number as where your bracket starts and the high number as the top of it. Budget to the top until you've settled on your exact version.

Here's the thing — the price that matters is the one on your year's row. Read the table across, not down, and don't let a cheaper row for a different year talk you into the wrong kit.

What a Full Delete Bundle Includes

A lot of guys assume any pipe they bolt in will finish the job. A pipe alone is not a kit. Doing half of it is like changing the oil and skipping the filter: you did some work, and you're not done.

The by-year sections below spell out exactly which pieces ship with yours. Find your row, then jump to your year.

Which Delete Kit Fits a 2007-2009 6.7 Cummins?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2007-2009 is priced from $1,634 to $2,359. It fits 2007, 2008, and 2009 Ram 2500/3500 pickups, all trims and box lengths, but not Cab & Chassis.^[4] The new 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine replaced the 5.9-liter engine.^[3]

EFI Live or EZ Lynk on an Early 6.7

Here's where you pick your side. The EFI Live bundle ships with the tuner, delete tune software (emailed after purchase), and a rotary switch; the EZ Lynk bundle comes with preloaded tunes and connects to your phone via the AutoAgent app for live monitoring.^[4]

Want the tunes already loaded when the box opens? Hold that thought for the tuner section, where the setup differences get laid out side by side.

What Came on the First 6.7 Trucks

If you own a first-year truck, it helps to know what left the factory. The 6.7-liter Cummins became available in 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models beginning January 2007.^[3] The 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel was mated to a new six-speed 68RFE automatic transmission.^[3]

2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks use an electronically-controlled Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) that precisely matches boost pressure with the engine.^[3] That's a lot of hardware working together. Know what's bolted to yours before you start pulling parts.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2007-2009

For a 2007, 2008 or 2009 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the bundle to order. Our pick for these early trucks is the EZ Lynk version. Already living out of EFI Live on a shop laptop? Then stick with what you know.

Which Delete Kit Fits a 2010-2012 6.7 Cummins?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2010-2012 is priced from $1,884 to $3,034. The 2010-2012 bundle fits 2010, 2011, and 2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins across all pickup trims and cab and box lengths.^[5] Both versions pair a tuner with the 4" DPF and CAT delete pipe and the EGR delete kit.

Two Versions, One Set of Hardware

The EFI Live bundle pairs the EFI Live tuner (delete software emailed after purchase) with the 4" pipe and EGR kit.^[5] The EZ Lynk bundle pairs the EZ Lynk tuner (preloaded delete tunes) with the same pipe and EGR kit.^[5]

So the only real decision in this bracket is the tuner. Make it once, make it right, and the rest is wrenching.

If Your Truck Is a Cab & Chassis

Running a Cab & Chassis? It does not fit Cab & Chassis trucks; call (888) 830-2588 for those.^[5] A five-minute call beats a crate of parts that won't bolt up.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2010-2012

For a 2010, 2011 or 2012 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the one. Our pick here is the EZ Lynk version, and the tuner section further down lays out why.

What Is the Best Delete Kit for a 2013-2018 Cummins, Including the 2015, 2017 and 2018?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2013-2018 is priced from $1,932 to $2,959. The 2013-2018 bundle fits the 2013 through 2018 Ram 6.7L 2500 and 3500 across all pickup trims and box lengths, but not Cab & Chassis trucks.^[1] Every version ships with the 4" DPF and CAT delete pipe and the complete EGR delete kit.

Which 2013-2018 Trucks This Covers

Shopping for one year in that range? The 2013-2018 kit covers the Ram 2500 and 3500 with the Mega Cab included.^[1] It covers a 2015, a 2017 and a 2018 exactly the way it covers a 2013.

Wondering why Cab & Chassis trucks keep getting left out? For model year 2018, the Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel was an option for RAM 2500 and 3500 pickups and for RAM 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs.^[6] Check the body before you check the price, every time.

For context, here's the factory number. The 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel produces up to 385 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 900 lb-ft of torque, depending on application.^[7] That's stock, and it's a stout place to start.

How the Pipe and EGR Kit Go In

The 4" rust-resistant DPF and CAT delete pipe bolts in where the factory units were, and the EGR delete kit seals off the EGR passages so hot exhaust gases stop recirculating into your intake.^[1] No cutting and no welding, since both use bolts and clamps that we provide.^[1]

That's a wrench job, not a fabrication job. Snap a few photos of the factory routing before anything comes off, because future you will want them.

What Happens Between Ordering and Installing

After purchase you'll get a vehicle info form, and we need 2-3 days to process your custom tune.^[1] Fill that form out the day it shows up and the clock starts sooner.

Use the wait. Get the truck on stands, soak any crusty exhaust hardware with penetrant, and settle the tuner question before the box arrives.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2013-2018

For a 2015, 2017 or 2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the bundle to buy. Our pick is the EZ Lynk version, and the tuner section below shows why.

