High-Performance EGR Delete Kits

When it comes to diesel engine longevity, managing the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is a top priority for truck owners. Whether you are driving a Ford Powerstroke, Dodge Ram Cummins, or GM Duramax, the factory EGR system is often the leading cause of carbon buildup, decreased fuel economy, and premature engine failure.

At EGR Performance, we specialize in precision-engineered EGR delete kits designed to bypass these restrictive systems, allowing your engine to breathe cleaner air and run at lower temperatures.

Why Should You Consider an EGR Delete?

Factory-installed EGR coolers are notorious for leaking and clogging. This leads to "clogged veins" in your engine, causing excessive smoke, reduced throttle response, the dreaded "limp mode" or "Check Engine" lights, and common error codes, such as P0401 (Insufficient Flow), P0403, and P0404.

By installing a high-quality EGR delete kit, you can:

• Improve Fuel Economy: Many users report a significant increase in MPG after removing the restrictive EGR flow.
• Lower Coolant Temperatures: Reducing the heat load on your cooling system prevents head gasket failure—a common issue for 6.0 Powerstroke owners.
• Eliminate Carbon Buildup: Keep your intake manifold clean and free from oily soot.

Say Goodbye to Carbon Buildup and Costly EGR Failures

The factory EGR system recirculates dirty exhaust gases back into your intake to lower emissions. Over time, this causes massive carbon buildup (soot), "clogged veins," and increased Engine Coolant Temperatures (ECT).

By installing a diesel EGR delete, you stop this cycle, allowing your engine to breathe clean, oxygen-rich air.

Solve Common Diesel Fault Codes (DTCs)

Most customers look for an EGR delete kit because their dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree. Our kits are designed to address the root mechanical causes of these common fault codes:

Clearing Ford Powerstroke Codes (P0401, P0402, P0404)

If your 6.7L/6.4/6.0 Powerstroke is throwing a P0401 (Insufficient Flow) or P0402 (Excessive Flow), it's likely a clogged or stuck EGR cooler. Replacing the cooler is a temporary fix; our egr kit removes the bottleneck entirely for permanent reliability.

Fix Dodge Ram Cummins Limp Mode (P0405, P2457)

The 6.7L Cummins is notorious for P2457 (EGR Cooler Efficiency) and P0405 (Sensor A Circuit Low). These codes often trigger "Limp Mode," limiting your speed. A full delete prevents your RAM from being stranded on the highway.

Resolve Chevy/GMC Duramax Issues (P0403, P1404)

From the LB7 to the latest L5P, Duramax engines often suffer from P0403 (EGR Control Circuit). Instead of replacing expensive electronic valves, our block-off plates provide a permanent physical fix.

Installation & Support

Choosing the right diesel EGR delete parts can be confusing. If you are unsure whether you need a full kit or just a block-off plate, our support team is available via online chat.

All our delete kits come with required gaskets, hardware, and access to digital installation guides.

Is an EGR Delete Legal?

All EGR delete kits sold by EGR Performance are designated for Off-Road and Race Competition Use Only. They are not street legal in the USA. Removing emissions equipment may violate federal/state laws and void your factory warranty.

We always recommend checking your local regulations before performing a delete. Additionally, most vehicles will require an EGR delete tuner to prevent check engine lights (CEL) and manage engine parameters post-installation.

Pair Your Delete with More Performance

To get the most out of your truck, consider a holistic approach. Many of our customers find that a CCV delete kit (Crankcase Ventilation) is the perfect companion to an EGR delete, as it prevents oil mist from entering the turbocharger.

For those looking for the ultimate exhaust flow, pairing your kit with a CAT/DPF delete pipe will maximize exhaust velocity.

Frequently Asked Questions About EGR Deletes

Q: Is an EGR delete good for the engine?

A: Absolutely. Installing a diesel EGR delete is one of the best ways to extend the life of your truck. By stopping exhaust soot from re-entering the intake, you keep your engine oil cleaner for longer, lower engine coolant temperatures, and prevent the carbon buildup that leads to blown head gaskets on engines like the 6.0 Powerstroke.

