Q1: What effect does an EGR delete have on engine temperature?
A1: An EGR delete reduces carbon buildup and helps lower exhaust gas temperatures. This results in a cleaner, cooler-running engine, especially beneficial for off-road or towing conditions.
Q2: What driving style is this Cummins EGR delete kit suitable for?
A2: This kit is ideal for aggressive driving styles, off-road use, heavy towing, and drivers seeking improved throttle response and engine longevity from their 6.7L Cummins diesel.
Q3: What's the average install time for the EGR plate cooler and throttle valve delete kit?
A3: Installation typically takes between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the mechanical experience of the installer. We provide a detailed installation guide and video to assist DIY users.
Q4: Will the EGR delete cause my check engine light to come on or stay on? If so, what else is needed to turn off the engine light?
A4: Removing the EGR system without a tuner will likely trigger diagnostic trouble codes. A custom tuner, such as EZ Lynk, H&S, or RaceME, is required to disable EGR-related CELs and ensure smooth operation.
Q5: Will installing this kit void my vehicle's warranty?
A5: Yes, EGR delete modifications may void parts of your vehicle's manufacturer warranty. It is recommended to confirm with your dealership or manufacturer before installation.
Q6: Is the EGR delete kit worth it for a 2013–2018 6.7L Cummins?
A6: Yes, especially for off-road and performance use. An EGR delete reduces carbon deposits, improves engine airflow, and helps extend the life of the turbo and intake systems.
Q7: Do I get more horsepower with an EGR delete?
A7: An EGR delete provides minor horsepower gains (typically 0–5 HP) but offers more noticeable benefits in throttle response, torque consistency, and lower turbo lag.
Q8: Is this kit compatible with other delete systems like DPF or DEF delete?
A8: This EGR delete kit is fully compatible with DPF and DEF delete systems. Consider a complete DPF and EGR combo kit designed for 6.7L Cummins trucks, providing complete emissions removal.
Q9: What tuner should I use after installing this 6.7 Cummins EGR delete kit?
A9: We recommend using a compatible delete tuner such as EZ Lynk AutoAgent, RaceME Ultra, or H&S Mini Maxx to reprogram your ECU and disable emission-related error codes.
Q10: Is this EGR delete kit street legal?
A10: No, this kit is only intended for off-road and competition use. It is not legal for use in emissions-regulated states or provinces on public roads.
