Why Does Your 2020-2022 6.7L Powerstroke Need a Delete Kit?
When Ford upgraded the 6.7L Scorpion for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 production runs, switching to advanced commercial-grade steel pistons drastically improved structural strength under load. However, pushing this third-generation platform to its true capacity reveals severe factory bottlenecks across its entire breathing loop. Underneath, a restrictive factory underbody DPF canister traps extreme exhaust backpressure, forcing fuel-wasting regeneration cycles. Up top, the intake runners are continuously narrowed by a sticky, oily mixture of hot carbon soot from the cooler and heavy crankcase vapor. By installing an all-in-one 2020-2022 6.7 powerstroke delete kit that incorporates a high-velocity 6.7 powerstroke dpf delete pipe, a Stage 2 2020-2022 6.7 powerstroke egr delete, and an integrated 6.7 powerstroke ccv delete re-route system, you halt contamination instantly. This structural integration allows your variable geometry turbocharger to spool freely, dropping operational EGT limits, protecting your steel pistons, and reclaiming up to 2-4 MPG during heavy hauling.
EGR Cooler Failures and Carbon Buildup
The EGR system on the Gen 3 6.7L Powerstroke recirculates hot exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to reduce NOx emissions. Over time, this process causes severe carbon deposits that coat intake valves, clog the EGR cooler, and choke airflow into the engine. When the EGR cooler fails - a common issue on 2020-2022 models - it can leak coolant into the cylinders, leading to hydro-lock, white smoke, and catastrophic engine damage. Deleting the EGR system eliminates this failure point entirely, restoring clean airflow and preventing costly repairs.
DPF Clogging and Regeneration Cycles
The Diesel Particulate Filter traps soot from the exhaust stream, but it requires frequent high-temperature regeneration cycles to burn off accumulated ash. If you primarily drive short distances, tow heavy loads at low speeds, or idle frequently, the DPF never reaches the temperature needed for a complete regen. The result is a clogged filter that triggers limp mode, reduces fuel economy by 10-15%, and forces repeated active regenerations that dump raw fuel into the oil pan - thinning your engine oil and accelerating wear. A DPF delete pipe replaces the restrictive filter with a free-flowing straight pipe, eliminating regeneration cycles and restoring full exhaust flow.
CCV Oil Ingestion and Turbo Contamination
The factory CCV (Crankcase Case Ventilation) system on the 2020-2022 6.7 Powerstroke routes crankcase vapors back into the intake tract. These vapors carry atomized oil that coats the intercooler, turbo compressor wheel, and intake manifold with an oily film. Over thousands of miles, this oil ingestion degrades turbo efficiency, reduces intercooler cooling capacity, and creates a sticky residue that accelerates carbon buildup - especially when combined with an active EGR system. A CCV reroute kit vents these vapors below the truck instead of into the intake, keeping your turbo and intercooler clean for maximum performance.
What Can a 2020-2022 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Kit Solve?
EGR Delete Kit - Eliminates Carbon Buildup and Cooler Failures
Our 6.7L Powerstroke EGR delete kit uses CNC-machined aluminum block-off plates to seal the EGR system ports, preventing exhaust gases from re-entering the intake. By removing the EGR cooler and valve from the coolant circuit, you also reduce the thermal load on your cooling system - a significant benefit for trucks that tow heavy in hot climates. Installation is a direct bolt-on process with no permanent modifications, and the kit includes all necessary gaskets, bolts, and detailed instructions.
DPF Delete Pipe - Restores Exhaust Flow and Eliminates Regen Cycles
Available in 4-inch and 5-inch configurations, our DPF delete pipes replace the factory diesel particulate filter with a free-flowing mandrel-bent pipe made from 409 stainless steel. The 4" option provides a balance of flow improvement and ground clearance, while the 5" version maximizes exhaust volume for trucks running aggressive tuning. Both options are available with or without a muffler - the muffler version maintains a civilized tone, while the no-muffler setup delivers the classic diesel rumble. All DPF delete pipes include high-quality band clamps for a leak-free seal.
