Installing DPF Delete kits will improve engine power of your trucks
Many new diesel trucks now include filter technology, more particularly, a device called diesel particulate filter otherwise known as DPF.This device is designed to exterminate diesel particulate matter or what is commonly called soot, and eliminate visible smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. This is very important as currently, engine manufacturers are already being required to comply with increasingly stringent emissions standards that regulate particulate emissions from diesel engines. Unfortunately, the process that ensues hampers power and fuel mileage in the vehicle, which is the problem that DPF delete kits address.
Because DPF traps the soot in the exhaust under process called regeneration, the soots are burned at very high temperature leaving you a clear exhaust. The vehicle’s engine management computer will passively or actively control. Among other things, the process introduces the concept ofback pressure, which is what happens when the spent gases in the exhaust are hampered by the tight bends in the piping or air vents for example. Other testimonials say the regeneration process decreases the fuel efficiency of their vehicle. Eliminating the back pressure problem with DPF delete, thus freeing up the engine to work better, sends more power to the wheels, and allows it to burn less fuel. Some independent tests report an improvement of 4 to 7 mpg.
A standard DPF delete kit wouldusually include a DPF delete pipe, a touch screen programmer, aluminized or stainless exhaust and muffler, dual tailpiles catalytic converter delete pipe and standard tunes. The user may decide the component of the kit depending on the driver’s modification requirement as well as the improvement needed on the vehicle.
Manufacturers of DPF delete pipes, which function as direct bolt on replacement for the factory DPF, also claim that installation of the device can increase as much as 300 horsepower and500 lb/ft oftorque at the same time.The pipes can be used on Ford 6.GM LMM6,, 4L Powerstroke.6L Duramax or Dodge 6.7L Cummins Diesel engines, without having to use any check engine codes.
It should be noted, however, that since the process interferes with emissions, using DPF delete kits are only to be used off-road. Authorities said on-highway vehicles will be slapped a fine if they will be caught using DPF Delete kits in their vehicle.. Do not try to make alterations on the kits’ components or the warranty on the exhaust stack and EGR and turbo will be voided. According to some users, the trade off of losing warranty on their vehicle’s engine was worth the dramatic improvement it gave on their diesel engines.
