FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2.8L Duramax DPF Delete Exhaust

What does deleting the DPF on a 2.8L Duramax do?

Deleting the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) on your 2.8L Duramax removes restrictions from the exhaust system, resulting in better airflow, lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), improved fuel economy, and increased horsepower and torque. It’s a popular off-road performance upgrade.

Is a DPF delete legal on my 2016–2019 Duramax?

No, DPF delete kits are intended for off-road or race use only. Removing emissions equipment on a street-driven truck is illegal in many regions, including the U.S. and Canada. Always check your local emissions laws before purchasing or installing.

Will this turbo-back exhaust fit my stock Duramax without cutting or welding?

Yes. This system is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for your OEM exhaust. It includes all necessary hardware, pre-welded hangers, and heavy-duty clamps to simplify installation with no cutting or welding required.

Do I need a tuner after installing a DPF delete exhaust?

Yes. After deleting the DPF, your truck's ECU will need to be reprogrammed to disable emissions-related trouble codes and ensure proper engine performance. Compatible tuners include EZ Lynk, HP Tuners, and EFI Live.

Does this DPF delete kit come with everything I need?

Yes. The kit includes the full 3" turbo-back exhaust system, muffler, DPF delete pipe, pre-welded hangers, stainless clamps, and all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation.

Will this work on a Cab & Chassis Duramax model?

No. The Cab & Chassis frames are longer and require a specific exhaust system. Please check our Cab & Chassis-specific kits or contact us for help selecting the correct system for your truck.
