This 6.7 Powerstroke DPF delete race pipe is a 4-inch exhaust upgrade designed for 2011-2019 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickup trucks with the 6.7L Powerstroke diesel engine. It replaces the restrictive factory diesel particulate filter and catalytic converter section with a freer-flowing race pipe. Whether you're building a professional off-road vehicle or looking to get rid of the hassles of factory emission control systems, this racing exhaust will deliver more power, a deeper roar, and a more reliable diesel driving experience.
This race pipe fits the following vehicles:
Fitment conditions:
This 6.7 Powerstroke race pipe is made from T-409 stainless steel with 2mm wall thickness. Compared with standard OEM-style aluminized steel exhaust materials, T-409 stainless steel offers better heat resistance and improved durability for diesel exhaust applications.
| Comparison Item | T-409 Stainless Steel | Aluminized Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | Better suited for high-heat diesel exhaust use | More limited under repeated high heat |
| Corrosion Resistance | Better long-term resistance to rust and moisture | More likely to wear over time |
| Durability | Better for long-term diesel exhaust service | More suitable for lower-cost replacement use |
| Best Use | Performance, off-road, and competition exhaust systems | Budget-oriented exhaust replacements |
| Overall Value | Stronger balance of durability and long-term value | Lower upfront cost, lower long-term durability |
By replacing the stock DPF and catalytic converter with a smoother 4-inch 6.7 Powerstroke race pipe, exhaust gases can flow more smoothly out of the system. A smoother exhaust path helps reduce exhaust back pressure. Furthermore, the smoother 4-inch exhaust path allows for more efficient heat dissipation, helping to maintain lower EGT and better exhaust flow under demanding conditions.
One of the main reasons vehicle owners upgrade is to reduce long-term maintenance and costs. Factory-installed DPF systems incur ongoing expenses due to regeneration-related fuel consumption, DPF cleaning, sensor-related issues, and ultimately, replacement costs.
Installing a DPF delete kit completely eliminates the factory regeneration process. This means no forced regeneration, no worries about filter clogging, and significantly reduced long-term maintenance costs. Removing the DPF and CAT can save thousands of dollars in fuel and replacement parts costs over the truck's entire lifespan.
When choosing between a race pipe and a downpipe-back exhaust, the main difference is how much of the factory exhaust system is being replaced and what kind of build the truck is intended for.
A race pipe is typically designed to replace the restrictive DPF and CAT with a simpler, freer-flowing pipe.
A downpipe-back system replaces the exhaust from the downpipe rearward, usually with larger tubing and a more complete exhaust routing setup.
| Comparison Item | Race Pipe | Downpipe-Back Exhaust |
|---|---|---|
| Main Purpose | Replaces the DPF/CAT section with a freer-flowing pipe | Replaces the exhaust system from the downpipe back |
| System Coverage | More focused, simpler section upgrade | More complete rear exhaust upgrade |
| Exhaust Restriction | Reduces restriction in the deleted section | Improves overall exhaust flow through the rear system |
| Sound Change | Usually louder and more raw | Typically deeper and more complete exhaust tone change |
| Best For | Off-road or competition builds focused on delete configuration | Buyers wanting a more complete exhaust system upgrade |
| Installation Scope | More focused replacement | Broader exhaust replacement |
If your goal is to remove the factory-installed restrictive aftertreatment and simplify the system, a racing exhaust is often a more straightforward choice.
If you want a more complete exhaust system upgrade and broader changes to flow, sound, and overall system layout, a 6.7 Powerstroke downpipe-back exhaust system might be a better option.
A tuner is not included; users can choose a tuner compatible with this removed exhaust.
Tuning Required: Removing the original DPF and CAT will result in fault codes, and if not properly tuned, the vehicle will enter limp mode. Therefore, installing this exhaust system requires a custom tuner capable of removal and tuning.
