FAQs

Q1: Do I need a tuner if I install a DPF or EGR delete kit on my 2.8L Duramax?
A: Yes. If you're removing the DPF system, a tuner is required to disable emissions codes and keep your truck running properly. The EGR delete kit alone may not require tuning, but for optimal performance, a tune is still recommended.

Q2: Will these deletes cause any check engine lights or warning messages?
A: Without proper tuning, removing emissions components will trigger warning lights and may cause limp mode. Using a compatible tuner will eliminate these issues.

Q3: Are your delete kits compatible with both Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon models?
A: Yes. All of our 2.8L Duramax delete kits are designed to fit 2016–2019 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks with the LWN diesel engine.

Q4: Will installing a delete kit void my factory warranty?
A: Yes. Removing emissions equipment like the DPF or EGR system may void your powertrain warranty. We recommend discussing with your dealer or mechanic before making modifications.

Q5: Is it legal to use DPF or EGR delete kits on public roads?
A: No. These kits are for off-road or race use only and are not legal for on-road driving in most states or provinces. Always check your local emissions regulations before installation.

Q6: Can I install the delete kits myself, or do I need a shop?
A: Many customers with basic mechanical skills can install the kits at home using standard tools. However, professional installation is recommended for the best results and tuning setup.

Q7: Will deleting the DPF and EGR improve fuel economy?
A: Yes. Most users report 2–4 MPG improvement after a full delete with tuning, depending on driving style and conditions.

Q8: What kind of horsepower gains can I expect from these upgrades?
A: With proper tuning, a DPF and EGR delete can increase horsepower by 30 to 50 HP, along with noticeable torque gains and improved throttle response.

Q9: What materials are the exhaust pipes made of? Will they rust?
A: Our delete pipes are made from high-quality T409 stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and long-term durability even in harsh conditions.

Q10: Will I need to remove the DEF tank or system as well?
A: No. While the DPF and EGR systems are removed or bypassed, the DEF tank can remain in place. Your tuner will disable the DEF system electronically, so you won’t need to refill it.
