4"/5" 2017-2025 L5P 6.6 Duramax DPF Delete Race Pipe Chevy GMC | SPELAB

Note: Spelab 6.6L Duramax L5P DP-Back must be used together with our downpipe. The factory downpipe has an integrated SCR assembly and cannot connect directly. Ours must be installed first to allow proper attachment of the subsequent exhaust section.

Unlock your 2017-2024 L5P 6.6L Duramax's true potential with this high-performance DPF delete pipe. Our precision-engineered solution eliminates restrictive factory filters, dramatically reducing exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) while improving turbo spool-up and throttle response. The mandrel-bent construction ensures maximum flow efficiency, helping your diesel breathe easier. Perfect for off-road enthusiasts seeking better power delivery and reduced maintenance hassles.

Specification

Benefits

Expect to see a significant increase in fuel mileage. If your DPF is plugged up your probably averaging about 13-14 mpg. More or less depending on the severity of the restriction. After deleting the DPF/CAT expect to get a combined mileage of 18-19 mpg.

• It removes the need to service the DPF at regular intervals (cleaning, replacement)
• A DPF delete will remove the possibility of a DPF failure which could cause expensive diesel repairs
• Due to less exhaust backpressure, the DPF delete increases exhaust flow and therefore increases the performance of your motor!
• Paired with an ECU remap, the DPF delete is proven to increase power and torque for all vehicles
• You will get a FREE high-quality exhaust tip for 4''&5'' Dp-back – unlike others who charge extra!

Installation

DPF Delete Race Pipe Instruction for L5P

Install takes about 1hr with basic hand tools done on the ground of your driveway or garage. Quicker if you have automotive style lift. Cutting may be be required to fit shorter wheelbase bed/cab configurations. Clamps, hangers and hardware are included. You may have to re-use some factory hardware.
Tuner Required: Removal 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.

Crew cab short bed & crew cab long bed. This will not fit the 3500/4500/5500 Cab & Chassis commercial style truck.

Q1. What’s the difference between 4" and 5" exhaust systems?

• 4" – Better for mild/moderate tunes, retains some backpressure for low-end torque.
• 5" – Best for high-horsepower builds, maximizes flow for reduced EGTs and top-end power.

Q2. Will a magnet stick to this pipe? Is it really stainless steel?

Yes – This pipe uses T-409 stainless steel, which is still magnetic (unlike T-304). It offers excellent corrosion resistance while being more affordable than T-304.

Q3. Does this fit both short-bed and long-bed Crew Cab trucks?

• Yes – Fits all 2017-2025 L5P Duramax Crew Cab configurations (short bed & long bed).
• Does NOT fit Cab & Chassis models.

Q4. How thick is the pipe? Will it last?

2mm thick T-409 stainless steel – Durable enough for long-term use without excessive weight.

Q5. Is this a full turbo-back or just downpipe-back?

• Downpipe-Back – Replaces everything after the downpipe (DPF & exhaust).
• For a full turbo-back system, you’ll need an additional DPF-delete downpipe.

Q6. Will this improve performance?

• Yes! Benefits include:
• Lower EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures)
• Faster turbo spool
• Better fuel efficiency (with proper tuning)
• No more DPF clogging issues

Q7. Is this street legal?

⚠ Off-Road Use Only – DPF removal is illegal for on-road vehicles in most regions. For competition/racing use only.
