Cat & DPF Delete Pipe for Your 6.7 Powerstroke
If you're considering deleting the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and CAT (Catalytic Converter) systems from your 6.7L Ford Powerstroke, it’s essential to choose the right products for optimal performance while ensuring safe and proper installation. This modification can significantly boost your truck's performance, fuel economy, and longevity.
Why Delete the DPF, CAT, and EGR?
The DPF and CAT systems in modern diesel trucks, while designed for emissions compliance, often limit your engine’s performance. Removing these systems reduces exhaust backpressure, which allows the engine to breathe more freely, resulting in:
- Increased Horsepower and Torque: Deleting these components can add between 30 to 100 HP, depending on your truck and tuner settings.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Expect a fuel mileage increase of up to 5 miles per gallon by reducing restrictions in your exhaust.
- Longer Engine Life: By avoiding the soot and carbon buildup that comes from the EGR and DPF systems, your engine experiences less wear and tear
