Some of the most popular performance upgrades available for diesel engines are EGR and DPF deletes. While removing exhaust components from your vehicle may seem counter-intuitive, having a delete done brings with it many benefits.

Deletes are aftermarket kits that remove factory-installed components that limit performance and fuel economy in diesel engines. The most common delete kits are EGR deletes, DPF deletes, and DEF deletes.

What is a Diesel Delete?

Diesel exhaust is notoriously dirty and oily soot and carbon buildup from the exhaust will eventually clog up the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve, EGR sensors, EGR cooler, and DPF (diesel particulate filter). As these components plug up, performance and fuel economy will drop meaning

The exhaust system is responsible for directing exhaust gases away from the engine and toward the tailpipe. It includes components like the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, O2 sensors, exhaust pipes, muffler, resonator, and tailpipe, as well as other miscellaneous parts like gaskets, heat shields, and hangers. If the exhaust system leaks, it can expose you to high levels of carbon monoxide. A obstructed exhaust system can also create back pressure, effectively choking the engine and resulting in a series of performance issues.

The exhaust system of an automobile is a crucial element that is often overlooked by many individuals. When your vehicle operates, it emits gases that consist of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons. If the exhaust system malfunctions, it can lead to potential issues. Proper maintenance of the exhaust system plays a key role in ensuring the engine operates efficiently and in preventing harmful gases from entering the vehicle cabin. Moreover, it serves as a preventative measure against the onset of rust. Routine cleaning of the exhaust system is essential in averting expensive repairs (Author, year).