Which Delete Kit Fits a 2019, 2020 or 2021 Cummins?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2019-2021 is priced from $2,494 to $3,109. The 2019-2021 bundle fits all 2019, 2020 and 2021 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trims, cab and box lengths, but not Cab & Chassis.^[8] The 2019-2021 kit uses the Ez Lynk Auto Agent 3.0, preloaded with your custom delete tunes.^[8] The 2019-2021 kit also includes a bypass cable and a shift-on-the-fly switch.^[8]

One Tuner for This Bracket

The good news? There's no tuner debate in this bracket, so your energy goes into the wrenching instead of the shopping.

It helps to know what that tune is working with. The next-generation Cummins 6.7L inline-six turbo diesel is offered in two variants: standard output at 370 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque, and high output at 400 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque.^[9] The next-generation 6.7L engine uses a compacted graphite iron engine block that increases peak cylinder pressure capability.^[9]

That's the workhorse under your hood. Treat it like one.

The Extra Parts in This Kit

On the 2019-2021 kit, you remove the DPF and CAT with the included 4" rust-resistant delete pipe, and the EGR with the included complete EGR delete kit.^[8] The delete pipe and EGR kit are fully bolt-on with no welding.^[8]

Find the bypass cable and the shift-on-the-fly switch first and set them on the dash, so they don't ride out to the trash with the cardboard. Small parts vanish fast in a busy shop.

Transmission Tuning on the 68RFE

Transmission tuning is included for the 68RFE, adjusting shift points and line pressure for the added torque.^[8] On RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 68RFE automatic, the 6.7L Cummins is rated at 370 hp and 850 lb-ft.^[10]

That part matters more than people think. A transmission left on its old shift plan is like a drummer playing a different song than the band.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2019-2021

For a 2019, 2020 or 2021 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the bundle to order. Order it, then go clear some bench space.

What Are Your Delete Options for a 2022, 2023 or 2024 Cummins?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2022-2024 is priced from $6,834 to $7,134. The Ram Cummins 6.7 EZ-Lynk Full Delete Bundle for 2022-2024 is priced from $3,098 to $3,448. The 2022-2024 Cummins Delete Tuning Kit is priced at $5,899. The full bundle ships with a MOPAR ECM.

Why These Trucks Need a Different Approach

If you've done an older Cummins, this is where the playbook changes. The 2022–2024 Cummins uses updated ECM architecture, so it needs a different approach than earlier trucks.^[11] Instead of an OBD-II plug-in, the tuning solution comes with a MOPAR ECM and you keep your original ECM in case you ever want to revert to factory.^[11]

That factory ECM is your insurance policy. Shelve it somewhere dry, label it, and don't lend it out.

So what is that box, exactly? An electronic engine control unit is the central controller of the engine management system.^[12] The electronic engine control unit controls the fuel supply, air management and fuel injection.^[12]

For reference, here are the factory ratings. The 6.7-liter Cummins Standard-Output Turbo Diesel produces 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque in the Ram 2500 and 3500.^[13] The 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel produces 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque in the Ram 3500.^[13]

The Full Bundle, Piece by Piece

The 2022-2024 full bundle fits 2022, 2023, and 2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins, all pickup trims and cab and box lengths.^[11] You get the RaceMe Ultra with monitor and shift-on-the-fly control, all required cables, the pre-flashed MOPAR ECM, the 4" full exhaust (downpipe to tip), and the EGR delete kit with all hardware.^[11]

Count it all before the truck goes on stands. Missing a cable at hour three is how a Saturday turns into a Monday.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2022-2024

For a 2022, 2023 or 2024 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup that needs the whole job done, this is the bundle we'd point you to. It's the one box that covers the tuner, the ECM, the exhaust and the EGR side together.

The EZ-Lynk Bundle and What to Confirm First

The Ram Cummins 6.7 EZ-Lynk Full Delete Bundle is listed for 2022, 2023 and 2024 trucks with the Cummins 6.7L. We're not going to guess at what's inside it, so call before you order and have the shop confirm exactly what ships with it.

Don't assume it matches the full bundle piece for piece. A price is only half the picture until you know what's in the box.

Does the 2022-2024 Tuning Kit Cost Less Than the Full Bundle?

The 2022-2024 Cummins Delete Tuning Kit costs $5,899. The tuning kit comes with the RaceME Ultra, all required cables, the MOPAR ECM, and instructions emailed after purchase.^[14] The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2022-2024 costs $6,834 to $7,134. The bundle also includes a 4" full exhaust system and a complete EGR delete kit.

What the Tuning Kit Leaves Out

Yes — on sticker price alone, the tuning kit comes in under the full bundle. Here's the thing — price the job, not the box. If your truck still needs the exhaust and the EGR side, add those to the math before you call the tuning kit the cheaper road.

Automatic Versus Other Transmissions

68RFE transmission tuning is included for automatic trucks; other transmissions get power tuning only.^[14] The tuning kit fits pickup models only, in all cab and box lengths, and does not fit Cab & Chassis trucks.^[14]

Know which transmission is bolted behind your Cummins before you order. It takes thirty seconds and saves an awkward phone call later.

Ordering a Built-to-Order Tuner

Built-to-order, not eligible for returns, but our team stands behind every tuner.^[14] So measure twice and order once.

Confirm the year, the body style and the transmission, then pull the trigger. A tuner built for your truck is a one-way trip.

