The selection of an appropriate component package designed to remove emissions control devices from a 6.7 Powerstroke diesel engine necessitates careful consideration. This decision hinges on factors such as intended usage, desired performance gains, and adherence to applicable regulations. Various aftermarket options are available, each offering different levels of functionality and complexity, all aimed at enhancing engine performance and fuel efficiency.
The removal of factory-installed emissions equipment, such as the diesel particulate filter (DPF), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, is often pursued to address recurring maintenance issues associated with these components and to unlock the engines full potential. Historically, these systems have been known to cause reduced fuel economy, increased downtime, and diminished overall engine performance due to clogging and component failures. Deleting these systems can result in improved horsepower, torque, and fuel mileage.
