4" & 5" DPF Delete Pipe for 2011-2025 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke
Unlock the full potential of your Ford F-250, F-350, or F-450 with our premium DPF Delete Pipe, specifically designed for the 2011-2025 6.7L Powerstroke diesel. The factory Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is the primary bottleneck in your exhaust system, leading to increased backpressure, frequent "regen" cycles, and compromised fuel economy.
By upgrading to our high-flow T-409 Stainless Steel delete pipe, you eliminate restrictive factory emissions filters. This results in cooler operating temperatures, faster turbo spool-up, and significant gains in fuel efficiency—essential for heavy towing and long-haul reliability.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Substantial Fuel Economy Gains: Most 6.7L Powerstroke owners see an increase from 13–14 MPG up to 18–19 MPG combined after deleting the DPF, reflecting a real-world fuel saving of approximately 5-10%.
-
Quicker Turbo Spool-Up: Removing the exhaust bottleneck allows the turbocharger to spool faster, delivering smoother throttle response and more immediate low-end torque.
-
Lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT): By reducing backpressure, heat is pulled away from the engine more effectively, protecting your engine’s internal components during heavy-duty hauling.
-
T-409 Stainless Steel Durability: Built with industrial-grade, 2mm thick T-409 stainless steel, offering superior heat resistance and long-term durability compared to standard aluminized steel.
-
Eliminate Costly Maintenance: Stop worrying about DPF clogging, sensor failures, or the high costs associated with factory emissions system repairs and replacements.
-
Simplified Engine Profile: Removing the DPF, CAT, SCR, and DOC components creates a cleaner exhaust path and simplifies the overall maintenance of your truck.

Installation & System Requirements
-
Ease of Install: Estimated install time is approximately 1 hour with basic hand tools.
-
Fitment Notes: Designed for Pickup models only. Does not fit Cab & Chassis configurations. Short-bed trucks may require minor trimming of the pipe for a precision fit.
-
Tuner Mandatory: A DPF-Delete capable tuner is required. Removing emissions components without a tuner will cause the truck to enter "Limp Mode" and trigger diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Why Upgrade Your 6.7L Powerstroke?
The 6.7L Powerstroke is a powerhouse of modern diesel engineering, but the factory emissions system is its Achilles' heel. Our 4" and 5" Delete Pipes are the most cost-effective way to "bulletproof" your exhaust system. By combining mandrel-bent curves with premium T-409 stainless steel, we provide a product that fits perfectly and is built to last the lifetime of your truck.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will the 5" pipe offer more gains than the 4" pipe?
A: The 5" pipe is ideal for high-horsepower builds and provides a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note. For stock or mildly tuned trucks, both diameters offer significant MPG and EGT improvements.
Q: Is T-409 better than aluminized steel?
A: Yes. T-409 stainless steel contains chromium, providing excellent resistance to the high-heat, high-soot environment of diesel exhaust. It will develop a surface patina over time but will not rust through like aluminized pipe.
Q: Does this kit fit the 2025 models?
A: Yes, our kit is updated for the latest 2024–2025 6.7L Powerstroke pickup configurations. Always ensure you have a compatible tuner ready before starting the installation.
Performance & Specifications
Q1: What’s the difference between 4-inch and 5-inch exhaust systems?
- 4-inch Systems: Best for stock to moderately tuned trucks. It maintains ideal backpressure to keep your low-end torque snappy—perfect for daily driving and heavy towing.
- 5-inch Systems: Engineered for high-horsepower builds (500+ RWHP). These maximize flow to drop Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) and deliver that deep, aggressive "straight-pipe" growl.
Q2: Can a magnet stick to this pipe? Is it actually stainless steel?
- Yes. This system is built from T-409 Stainless Steel. Unlike 304-grade (non-magnetic), T-409 contains higher iron content, making it magnetic. It offers superior corrosion resistance over aluminized steel and is the industry standard for durability in harsh North American winters.
Q3: How thick is the tubing and what is its lifespan?
- We use 14-gauge (approx. 2mm) T-409 stainless steel. It strikes the perfect balance between weight and structural integrity, ensuring your exhaust survives heat cycles and road debris for years to come.
DPF Delete & Race Pipes
⚠️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Under the U.S. Clean Air Act, these components are sold strictly for OFF-ROAD / RACING USE ONLY. Use on public highways is a violation of EPA federal law and may result in significant fines.
Q4: Will a DPF delete kit improve my truck’s performance?
- Absolutely. By removing the restrictive factory filter, you will see:Substantially lower EGTs.Improved turbo spool-up (less lag).Better fuel economy (when paired with proper tuning).An end to "Limp Mode" caused by DPF clogging or sensor failures.
Q5: What exactly is a DPF delete race pipe?
- It is a direct-replacement straight pipe that swaps out the factory Diesel Particulate Filter. It eliminates the single biggest bottleneck in your exhaust, allowing your 6.7L Powerstroke to breathe freely.
Q6: Is a DPF delete legal for street use in the US?
- No. Removing emissions equipment violates EPA and CARB regulations for on-road vehicles. Check your local and state laws regarding emissions testing (Smog Checks) before purchasing.
Q7: Do I need a tuner after installing a delete pipe?
- Yes, mandatory. The 6.7L Powerstroke PCM must be "flashed" with a DPF-off tune (e.g., EZ Lynk, EFI Live, or SCT). Without a tuner, the truck will throw a Check Engine Light (CEL) and enter a "Limp Mode" power derate.
Installation & Compatibility
Q8: Will this void my vehicle’s warranty?
- Yes. Most dealerships will flag a deleted truck and deny powertrain-related warranty claims. Proceed with this understanding.
Q9: How difficult is the installation?
- This is a "bolt-on" installation for most experienced DIYers. While basic hand tools work, an automotive lift makes the process significantly faster. Note: Some Crew Cab or Short Bed configurations may require minor trimming of the mid-pipe for a perfect fit.
Q10: Downpipe-Back vs. Turbo-Back: What’s the difference?
- Downpipe-Back: Replaces everything from the factory downpipe to the tailpipe. It’s easier to install and very popular.
- Turbo-Back: Replaces the entire system starting directly at the turbocharger. This offers the absolute maximum performance gain but involves a more labor-intensive installation.
Q11: Is this 5-inch system compatible with Cab & Chassis models?
- No. This kit is designed specifically for standard pickup frames (F-250/F-350/F-450). Cab & Chassis trucks have different frame rails and fuel tank locations that require specialized routing.
Driving Experience
Q12: Will my truck be significantly louder?
- Yes. Expect a more pronounced exhaust note. The 5-inch straight pipe is loud and deep. If you are concerned about "In-Cab Drone" during long highway hauls, we recommend choosing our version with a high-flow muffler/resonator.
Q13: Will it pass a state emissions inspection?
- No. If your state requires a visual inspection or an OBDII "Readiness" scan, a deleted truck will fail.
Q14: Is it compatible with my existing tuner (EZ Lynk, Mini Maxx, etc.)?
- Yes, our pipes are compatible with all major tuning platforms that support "High-Flow" or "Race" exhaust settings.
