Fitment wasn’t the greatest could improve a lot
6.6L Duramax L5P 5 Inch Downpipe-Back Exhaust System | 2017–2026
The 6.6L Duramax L5P Delete Kit is a complete, tuner-ready off-road package that removes the factory DPF, DEF and EGR emissions systems in one go. It bundles the tuning interface, tune package, EGR & cooler delete hardware, and your choice of exhaust — so you delete, tune and drive without sourcing parts from five different places. Built for 2017–2026 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks with the 6.6L L5P Duramax engine.
If you tow, run high mileage, or push your truck hard, the factory emissions parts eventually cause problems — derates, rising exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and failure-prone components. This kit gives you one clean path forward.
What you receive depends on your model year. The table below shows exactly what's in the box for each year set.

Every part is picked to work as a set: the tuning interface with the correct credits for your year, the matching tune package, a full EGR and cooler delete, all block-off plates and hardware, exhaust and turbo gaskets, and your chosen exhaust. Want more? Optional TCM tuning and upgraded downpipes are available to sharpen shift strategy and improve exhaust flow.

Fitment is year- and ECM-specific, which is why you pick your exact model range when ordering. 2017–2019 trucks use the E41 ECM and work fully with the Unlock Tool process. 2020–2023 L5P trucks still run E41 hardware but use an updated unlock procedure. 2024–2026 trucks use the newer E42 platform and need external unlock service before tuning. Matching these platform differences is what separates a complete L5P Duramax delete kit from a generic bundle of parts.

Note: 2024–2026 Duramax tunes are single-calibration only and require separate E42 service. No SOTF (Switch On The Fly) options are available.
No. For 2024–2026 (E42 ECM) trucks, the ECM must be sent to HP Tuners to be unlocked before it can be tuned. That unlock service and the E42 service are not included in this kit. 2017–2023 trucks include the Unlock Tool Upgrade and don't need this.
It fits 2017–2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks with the GM 6.6L L5P Duramax Turbo Diesel V8. You select your exact year set (2017–2019, 2020–2023, or 2024–2026) when ordering.
2017–2023 trucks use the E41 ECM, which works with the included Unlock Tool process and supports 5-level SOTF tuning. 2024–2026 trucks use the newer E42 ECM, which needs external unlock service and gets a single-calibration tune only (no SOTF).
Always flash the calibration first. Flash the tune before removing any emissions hardware to keep the process clean and avoid issues.
No. SOTF with 0 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 150 HP levels is available on 2017–2023 trucks only. 2024–2026 trucks receive a single-calibration tune with no on-the-fly power switching.
No. This kit is designed for off-road and race use only. Removing factory emissions equipment is not legal for vehicles driven on public roads.