Q: Does an EGR delete increase HP?

A: Yes. An EGR delete restores clean, oxygen-rich air to the engine that was previously displaced by hot exhaust gas. While the primary goal is reliability, you will see improved throttle response and increased horsepower/torque. For maximum gains, combine our EGR kit with a proper race tuner.

Q: What are the main benefits of a diesel EGR delete kit?

A: A diesel EGR delete kit significantly lowers engine operating temperatures, prevents carbon buildup in the intake, and eliminates the risk of EGR cooler leaks. Most drivers also report better fuel economy (MPG) and increased turbo spool speed.

Q: Will an EGR delete clear my "Service Emissions System" message?

A: Yes, when paired with a proper tuner (like EZ LYNK or Mini Maxx), our diesel EGR delete kits help eliminate the sensors that trigger this warning and prevent the vehicle from entering limp mode.

Q: Why does my Duramax L5P keep throwing a P0401 code?

A: P0401 indicates "Insufficient EGR Flow," usually due to heavy soot buildup in the EGR valve or cooler. An EGR delete kit removes the valve entirely, preventing future carbon clogs and resolving the code permanently.

Q: Does installing an EGR kit require a tuner?

A: Yes. When you install an EGR delete, the ECU will detect missing components and throw a check engine light. You will need a race tuner (ECU programmer) to disable the EGR system sensors and optimize the engine for the new parts.

Q: Can I install a 6.7L Cummins EGR delete without a tuner?

A: No. Physical removal of the EGR system without a tuner will cause a permanent Check Engine Light (CEL) and may force the truck into limp mode. You must use a race tuner to disable the EGR sensors.

Q: Will a 6.0 Powerstroke EGR delete kit fit a 6.4L engine?

A: No. EGR systems are engine-specific. You must choose the correct EGR delete kit for your specific Year, Make, and Model. A 6.0 egr delete kit is not compatible with 6.4L or 6.7L engines.

Q: Are there different EGR kits for different engine models and years?

A: Yes, we offer tailored kits for various engines and years, including Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax. Just match your model to find the right kit.

Q: How difficult is it to install my diesel EGR delete?

A: Installation is fairly easy for DIYers with basic skills. If unsure, a professional mechanic can help. No special tools needed.

Q: How long does it take to install an EGR delete kit?

A: Installation times vary. A basic Duramax EGR delete kit might take 2-4 hours, while more complex systems like the 6.4L Powerstroke can take 6-8 hours. We recommend professional installation for the best results.

Q: What happens if I delete EGR without deleting DPF?

A: We strongly advise against this. If you install an EGR delete kit but leave the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) in place, the DPF will clog very quickly. Without the EGR system to manage combustion temperatures, the DPF cannot regenerate properly, resulting in excessive backpressure and potential turbocharger failure. Most competition builds use full diesel delete kits to address both systems simultaneously.

Q: Do I need to delete my DPF and CCV at the same time?

A: While not mandatory, most Powerstroke 6.7 and Cummins 6.7 owners perform a "Full Delete" (EGR + DPF + CCV) simultaneously. This maximizes engine longevity by removing all restrictive emissions equipment and preventing oil mist from coating the turbo compressor wheel.

Q: Are EGR deletes still illegal?

A: EGR delete kits are sold strictly for Off-Road and Competition Use Only (e.g., drag racing, sled pulling). Removing emissions equipment on a street-driven vehicle violates the Clean Air Act in the USA. We recommend consulting your local laws before modification.

Q: Will installing an EGR delete kit void my vehicle warranty?

A: It may, as EGR deletions can affect emissions and powertrain components. Check your warranty details or consult your dealer before installing.

Q: How do I maintain my engine after installing EGR delete kits?

A: Maintenance becomes simpler and cheaper. Follow your regular maintenance schedule, which includes oil changes, air filter checks, and fuel system cleanings. Without EGR, carbon buildup is reduced, extending component life.
