What Do These DPF Delete Kits Actually Do? (And What Gains Can You Expect?)

While the benefits of a DPF delete on Powerstroke engines are clear in terms of performance, there are a few things to consider:

Pros:

• Major gains in horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency

• Lower EGTs and less wear on turbo components

• No more costly DPF regen cycles or filter replacements

• Simpler exhaust system, easier to troubleshoot

Cons:

• For off-road or race use only – not legal on public roads in most areas

• Will require ECU tuning or delete tuner to avoid check engine lights

• Removal may void emissions-related warranty

For the 6.7 Powerstroke DPF Delete (2011–2022 F250/F350/F450/F550):

• Horsepower Increase: +40–60 HP

• Torque Boost: +90–120 lb-ft

• Fuel Economy: Up to 2–4 MPG improvement

• EGT Reduction: Up to 200°F lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures (critical for towing applications)

The 6.7 Powerstroke downpipe-back and DP-back exhaust systems are especially popular for 2017+ models, as they remove restrictive factory components and pair seamlessly with tuning software for full performance unlock.

For the 6.4 Powerstroke DPF & CAT Delete Pipe (2008–2010 F-series SuperDuty):

• Performance Recovery: Restores power lost to emissions systems

• Turbo Efficiency: Freer spool-up, less lag

• Maintenance Reduction: Eliminate DPF regens, fewer sensor-related faults

• Sound Upgrade: Deep, aggressive turbo-diesel tone without drone

For the 3.0 Powerstroke DPF Delete Kit (Ford F150 Diesel, 2018–2021):

• Turbo-Back Systems give up to +30 HP gains and improved low-end torque, especially when paired with aftermarket tuning.

• Race Pipes remove the DPF alone for lighter installs with solid drivability improvements.

FAQ

Q1: Is a DPF delete legal for my 6.7 Powerstroke?

A: DPF delete kits, including those for the 6.7 Powerstroke and 6.4 Powerstroke, are for off-road or competition use only. They are not legal for on-road use in many areas, especially states with strict emissions laws like California and New York. Always check your local regulations before installation.

Q2: What tuner do I need for a DPF delete 6.7 Powerstroke setup?

A: You’ll need a custom EFI Live or SCT delete tuner compatible with your model year to disable DPF functions and prevent check engine lights. Some popular brands include EZ Lynk, HP Tuners, and SCT. The tuner must match your engine year—for example, a 2020 Ford F350 6.7 Powerstroke requires a different strategy file than a 2014 version.

Q3: Can I install the DPF delete kit myself?

A: Yes—SPELAB DPF delete kits are designed with bolt-on compatibility for most models, like the 2005 6.0 Powerstroke 5 inch turbo back exhaust and 6.7L downpipe-back systems. If you have basic mechanical tools and follow the included instructions (or our video tutorials), you can install it in 2–4 hours. Some tuning may require professional setup.

Q4: What happens to my fuel economy after deleting the DPF?

A: Most users see a 2–4 MPG increase on average, depending on driving habits and tuning. For example, a Ford F250 6.7 Powerstroke DPF delete truck used for towing often reports better throttle response and less turbo strain, improving both mileage and reliability.

Q5: Will a DPF delete void my warranty?

A: Yes. Any modification to emissions systems—including DPF, DEF, or EGR delete—can void emissions-related warranties. That said, many owners of out-of-warranty or purpose-built trucks choose to delete for the added performance, especially on the 6.0 Powerstroke or 6.4 Powerstroke platforms.

Q6: What’s the difference between a turbo-back and a DPF-back exhaust?

A:

• Turbo-back replaces everything from the turbo outlet all the way to the tailpipe, offering the biggest airflow gains (great for full builds or racing).

• DPF-back only replaces the exhaust after the DPF, ideal for users who want sound and minor flow gains without full emissions delete.
  For example, the 3.0 Powerstroke 4” turbo-back gives more noticeable gains than a DPF-back kit alone.
