The Big Question: Should You Delete Your 6.7 Cummins? Deleting a 6.7L Cummins (2007-2018) delivers major performance gains but comes with real legal risks. Here’s what you need to weigh before deciding: ✅ The Benefits (Why People Delete) ✔ +30-50 HP & Torque (Removes DPF/EGR restrictions)✔ +2-4 MPG Gain (No more fuel-wasting regens)✔ Longer Engine Life (No soot recirculation = cleaner oil)✔ Eliminates $5,000 Repairs (DPF replacements, EGR cooler failures) ❌ The Risks (Why Some Regret It) ✔ EPA Fines Up to $4,500 (If caught with tampered emissions)✔ Failed Inspections (In emissions-testing states)✔ Resale Value Impact (Some buyers avoid deleted trucks)✔ Warranty Void (If still under factory coverage) Performance Gains: What a Delete Really Does 1. Horsepower & Torque Increase Stock 6.7 Cummins: ~350 HP / 660 lb-ft Deleted + Tuned: 400-450 HP / 800+ lb-ft Biggest Gains: Turbo spools faster, no exhaust backpressure 2. Fuel Economy Improvement Before Delete: 14-16 MPG (with regens) After Delete: 16-20 MPG (no wasted fuel burning soot) 3. Engine Longevity EGR delete stops: Carbon-clogged intake manifolds Coolant leaks from failed EGR coolers DPF delete prevents: Turbo damage from backpressure Cracked pistons from high EGTs Legal Risks: Can You Get Fined? Federal Law (EPA) Tampering with emissions = $4,500+ fine per violation Shops that perform deletes risk $37,500+ fines Enforcement increasing (especially in CA, TX, NY) State Emissions Testing Strict States (Fail if deleted): CA, CO, NY, PA, etc. No-Test States (Safer): FL, OH, MI, most of the South Resale & Warranty Issues Dealers may refuse CPO warranty Private buyers often pay less (unless it’s a performance market) Alternatives to Full Deletes If the legal risks worry you, consider: 1. DPF Cleaning ( 300− 300−600) Extends DPF life but doesn’t fix underlying issues 2. EGR "Soft" Delete (Tune-Only) Keeps hardware intact but disables function via tuning 3. Partial Deletes (Mock DPF Shells) Maintains stock appearance but improves flow 🚛 Final Verdict: Who Should Delete? Worth It If You: Live in a no-emissions-test state Tow heavy and need reliability Own an out-of-warranty truck Accept the resale/fine risks Not Worth It If You: Live in CA or strict emissions states Have factory warranty remaining Plan to sell to dealerships Can’t afford potential fines ⚠️ Thinking About Deleting? Do This First: Check local laws (Google “[Your State] diesel emissions testing”) Get quotes for repairs (Sometimes fixing emissions parts is cheaper) Research tuners (Some hide delete capability better than others) FAQ ❓ Can you undo a delete later?Yes, but reinstalling DPF/EGR costs $2,000+ in parts. ❓ What’s the #1 delete mistake?Using cheap tuners that throw obvious CELs during inspections. ❓ Are there “legal” deletes?No – any tampering violates EPA rules, but enforcement varies.
The L5P Duramax's Silent Killer: EGR System Failure If you own a 2017-2023 L5P Duramax, you're likely familiar with:✔️ Mysterious coolant loss (disappearing with no visible leaks)✔️ White exhaust smoke (burning coolant from failed EGR cooler)✔️ Reduced power & MPG (carbon-choked intake)✔️ $4,000+ repair bills (EGR cooler replacement costs) The factory EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system is slowly destroying your engine - and most owners don't realize it until it's too late. Why All L5P Duramax Engines Need an EGR Delete 1. Coolant Leaks Lead to Catastrophic Failure The EGR cooler circulates coolant near 400°F exhaust gases. Over time:→ Metal fatigues and cracks develop→ Coolant leaks into exhaust (white smoke)→ Worst case: Coolant enters cylinders → hydro-lock → blown engine 2. Carbon Buildup Chokes Performance EGR pumps soot back into your intake, causing:→ Clogged intake manifolds (30% airflow reduction)→ Sticky turbo vanes (reduced boost)→ Oil contamination (accelerated engine wear) 3. Heat Soak Damages Critical Components Recirculated exhaust gases create:→ Higher cylinder temps (piston/ring wear)→ Overworked intercooler (heat-soaked intake air) DynoVox's Solution: The Ultimate L5P EGR Delete Kit L5P EGR Delete Kit Our CNC-machined billet aluminum delete kit eliminates these problems permanently: ✅ Fits 2017-2023 L5P Duramax - Precision engineered for perfect fitment✅ Billet aluminum construction - Won't warp or leak like cheap steel kits✅ Complete solution - Includes block-off plates, gaskets & hardware✅ Restores 15-20hp - By eliminating exhaust gas recirculation✅ Lowers EGTs by 50-100°F - Critical for towing longevity Real-World Results From Customers "Installed at 68,000 miles when my EGR cooler started leaking.

Is Your 6.7 Powerstroke Slowly Dying? If you own a 6.7L Powerstroke (2011-2022), you’ve probably noticed: Frequent regens (annoying, fuel-wasting DPF cycles) Lost power & MPG (clogged DPF/EGR suffocating your engine) Coolant leaks (failing EGR cooler → hydro-lock risk) $5,000+ repair bills (DPF replacement, turbo damage, cracked pistons) The factory emissions systems (DPF, EGR, DEF) are the problem—and a high-quality delete kit is the only permanent solution. How Emissions Systems Destroy Your 6.7 Powerstroke 1. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Failure Pumps soot back into your engine, clogging intake manifolds & valves. EGR coolers crack, leaking coolant into cylinders (hydro-lock risk). Causes overheating → warped heads & blown gaskets. 2. DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) Problems Clogs over time, choking exhaust flow and killing turbo response. Forces painful regens (burning extra fuel to clean itself). Fails catastrophically—$3,000+ replacement cost. 3. DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) System Issues Injector failures leave you stranded in "limp mode." Crystal buildup clogs SCR catalysts. The Fix: A 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Kit 6.7 Powerstroke EGR/DPF Delete Kit Deleting these systems restores power, MPG, and engine life:✅ No more regens – Say goodbye to forced DPF burns.✅ 30+ more horsepower – Free-flowing exhaust = better turbo spool.✅ 2-3 MPG increase – No more fuel wasted on regens.✅ Prevents coolant leaks – Eliminates the failing EGR cooler.✅ Longer engine life – No soot recirculation = cleaner oil & less wear.