2022-2024 Cummins Delete Tuning Kit

If the exhaust and EGR side of your 2022, 2023 or 2024 Ram is already handled, this is the kit to look at. If not, the full bundle is the cleaner buy.

Which Delete Bundle Fits a 2025 or 2026 Cummins?

The Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for 2025 is priced from $6,834 to $7,134. The 2026 bundle carries the same $6,834 to $7,134 price. The 2025 bundle includes a RaceMe Ultra delete tuner, a MOPAR ECM, a 4" full exhaust system and a complete EGR delete kit.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2025

The 2025 bundle fits the 2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins across all pickup trims, cab styles, and box lengths, but does not fit Cab & Chassis trucks.^[16] Check the body style twice on these trucks. The Cummins 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel engine system is offered in the 2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups and in Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks.^[15]

The 2025 Ram 2500 now offers the Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel engine.^[17] The all-new 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel is rated at 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque.^[17] For a 2025 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the bundle to order.

Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle | 2026

The 2026 bundle fits the 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins in all pickup trims and box lengths, but not Cab & Chassis.^[18] You get the RaceMe Ultra delete tuner, a MOPAR ECM, a 4" full exhaust system, and a complete EGR delete kit, all in one order.^[18]

The RaceMe Ultra includes a monitor and shift-on-the-fly tuning with no re-flashing to change power settings, plus 68RFE transmission tuning for the added torque.^[18] That's exactly the kind of feature you want on a competition build between rounds. For a 2026 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, this is the one.

Why These Trucks Take an ECM Swap

The 2025 Cummins uses the same ECM architecture as the 2022-2024 trucks, which means it needs the MOPAR ECM swap rather than plug-in OBDII tuning.^[16] Think of the ECM as the truck's brain. On these years you're not reprogramming the old one; you're swapping in a new one that already knows the plan.

Which Delete Tuner Is Best for Your 6.7 Cummins?

Start with your model year. On the 2013-2018 bundle, EFI Live runs four power settings.^[1] On the 2013-2018 bundle, EZ Lynk runs five power settings.^[1] EFI Live loads tunes from a Windows 10 or 11 PC.^[5] EZ Lynk monitors through the AutoAgent app and is plug-and-play.^[5]

EFI Live or EZ Lynk

Here's the thing — this one comes down to how you like to work. Want to watch the truck live from your phone? Go EZ Lynk.

Already run EFI Live and keep a Windows laptop in the shop? Stick with it. Where the bundle gives you the choice, our pick is EZ Lynk.

Going Back to Stock

EZ Lynk reverts to factory from the device; EFI Live needs a dealership ECM flash.^[5] If there's any chance this truck goes back to stock someday, that difference is worth more than any power setting.

Running a 2019-2021? Your tuner is already decided, so scroll back up to that section.

The RaceME Ultra on 2022 and Newer Trucks

The RaceME Ultra comes preloaded with your custom tune — no Windows PC required.^[14] Preloaded doesn't mean you push it on day one. Start low, watch what the truck does on the dyno, and step up from there.

Worth remembering what you're actually tuning. An engine control unit is also able to control the exhaust system and to integrate transmission and vehicle functions.^[12] That's a lot riding on one box, so give it the respect it's due.

How Does a 6.7 Cummins Delete Kit Install, Step by Step?

On the 2010-2012 bundle, the tune is loaded first, then the 4" DPF and CAT delete pipe and the EGR delete kit go in.^[5] With the 2022-2024 bundle you swap the ECM, connect the RaceMe Ultra, bolt in the exhaust, and finish the EGR delete.^[11] The 2025 bundle's MOPAR ECM takes 8-10 business days to ship.^[16]

The Factory Parts You Are Replacing

Know the factory hardware before it comes off. The 6.7-liter Dodge Ram Heavy Duty exhaust system uses a self-cleaning Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).^[3] The 6.7-liter Cummins EGR system is water cooled, with the air reintroduced into the intake system.^[3]

Snap photos of both before a single bolt comes loose. Guessing at routing mid-install is how a one-day job turns into three.

Tune First, Then Hardware

Order of operations matters, and patience pays here. Before a single bolt comes loose, run through this:

- Confirm the model year and that the truck is a pickup - Lay out every part and check it against what you ordered - Charge whatever the tuner talks through, laptop or phone - Photograph the factory routing from a couple of angles - Soak the exhaust hardware with penetrant the night before

Tune first, iron second. Load it, confirm it took, and only then start unbolting.

The ECM Swap on 2022 and Newer Trucks

You swap in the new MOPAR ECM, plug the tuner into your OBDII port under the steering wheel, and follow the included instructions.^[14] The ECM swap requires removing your old ECM and installing the new one; consult a professional if you're not familiar with those steps.^[16]

No shame in that last part. A second set of experienced hands is cheap next to a do-over.

Lead Time Before the ECM Arrives

After you order, you submit your VIN and vehicle info; allow 8–10 business days to build the tune and ship.^[11] Plan around that window.

Get the truck on stands the weekend the box is due, not the weekend you order. A rig sitting half-apart while you wait on parts is nobody's idea of fun.
