First exhaust didn't fit as well as I liked and had a small leak, this fixed it and took away the cab drone.

Overview
The 3.0 Powerstroke delete pipe replaces the restrictive factory catalytic converter and DPF assembly on 2018-2020 Ford trucks equipped with the 3.0L Powerstroke diesel. Built with a 3' stainless turbo downpipe transitioning into 3.5' exhaust piping, the system reduces exhaust restriction at the turbo and throughout the mid-pipe section. The result is improved exhaust flow compared to the factory emissions assembly, making this DPF delete pipe suitable for race-use builds paired with proper tuning.

| System Type | DPF and catalytic converter replacement pipe |
| Mounting Style | OE-style exhaust hanger locations |
Key Features & Build Details
- 3' Stainless Turbo Downpipe - Positioned directly after the turbocharger where exhaust temperatures and pressure are highest. The larger diameter reduces restriction at the turbo outlet, allowing exhaust gases to exit more efficiently.
- 3.5' Main Exhaust Section - Increased pipe diameter improves exhaust flow capacity compared to the factory emissions assembly, supporting higher exhaust volume typical in tuned diesel applications.
- DPF and Catalytic Converter Replacement Section - Eliminates the factory diesel particulate filter and catalytic converter housing, which are among the largest restriction points in the stock exhaust system.
- OE-Style Exhaust Hangers - Factory-style hanger placement keeps the exhaust properly aligned and supported while maintaining compatibility with stock mounting points.
- Material Options for Different Operating Environments - Available in corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel for harsh climates or 409 stainless steel for cost-effective durability in moderate conditions.
Performance Benefits
- Reduced Exhaust Backpressure - Removing the factory DPF and catalytic converter allows exhaust gases to move more freely through the system.
- Improved Turbo Efficiency - Lower restriction directly after the turbo helps the turbocharger operate more efficiently under load.
- More Stable Exhaust Temperatures - Improved exhaust flow can help manage exhaust gas temperatures in tuned applications.
- Simplified Exhaust Layout - Eliminating the emissions filter assembly reduces complexity in the mid-pipe section of the exhaust.
Installation Notes
Designed to mount using factory exhaust hanger locations for straightforward alignment during installation. Standard exhaust tools are typically sufficient for experienced diesel technicians. ECM tuning is required after installing a DPF delete pipe to prevent fault codes and ensure proper engine operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pipe replace both the DPF and catalytic converter?
Yes. The system replaces the factory DPF and catalytic converter assembly in the mid-pipe section of the 3.0L Powerstroke engine exhaust.
Does this fit all 3.0L Powerstroke trucks?
It is designed for 2018-2020 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the 3.0L Powerstroke diesel engine. It does not fit other Powerstroke platforms.
Is tuning required after installation?
Yes. ECM tuning designed for DPF delete is required to prevent check engine lights and restore proper engine operation. We offer a complete EZ Lynk Powerstroke Tune Package (sold separately) that includes the AutoAgent 3 device and custom delete tuning. We also sell a Complete 3.0L Powerstroke delete kit that includes the exhaust components, EGR Block Off plates and tuning in one package.
What is the difference between 304 and 409 stainless steel?
304 stainless steel offers higher resistance to corrosion and road salt, making it better for wet or northern climates. 409 stainless steel is commonly used in exhaust systems and provides solid durability at a lower cost.
Does the system require fabrication to install?
No. The pipe is designed to use OE-style hanger locations so it aligns with factory mounting points without welding or fabrication.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 8 reviews.
quick and easy install
Performance is legit but Tuner Depot cheaped out on the bolts. Reused my old bolts.
Installed on 2019 F-150 no more choking on soot. Does the job. Sounds gnarly but the vibration at idles annoying.
OE hangers made install a breeze, turbo spools way faster now get a tune n enjoy
Mileage went up and exhaust flows free. Cough off-road use only obviously.
Solid pipe but one hanger was off a bit had to bend it myself. Still way better than stock tho no more DPF chokin the engine.
Does what it says but the welds look rough. Not leaking yet but I’m keeping an eye on it.
