What's a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe?
A 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe is a straight-through exhaust pipe designed to physically remove and replace the factory Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), commonly referred to as adelete pipe.
This DPF delete pipe replaces the factory-installed, restrictive DPF system, are a common upgrade for Powerstroke owners looking for improved throttle response, a more aggressive exhaust tone, and better support for aftermarket tuning.
6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe Materials & Quality
Our 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipes are built for durability and performance.
Available Features:
- Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow
- 4” and 5” diameter options
- 409 or 304 stainless steel construction
- TIG-welded joints
- Optional sensor bungs (model-dependent)
Every pipe is designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh diesel conditions.
Key Benefits of Installing a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe
- Reliability: Eliminate sensitive exhaust sensors to prevent frequent "Limp Mode."
- Fuel Efficiency: End fuel-wasting "Regen" cycles to get more miles from every tank.
- Engine Longevity: Reduce backpressure on the turbo to extend the life of your engine.
- Lower Maintenance: End expensive DPF filter cleanings and the need for DEF fluid.
- Better Cooling: Drop EGTs significantly by allowing exhaust to flow freely.
- Performance: Enjoy much faster turbo spooling and smoother throttle response.
6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe: Deleted vs. Stock
| Dimension |
Stock Exhaust |
Delete Pipe |
| Horsepower |
Factory limited (397–475 HP); prone to heat soak under heavy load. |
Increased; Custom tuning unlocks 50–150+ HP by optimizing fuel and air maps. |
| Fuel Economy |
Lower; Significant fuel is wasted during regen cycles to burn off soot. |
Improved; Eliminating regens and restriction typically gains 2–5 MPG. |
| Maintenance Cost |
High; Requires regular DEF refills and expensive DPF/SCR sensor repairs. |
Minimal; No more DEF fluid costs or expensive emissions component replacements. |
| Reliability |
Moderate; DPF clogging and sensor failures are leading causes of limp mode. |
Significantly Enhanced; Removes the highest-failure components for maximum uptime. |
| Exhaust Gas Temp |
High; Restrictive filters trap heat; EGTs spike dangerously during regeneration. |
Lower EGTs; Improved flow drops operating temperatures by 150–200°F. |
| Legal Status |
Street Legal; EPA and CARB compliant. |
Off-Road / Competition Use Only. |
| Exhaust Flow |
Restricted; Multiple filters and catalysts create a bottleneck for exhaust gases. |
Maximum; A straight-through design allows the engine to "breathe" without restriction. |
| Backpressure |
High; Forced through dense ceramic filters, increasing stress on the turbocharger. |
Minimal; Significantly reduces backpressure, extending the life of the turbo. |
| Sound |
Quiet; The DPF and SCR act as heavy mufflers, silencing the diesel tone. |
Aggressive; Unlocks the signature deep growl and distinct turbo whistle. |
| Supports Tuning |
Only supports factory-emissions-compliant software. |
Required; Must be paired with a delete-capable tuner to prevent engine codes. |

How to Install a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe
Installing a 6.7L Powerstroke Delete Pipe (2011–present) replaces the factory emissions exhaust components with a high-flow pipe to reduce exhaust restriction, lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and improve overall drivability.
Installation Steps
- PCM Preparation & Tuning: Before removing any exhaust hardware, the PCM is updated using a supported tuner. This step disables emissions-related diagnostics and prevents check engine lights or limp mode once the factory components are removed.
- Factory Exhaust Removal: The factory exhaust section containing the DPF (and SCR/DEF components on newer models) is unbolted and removed. Sensors such as EGT and NOx are disconnected or electronically bypassed as required by the tuning.
- Delete Pipe Installation: The 4” or 5” delete pipe is installed in place of the factory emissions exhaust. These pipes are designed to align with factory hangers and provide proper clearance around the frame, transmission crossmember, and driveline.
- Sensor & Connection Verification: Any required sensor plugs or fittings are installed, and all clamps are aligned and tightened to ensure a leak-free seal.
- System Check & Final Verification: After installation, the engine is started and checked for exhaust leaks. The tuner is used to clear any remaining diagnostic codes and verify normal operation during a short test drive.
Note: Every EngineGo kit includes a comprehensive, model-specific guide to ensure your installation is seamless and your fitment is guaranteed. For technical deep-dives, step-by-step photos, and specific torque specs, you can find detailed information under the "Installation Guide" tab on every product page.
Don't Forget: A Delete Pipe Requires Tuning
Installing a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe physically removes sensors. You must pair this with a tuner to prevent the truck from entering 'Limp Mode'."

FAQ
Do I need a tuner with a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe?
Yes. Removing the DPF and CAT removes critical pressure sensors. Without a delete-capable tuner (like EZ Lynk), your truck will throw engine codes and enter limp mode.
What is the difference between a 4-inch and 5-inch delete pipe?
A 4-inch pipe is sufficient for stock turbo setups and up to 600HP. A 5-inch pipe offers a deeper sound and is better for high-horsepower builds (700HP+) to maximize flow.
Will this void my Ford warranty?
Yes. altering the emissions system will void the powertrain warranty. These parts are strictly for off-road competition vehicles.
What does a 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Pipe do?
A delete pipe removes restrictive exhaust components to improve exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and support off-road performance tuning.
Is a delete pipe the same as a DPF delete?
A DPF delete pipe is a specific type of delete pipe that replaces the diesel particulate filter section.
Does a delete pipe increase horsepower?
On its own, gains are modest. When paired with tuning, delete pipes help support significant power increases.
