Q1: Will installing this kit cause a check engine light?
A1: Yes, unless a tuner is used to disable EGR-related codes. We recommend pairing this kit with an EZ Lynk or MM3 tuner.
Q2: Do I need tuning after installing this kit?
A2: Absolutely. Tuning is required to prevent Check Engine Lights (CELs) and ensure your engine runs optimally after deleting the EGR system.
Q3: Is this kit compatible with my 2008 Silverado 2500HD?
A3: Yes. This kit is 100% compatible with all 2008-2010 LMM Duramax models, including Silverado and Sierra.
Q4: How much horsepower will I gain?
A4: EGR delete alone may offer small gains (0-5 HP), but the real benefits come from improved throttle response, better airflow, and engine longevity.
Q5: Does this kit void my factory warranty?
A5: Yes, installing any emissions-delete product may void your original equipment manufacturer (OEM) powertrain warranty. Please consult your dealer.
Q6: What’s included in the kit?
A6: EGR delete plates, high-flow intake pipe, gaskets, mounting hardware, and optional black or blue finish.
Q7: How difficult is the installation?
A7: For experienced DIYers, it’s a moderate-level install. Beginners should seek professional help.
Q8: How long does the installation typically take?
A8: The estimated installation time is around 2 to 4 hours, depending on your mechanical skill level and the tools available.
Q9: Will this kit help lower my EGTs?
A9: Yes, by preventing hot exhaust gases from recirculating into your intake, this kit helps lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs), which is highly beneficial when towing or under heavy loads.
Q10: Is this EGR delete kit legal for street use?
A10: No. This product is intended for off-road and closed-course racing use only. It is not legal for use on public highways where emissions regulations apply.
