The modification of a 6.7 Powerstroke diesel engine through the removal of its emissions control components necessitates specific aftermarket kits. These kits typically include components to bypass or eliminate the diesel particulate filter (DPF), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and potentially the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. Selection hinges on factors such as desired performance gains, regulatory compliance in the operating environment, and installer expertise.
Modifying a vehicle’s emissions system can lead to increased engine efficiency and power output. Historically, such modifications were pursued to improve fuel economy and reliability by removing components prone to failure or restriction. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that altering or removing emissions control devices may contravene federal and local regulations, potentially incurring significant fines or penalties.
