A Full Delete Kit removes all emissions components that commonly fail—DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) systems. Our kits include the tuner, delete pipes, and any required sensors or block-off plates—customized for your truck’s make, model, and year.
Most of our customers install the kit themselves with basic tools in a garage or driveway. Average install time:
- DPF pipe: 1–2 hours
- EGR delete: 2–4 hours
- Tuning: 20–40 minutes
We include guides and offer full lifetime support.
Our custom tuning disables all emissions-related codes, CELs (Check Engine Lights), and regen cycles. Once the tune is installed, the truck will stop trying to regen or enter limp mode.
Delete kits are for off-road and race-use only. They are not legal for highway use in the U.S. or Canada, especially in states with strict emissions laws (like California). Many customers in rural areas or provinces without emissions testing still choose to delete for reliability and performance.
Many customers opt to electronically disable the EGR without physically removing it, especially for a cleaner engine bay or quicker install. Our tuners support both full deletes and “leave-in-place” disable setups.
Yes. Most customers report a gain of 2–5 MPG depending on driving style, tune level, and truck setup. You’ll also eliminate DEF refills and regen cycles, which further saves fuel.
No cutting or welding is needed for most applications. Our pipes bolt up directly to factory locations and use existing mounts and gaskets. We make it easy to return to stock if needed.
Deleting the DPF will make the exhaust louder. You’ll hear more turbo spool, engine tone, and exhaust note, especially with a straight pipe. We offer optional mufflers for those who want a quieter ride.
