EGR Delete Kits

Shop fitment-specific EGR delete kits for Ford Powerstroke, Dodge Ram Cummins, and GM Duramax diesel trucks. DieselPerf offers EGR valve kits, EGR cooler delete kits, coolant bypass configurations, throttle valve components, and selected high-flow intake elbow options for different engine generations.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, commonly called the EGR system, redirects a controlled portion of exhaust gas into the engine’s intake to help reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. An EGR delete kit contains hardware designed to remove, block, or reroute parts of that system in a qualifying competition-only or otherwise legally exempt application.

Kit contents and installation requirements vary considerably. Always match the product to the exact engine, model year, chassis configuration, and existing intake and cooling-system layout.

How to Choose the Correct EGR Delete Kit

The best EGR delete kit is the one designed for your exact vehicle—not simply one that shares the same engine displacement. Confirm these details before ordering:

  1. Engine generation: Identify whether the truck has a 6.0L, 6.4L, or 6.7L Powerstroke; a 6.7L Cummins; or a specific Duramax engine code such as LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML, or L5P.
  2. Model year: EGR layouts, sensors, coolant connections, intake components, and mounting points can change between engine generations and model years.
  3. Pickup or Cab and Chassis: Some Dodge Ram kits fit standard Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups but exclude Cab and Chassis models. Other products are designed specifically for Cab and Chassis trucks.
  4. Type of kit: An EGR block-off kit, full EGR-and-cooler delete kit, throttle valve delete, coolant bypass kit, and high-flow intake elbow are different products.
  5. Included components: Depending on the listing, a kit may contain block-off plates, gaskets, coolant hoses, plugs, clamps, brackets, intake components, and installation hardware. Do not assume every kit includes the same parts.
  6. Calibration and diagnostics: Electronically controlled diesel engines may detect changes to EGR-related hardware and set diagnostic fault codes. Confirm the product requirements and applicable laws before changing any hardware or engine calibration.

What May Be Included in an EGR Delete Kit?

Contents depend on the engine and product configuration. Common components can include:

  • EGR valve or exhaust block-off plates
  • EGR cooler replacement or bypass components
  • Coolant reroute hoses and fittings
  • Intake-side plates or high-flow intake elbows
  • Gaskets, clamps, bolts, brackets, and plugs
  • Sensor-compatible ports on selected applications

Compare the product photos with the written “What’s Included” section before ordering. If the truck already has aftermarket intake, cooling, turbo, or exhaust components, additional compatibility checks may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an EGR delete kit do?

An EGR delete kit physically removes, blocks, or reroutes components associated with the factory Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. It is intended only for applications with a documented legal basis, such as certain qualifying competition or emissions-exempt builds.

What is the difference between an EGR delete kit and an EGR cooler delete kit?

A basic EGR kit may block exhaust flow at the EGR valve or related passages. A full EGR-and-cooler kit addresses additional components, including the EGR cooler and coolant circuit. Product terminology varies, so use the included-parts list rather than the title alone.

Does every EGR delete kit include a tuner?

No. Most products in this collection are hardware kits. A tuner or engine calibration is not automatically included unless the product page specifically says so. Do not purchase or modify emissions-related software without first confirming that the application is lawful.

Will an EGR delete kit fit both pickup and Cab and Chassis trucks?

Not necessarily. Pickup and Cab and Chassis trucks can use different brackets, cooling-system layouts, and engine-bay components. Choose a product that explicitly lists your chassis configuration.

Will deleting the EGR automatically fix an EGR fault code?

Not necessarily. EGR-related diagnostic codes can be caused by valves, sensors, wiring, airflow problems, coolant leaks, software, or other engine conditions. Proper diagnosis should come before replacing or modifying components.

Will an EGR delete kit increase power or fuel economy?

Results vary by engine condition, supporting modifications, calibration, workload, and application. No universal horsepower or fuel-economy improvement should be assumed. An EGR delete kit is not a substitute for correct diagnostics, maintenance, or repair.

Find the Right EGR Kit for Your Diesel Truck

Start with the truck’s engine family, then verify its model year, chassis type, EGR layout, coolant routing, and included components. Careful fitment verification is the most reliable way to avoid ordering errors and select compatible parts for a lawful competition or emissions-exempt build.

FAQs

EGR Delete Kits are strictly intended for off-road, race, competition, or agricultural use only. Modifying emissions systems on street-legal vehicles is illegal in most regions, including California, New York, and Canada, and may result in fines or failed inspections. Always verify your local emissions laws before purchasing.

An EGR delete kit removes the factory EGR system, preventing hot exhaust gas from recirculating into the intake. This improves airflow, reduces carbon buildup, lowers engine temperatures, and boosts both fuel efficiency and horsepower.

Yes, for nearly all modern trucks (e.g., 6.7L Cummins, LML Duramax, 6.7L Powerstroke), a tuner is required to disable EGR functions, clear fault codes, and prevent the check engine light from staying on. While some older models may run without it, tuning is highly recommended for reliability.

Absolutely. Most users report a 5–15% increase in MPG, especially when paired with DPF/CCV deletes. Cleaner airflow, reduced soot, and cooler operating temperatures help your engine run more efficiently and last longer.

It eliminates recurring EGR-related trouble codes, including:

  • P0401: Insufficient EGR flow
  • P0402: Excessive EGR flow
  • P0405: EGR sensor low circuitWhen combined with a full delete setup, it also helps address DPF codes like P2002 and P2463.

Use our vehicle selector to input your truck’s make, model, year, and engine (e.g., 2006 F350 6.0L, 2018 RAM 2500 6.7L, 2015 Silverado LML). If you’re unsure, contact our diesel experts for personalized recommendations.

Our kits include block-off plates, gaskets, coolant plugs, and all required hardware (some models include an upgraded intake horn). Detailed instructions and video guides are also provided. Installation is a moderate DIY project requiring basic mechanical skills.
