One of The Most Common Mods: DPF Delete

The DPF traps soot from your exhaust but eventually clogs and causes high backpressure. Deleting it means replacing the factory DPF-equipped exhaust pipe with a straight-through pipe or full exhaust system. This frees up exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and improving horsepower and throttle response. The basic options are:

  • DPF Delete Pipe (Some called Race Pipe): Replaces just the front exhaust pipe with a straight pipe. If your existing backpipe is in good shape, this is the simplest way to remove the DPF without changing the entire system.
  • 4″/5″ Downpipe-Back Straight Exhaust: A full replacement from the turbo outlet all the way back. The 5 inches in diameter maximizes flow at high RPM for the biggest power gains, but it is the loudest option. 4″ Also replaces the full exhaust, but quieter than the 5″ and still offers excellent flow.

Table: DPF delete kit options by year/model

➡️ Most customers’ and our editor’s choice: The 5″ Downpipe-Back Straight Exhaust (The last item in the table). This exhaust does not include a muffler. It is a true straight pipe setup that delivers pure performance gains and provides the best overall driving experience.

Before installing any DPF delete, you must also install a tuner so the engine’s computer knows the filter is gone. A good choice is a Mini Maxx V2 or similar delete-capable tuner. it will disable DPF-related fault codes and let the engine run properly after the hardware changes. Buy it here: Mini Maxx V2.

Another Popular Mod: EGR Delete

The EGR system recirculates some exhaust gas back into the intake to reduce NOx emissions. It causes carbon and soot to build up in the intake tract and on valves, hurting efficiency and longevity. An EGR delete blocks or bypasses this system so that no exhaust is sent back into the intake. The result is cleaner intake air and less carbon buildup, which improves reliability and idle quality.

We offer dedicated EGR delete kits for each model-year group (2011–2014, 2015–2016, 2017–2019), and even in different colors so you can match your truck or style. Each kit contains the block-off plates and any necessary hardware.

➡️ You may notice that the recommended products above all come with Coolant (Flow) Bypass. This feature minimizes modifications to your factory cooling system, ensuring smooth and balanced coolant flow and preventing potential cooling issues after removing the EGR. We highly recommend choosing this type. However, you can also click “View details” to find options without Coolant (Flow) Bypass.

As with a DPF delete, you must flash a delete tune when installing an EGR delete. The tuner (e.g. Mini Maxx V2) will prevent any check-engine lights and ensure the engine runs smoothly without the EGR. Link is here: Mini Maxx V2.

The Most Preferred and Most Hassle-free Option: All-in-One Delete Kit

For the easiest solution, our All-in-One Delete Kit bundles everything: the delete exhaust, the EGR delete kit, and a tune programmer. This also known as complete delete kit (with a tuner). Physically, this kit removes the factory DPF and EGR hardware; electronically, the included tuner loads custom calibration that deletes all related fault codes and disables the DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) system. You also skip compatibility hassles, we ensure every component works together.

Bonus Upgrade: CCV Delete

The Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system on the 6.7L vents blow-by gases back into the intake. Over time, this oil vapor fouls the intercooler and intake pipes, reducing efficiency. A CCV delete (or reroute) kits vent these crankcase gases outside of the intake, usually through an external port.

We offer CCV delete kits, with optional built-in catch cans in various colors. The most popular is the Standard CCV Delete (Black) with Internal Catch Can. This version completely bypasses the factory CCV unit and captures oil internally. Other styles (dual catch cans, external catch can setups, different colors) are also available via our product link.

An extra tip: Why 2015–2016 Are Different

Ford made several changes to the 6.7L Powerstroke over the years. In general:

  • 2011–2014: First-generation 6.7L. These engines have a relatively simple emissions setup with fewer sensors, making deletes straightforward. Most kits and tunes on the market fit these years with minimal fuss. Owners of 2011–14 trucks often see the biggest jump in throttle response and fewer regen events after a delete, since the original system was more restrictive.
  • 2015–2016: Ford introduced a new-generation 6.7L in 2015 (some call it 2015.5). Turbo, injector, and ECU changes came with about the same 440 hp but higher torque. The exhaust routing and sensors were updated for emissions. Because of these mid-cycle updates, delete kits for 2015–16 are specially designed to fit the revised engine bay and hardware layout. In other words, you must use a kit labeled for 2015 or later so that brackets, hoses, and O2 sensor bungs line up correctly.
  • 2017–2019: In 2017 Ford rolled out a new Super Duty truck but kept the second-gen 6.7L engine (still 440 hp, now up to 925 lb-ft in some models). The intake, exhaust paths, and sensors were again modified (for example, the EGR cooler and position were changed). The computers on 2017+ trucks are also more sensitive and encrypted. As a result, deletes on 2017–19 models require very precise tuning. We bundle these year’s kits with advanced tuners that “speak” the ECU language, which is critical for maximum performance and drivability.
  • 2020 and Newer: The newest Super Duty (2020+) uses a significantly updated 6.7L (often called Gen 3). It has even stricter emissions hardware and programming. Only a few delete solutions exist for 2020+, and they use the latest parts and tuning. Kits for 2020+ have newly designed components to fit the updated exhaust, and they require the newest tuners to work with the complex engine controls.

In summary, always match your kit to the year range: 2011–2014, 2015–2016, or 2017–2019. Each block of years may have its own kit design. When you select by year, you’ll avoid fitment issues.