CCV Reroute Kit - Prevents Oil Contamination in the Intake System
Our CCV/PCV reroute kits redirect crankcase ventilation gases away from the intake system and vent them below the vehicle. Each kit includes high-temperature silicone hoses, precision-machined aluminum fittings, and all necessary mounting hardware. For maximum protection, pair the CCV reroute with our CCV baffle kit, which replaces the factory internal baffle with an upgraded design that reduces oil carry-over. This combination keeps your turbo, intercooler, and intake manifold clean and operating at peak efficiency.
Full Combo Delete Kits - Complete Emissions Bypass in One Package
For owners who want to address all emissions-related issues at once, our full combo delete kits bundle the EGR delete, DPF delete pipe, and CCV reroute into a single package at a significant discount versus buying each component separately. These all-in-one kits ensure proper fitment across all components and include everything needed for a complete installation - hardware, gaskets, clamps, and step-by-step instructions.
Full Kit Breakdown: Achieving True Performance Longevity with a 6.7L Full Delete Kit
Achieving a complete, competition-ready 6.7 powerstroke full delete kit setup on a 2020-2022 chassis means neutralizing all three major emissions failure points simultaneously. Beneath the truck, the heavy, restrictive factory emissions canisters and DEF infrastructure are unbolted and replaced with a smooth, mandrel-bent race straight pipe section that eliminates backpressure.
Up top in the engine compartment, a complete Stage 2 6.7 powerstroke egr removal is performed, entirely removing the heavy cooler block from the central valley to eliminate the risk of internal core cracks leaking fluid directly into the cylinders. Finally, an engineered 6.7 powerstroke ccv delete kit intercepts dirty crankcase blow-by gasses, routing them away from the fresh-air turbo inlet to maintain pristine compressor wheel balance.

2020-2022 Installation Reality: Master the 10R140 Transmission, Seized Fasteners, and Wire Protection
While basic product listings market a 2020-2022 ford 6.7 delete kit as a simple weekend driveway installation, real-world execution on a modern high-pressure truck requires deep technical context. Having endured thousands of severe thermal expansion cycles, the factory underbody exhaust flanges and rear manifold bolts are frequently heavily rusted or brittle. Furthermore, if the truck has operated on factory emissions equipment for years, the combination of oily CCV blow-by and hot EGR soot has likely formed a thick, sticky carbon tar layer inside your intake runners. Thoroughly cleaning these mounting faces during a 6.7 powerstroke egr removal is critical to achieving a permanent, leak-free mechanical seal.
Electronically, the 2020-2022 control network relies on complex sensor feedback loop chains. Removing the physical canisters leaves multiple active, multi-pin electrical harness plugs dangling beneath the chassis and within the engine bay. On modern trucks, these factory wire lines are highly vulnerable to environmental decay. Leaving these open terminals exposed will allow rain, mud, and road salt to cause cross-pin moisture short circuits. This will instantly disrupt your truck's central CAN-Bus communication loop, throwing your dashboard into a frenzy of random electronic faults, false warning codes, or rendering the truck entirely un-startable.
2. Severe-Haul Drivetrain Protections & Shift Adaptations
Focus: Sealing active chassis harness plugs, recalibrating 10R140 multi-gear clutch lines, and purging third-gen cooling channels.
- Dual-Zone Wire Terminal Weatherproofing: Clean all exposed factory chassis and engine plugs, pack the pins with protective dielectric grease, seal them tightly with specialized weatherproofing tape, and secure them high along the upper frame rail away from debris.
- 10-Speed TorqShift Shift-Point Optimization: Removing backpressure allows the 2020-2022 engine to build boost instantly, releasing a massive wave of low-end torque. To prevent the TorqShift 10R140 10-speed automatic transmission clutches from experiencing severe gear hunting or harsh downshifts during high-load commercial towing, utilizing matching calibration software to balance progressive line pressure is highly recommended.
- Third-Gen Pressurized Coolant Loop Purging: Disentangling the multi-layered support bracing and lower deck crossover tubes on a 2020-2022 block demands opening the high-pressure factory secondary heater lines. Installers must execute a comprehensive vacuum-assisted coolant drawn cycle or utilize an extended elevated-RPM burping process. This completely evacuates lingering air locks before they can trap heat right against the vulnerable rear cylinder heads, safeguarding your steel piston cylinders from localized thermal fatigue under extreme commercial hauling.
