An EGR delete can bring about several benefits. These include:
Improved Fuel Economy and Engine Longevity
An EGR delete helps you restore your diesel engine’s power levels which, in turn, also restores your overall fuel efficiency. Since an EGR delete kit sends the exhaust gas away from your car’s engine, it starts to run cleaner, too. Not only does it make the process increasingly efficient, but it also reduces the chances of DPF (diesel particulate filter) failure. So, overall, with this aftermarket kit, you can see an increase of up to 20% in your fuel economy. Along with that, the EGR delete kit can also improve your engine’s longevity.
Reduced Engine Temperature
EGR valves naturally contain a high content of soot. When the EGR system’s valve or coolers get clogged with soot, the exhaust gases start to circulate more around the system, resulting in a blockage. As a result, the temperatures around the engine rise and you experience a reduction in the engine’s power. However, when you bypass this, lower exhaust gas is produced. In turn, during operation, your vehicle experiences a reduced engine coolant temperature.
Helps Save Money
In addition, an EGR delete can also help you save money on some costly repairs. The EGR, if damaged, can be quite costly to repair and replace. An EGR delete removes the possibility of such damage, thereby saving your money.
FUNCTION: Coolant temperature run cooler because they are not running through EGR Cooler. Eliminates soot build-up and clogged EGR Valves. Hot exhaust gasses are not being re-routed back into the motor.
FAQ
Q1. Is this EGR Delete Kit specifically designed for the 2008–2010 6.4L Powerstroke?
Yes. This kit is engineered to fit all 2008, 2009, and 2010 Ford Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.4L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel engine. It ensures precise fitment and compatibility with factory mounting points.
Q2. What components are included in the SPELAB EGR Delete Kit?
The kit includes all necessary hardware for a complete EGR system removal: block-off plates, coolant plugs, gaskets, bolts, O-rings, and the intake pipe. Variants with up-pipes and downpipes are also available depending on your selected configuration.
Q3. Do I need a tuner to install this EGR delete kit?
Yes. A tuner or custom ECU calibration is required to disable EGR functions and related fault codes. Installing the kit without proper tuning will result in check engine lights, limp mode, or drivability issues.
Q4. Will this EGR delete kit improve engine performance?
Absolutely. Removing the EGR system reduces intake soot buildup, improves combustion efficiency, and lowers exhaust gas temperatures. This leads to more consistent power delivery and better long-term engine reliability.
Q5. Is this kit street-legal?
No. This EGR delete kit is intended for off-road or competition use only. It is not legal for use on public roads in states that follow federal or CARB emissions standards. Always check your local emissions regulations before installation.
Q6. Can I install this kit myself, or do I need a professional mechanic?
Installation requires moderate to advanced mechanical skills and access to basic tools. If you are unfamiliar with diesel engine disassembly or tuning, we strongly recommend having it installed by a qualified diesel technician.
Q7. Will this kit affect my coolant system or cause leaks?
Not if installed properly. The kit includes coolant reroute plugs and high-quality seals to prevent coolant leaks. Make sure all components are torqued to specification and pressure-tested after installation.
Q8. What are the benefits of combining this EGR delete with a DPF delete and tuning?
When paired with a DPF delete and proper tuning, you’ll experience increased horsepower, improved throttle response, reduced fuel consumption, and significantly less maintenance due to the elimination of soot buildup and regeneration cycles.
Q9. Does SPELAB offer different finish options or materials for this kit?
Yes. This kit is available in black, red, and silver finishes. All versions are constructed from high-grade materials for excellent heat resistance, corrosion protection, and long-term durability.
Q10. Will this EGR delete kit help with turbocharger reliability?
Yes. Removing the EGR system reduces exhaust restriction and eliminates the recirculation of hot, soot-laden gases back into the intake system—this helps reduce carbon buildup in the turbocharger and extends its lifespan.
