EGR/DPF Delete 2011-2016 LML 6.6L Duramax All-in-One Kit

Combining an EGR delete with a DPF delete comprehensively optimizes your 2011-2016 LML 6.6L Duramax diesel engine performance by eliminating two major restrictive emissions systems. This modification significantly improves power, efficiency, and engine longevity while reducing maintenance needs.

LML EGR&DPF Delete Kit Key Features

Power Increase

• Removes exhaust backpressure from DPF, allowing turbo to spool faster
• Eliminates EGR’s recirculated hot gases, reducing intake air temperatures
• Typical gains: 15-30% more horsepower/torque (varies by tune)

Improved Engine Health

• Prevents EGR soot buildup in intake manifold and valves
• Stops DPF-related regen cycles that dilute engine oil with fuel
• Reduces carbon deposits in combustion chambers

Enhanced Fuel Economy

• No DPF regens wasting fuel (up to 2-3 MPG improvement)
• Cleaner combustion without EGR’s oxygen-depleted air

Simplified Maintenance

• Eliminates DPF filter replacements ($1,000+ savings)
• No EGR valve/cooler failures to repair
• Reduces oil change frequency (no soot contamination)

Thermal Management

• Lower EGTs (exhaust gas temps) without EGR’s hot gas reintroduction
• Reduced risk of turbo overheating during heavy loads

Tuner Required for Installation

Installing a LML 6.6L Duramx delete pipe requires more than just swapping out hardware. When removing of the DPF, CAT, SCR, and/or DOC involves removing and eliminating emission related sensors. A DPF delete capable tuner is required to prevent any check engine light or diagnostic trouble codes from setting. Looking for a complete LML delete solution? Check out our full LML Delete Kit here.

How to Choose DPF Delete?

4” vs 5” Straight Pipe Comparison

When choosing a LML 6.6L Duramx delete pipe, the most common options are 4-inch and 5-inch straight pipes. The 4-inch straight pipe delivers a tighter, raspier exhaust note—especially noticeable at lower RPMs—making it ideal for daily driving or mildly tuned setups where excessive drone is undesirable. In contrast, the 5 inch straight pipe LML 6.6L Duramx offers a deeper, more refined tone with less high-pitch resonance. It excels in high-output builds and towing scenarios, where increased exhaust flow is beneficial.

Driver feedback suggests:

• 4”straight pipe is great for stock-to-lightly-modded trucks and a quieter cabin
• 5” straight pipe is perfect for aggressive builds, deeper tone lovers, or anyone maximizing exhaust performance

Different Types of DPF Delete

DPF Race Delete

• Only removes the DPF (keeps stock downpipe)
• Minimal performance gain but cheapest option
• Best for budget-focused or emissions-testing avoidance

Downpipe-Back Delete

• Replaces exhaust from the turbo downpipe backward
• Improves mid-range power and throttle response
• Good for street builds keeping stock turbo

Turbo Back Delete

• Full system replacement from turbo outlet
• Includes high-flow downpipe for maximum efficiency
• Reduces turbo lag and boosts top-end power
• Top choice for tuned/high-performance engines

Dual Exit (5" only)

• Splits into dual exhaust paths
• Enhances cooling and flow for extreme applications
• Used in heavy towing or competition setups

Muffler vs. No Muffler

With Muffler

• Tames exhaust noise for daily driving
• Slight power restriction (~5-10HP)
• More likely to comply with local noise laws

Straight Pipe (No Muffler)

• Loud, aggressive exhaust note
• Unrestricted flow for max horsepower
• Often illegal for street use (noise/emissions)
• Reserved for off-road/race applications

• 2011-2015 Chevy / GMC Duramax Diesel LML. Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks. 
• 2015.5-2016 Chevy / GMC Duramax Diesel LML. Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks. 
• Does NOT fit Cab & Chassis truck.
