Q1: How many miles will a deleted 6.7 Powerstroke last?
A1: A properly deleted and tuned 6.7 Powerstroke can easily last over 300,000 miles, assuming regular maintenance and quality parts are used. Removing restrictive components like the DPF reduces engine strain and EGTs, often increasing engine longevity.
Q2: How much horsepower does deleting a 6.7 Powerstroke add?
A2: Reducing backpressure by deleting the DPF typically adds 30–50 HP. When paired with a tuner and full exhaust system, gains can reach 75–100 HP, depending on tuning and supporting mods.
Q3: What does a DPF delete pipe do?
A3: A DPF delete pipe replaces the diesel particulate filter with a straight or muffled exhaust section, allowing unrestricted exhaust flow. This reduces backpressure, improves turbo efficiency, and boosts MPG and throttle response.
Q4: What is the best delete for a 6.7 Powerstroke?
A4: The best delete setup includes a DPF delete pipe, an EGR delete kit, and a compatible tuner like EZ Lynk. For daily driving or towing, a 4” or 5” delete pipe with muffler offers a good balance of performance and sound.
Q5: Is a DPF delete worth it on a 6.7 Powerstroke?
A5: Yes—if you're using your truck off-road, a DPF delete significantly reduces maintenance, improves fuel mileage (up to 5–6 mpg gains), and gives your vehicle better throttle response and cooler running temps.
Q6: Will deleting the DPF hurt my truck?
A6: Not if done correctly. If you pair a quality delete pipe with a proper delete tuner, your truck will run more efficiently. Many owners report better reliability after deleting.
Q7: Can I pass emissions with a DPF delete?
A7: No. DPF deletes are for off-road use only and are not legal for road use in most areas. You should check your local laws and use delete parts responsibly.
Q8: Will I need a tuner with this DPF delete pipe?
A8: Yes. Deleting the DPF removes emissions sensors that will trigger check engine lights. A compatible delete-capable tuner is required to recalibrate the ECU.
Q9: What's the difference between a straight pipe and a muffler delete pipe?
A9: A straight pipe has no muffler and produces a loud, aggressive sound. Like this one, a muffled delete pipe reduces drone and gives a deep, refined diesel tone that’s better for daily driving.
Q10: Will a DPF delete improve fuel mileage on my 6.7 Powerstroke?
A10: Absolutely. Most owners see 4–6 MPG gains after deleting the DPF and tuning properly, especially under towing or highway conditions.
