4"/5" 2011-2016 LML 6.6 Duramax DPF Delete Kit - Unleash the Full Power of Your Chevy & GMC
Vehicle Fitment - Compatible Chevy & GMC Models
This kit is designed for Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 HD models from 2011 to 2016. Here’s how to make sure it’s a match for your truck:
· 2011-2015 Models: These use a V-band clamp to secure the downpipe to the turbo-direct pipe.
· 2015.5-2016 Models: Midway through 2015, Chevy/GMC made a design switch to a 3-bolt flange connection for the downpipe.
So, 2015 or 2015.5?
2015 was a split year, with early 2015 models using the V-band style and mid-2015 (2015.5) switching to the 3-bolt flange. Make sure to double-check your truck’s clamp type before ordering to get the right fit.
Why Consider DPF Delete for Your LML 6.6 Duramax?
This 4"/5" 2011-2016 LML 6.6 Duramax DPF Delete Kit is crafted for those serious about getting the most out of their truck. Built specifically for Chevy and GMC diesel trucks, this kit unlocks performance by reducing backpressure, improving fuel efficiency, and cutting down on those costly maintenance issues that DPF systems often bring.
What is a DPF, and Why Should You Delete It?
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) has been a standard feature in diesel trucks since 2007. While it helps reduce emissions, it also causes performance problems: more backpressure, clogging over time, and the need for constant maintenance. Removing the DPF changes that by boosting fuel flow, increasing efficiency, and delivering smoother, more powerful performance every time you drive.
The Difference Between DPF and DEF Delete
If you’re wondering, DEF delete removes the Diesel Exhaust Fluid system, while DPF delete removes the particulate filter itself. Both impact emissions, but DPF delete goes straight to the source of exhaust restriction, giving you noticeable gains in fuel economy and power. If performance is your goal, this DPF delete kit is the upgrade your LML Duramax has been waiting for.
Product Details and Specifications
· Inlet Diameter Options: Available in 4" and 5" sizes to fit your specific performance needs. The 4" option offers balanced, everyday power, while the 5" inlet is all about maximizing airflow for higher performance, making it ideal for off-roading or towing.
· Material: Made from T-409 stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. Unlike T-304 stainless, T-409 is magnetic, so if a magnet sticks, don’t worry—it’s authentic.
What’s in the Box?
The kit includes everything you need for a complete installation, including clamps, hangers, and mounting hardware. This is a fully-equipped package, so you don’t have to chase down extra parts.
Benefits of DPF Delete - Why GMC DPF Removal is Worth It
Fuel Efficiency Boost
DPF removal frees up your exhaust system, allowing fuel to flow more smoothly. You’ll notice a significant improvement in fuel economy—think 20-30% more miles per gallon, depending on your driving style and conditions.
Lower Maintenance Costs
With the DPF gone, so are the frequent cleanings, repairs, and eventual replacements it demands. This translates to fewer trips to the shop and less cash spent on keeping your truck in top shape.
More Power and Torque
Removing the DPF reduces exhaust backpressure, which gives your engine the breathing room it needs to perform at its best. The result? More torque and horsepower. This is the performance boost you’ll feel, whether you’re towing, off-roading, or just want that extra power on the open road.
Installation Guide - Getting Your Duramax DPF Delete Kit Set Up
Tools and Prep
All you’ll need are basic hand tools, making this an ideal DIY project. While a lift makes things easier, it’s not required. Before you get started, confirm whether your model has a V-band or 3-bolt flange connection to ensure the best fit.
Installation Steps
1. Position your truck safely and gather your tools.
2. Attach the DPF delete kit to the exhaust system and secure it with the provided clamps and hangers.
3. Complete the installation using the included mounting hardware.
4. If necessary, reuse some factory hardware for a secure fit.
Important Note: Tuning Requirement
After DPF removal, your truck will need a compatible tuner to prevent check engine lights or error codes. Tuning is essential for ensuring smooth operation, optimized performance, and full compatibility with the new exhaust setup.
This 4"/5" 2011-2016 LML 6.6 Duramax DPF Delete Kit is the solution for those who want a more powerful, efficient, and low-maintenance truck. By improving exhaust flow, cutting fuel costs, and freeing you from constant maintenance, this kit is a solid investment for your Duramax’s performance.
