![]() These systems can wear out causing them to crack and leak engine coolant into the combustion chamber which can cause anything from poor running conditions to a blown engine. The EGR system uses a heat exchanger to exchange the heat from the hot exhaust gases into the engine's cooling system by running the engine coolant through a radiator-like device but instead of regular air passing through it to cool the coolant, it has hot exhaust gases flowing through it to cool them down before they reenter the combustion chamber. ![]() The DPF/DEF system will need to be physically removed from the vehicle but the EGR system is optional. The EGR system will be disabled by this recalibration and all the DPF/DEF/EGR error codes that would trigger a check engine light will also be disabled by this calibration. If you are exempt from these laws and want to get rid of these systems that came on the vehicle from the factory, you will need need to remove the DPF/DEF filters from the exhaust system and recalibrate the PCM using a delete-capable tuner. Those that use their trucks for agricultural or race applications don't need to meet emissions standards and would consider a deal for the benefits of an increase in power, an increase in fuel economy and better reliability with lower maintenance costs.įirst, we don't condone removing emissions systems on a road-going vehicle and is illegal in certain countries. The extra heat will reduce power and increase fuel use.Įxcessive idling of a diesel engine will cause these systems to clog faster. ![]() There have been fires reported from a truck in regen mode being parked on farmer fields, both of these emissions systems add extra heat into the exhaust and combustion chamber. The DPF system being clogged will cause your truck to go into regen mode which limits the power and speed allowed, the engine will then start to inject diesel into the chamber to super-heat it. ![]() This system works similarly to the DPF system and also scrubs soot and stores them in a canister located in the exhaust system.īoth of these systems will then burn off the excess soot by going into regen mode.ĮGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation and this system takes some of the exhaust gases leaving the combustion chamber and reintroduces them into the intake system to re-burn the exhaust to clean out more pollutants.Īll of these systems are part of the emissions systems in late model diesel vehicles and are required for road-going vehicles.īoth of these systems have dirty exhaust gases flowing through them and are bound to get clogged by deposits. Let's start with the basics, DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, it is a filter located in the exhaust system and its job is to scrub soot from the exhaust gases and store them in a canister.ĭEF stands for Diesel Engine Fluid, this is a urea-based fluid that is stored in a tank and usually has a filler located next to the diesel filler. Our mufflers and exhaust tips are always polished T304 stainless steel unless otherwise stated. T304 is the highest quality stainless steel used in the automotive world, is better at resisting corrosion, and can be easily mirror-polished. Our exhaust tips and mufflers are produced from T304 stainless steel. ![]() T409 will not resist corrosion as well as T304 in areas where roads are often salted. T409 has a chromium content of 10-12% and a nickel content of roughly 0.50%. T409 is a metal designed primarily for the automotive exhaust industry, brands such as Flowmaster, Invidia, Borla, etc use T409 as the standard exhaust material. Our stainless pipes are T409 which is the industry standard. Aluminized steel is an aluminum-silicon alloy coating added to mild steel which assures a tight metallurgical bond between the steel sheet and its aluminum coating, producing a material with a unique combination of properties that are not possessed by steel or aluminum alone. We offer both aluminized steel and stainless steel exhaust kits. ![]()
