Q: Is DPF delete illegal?

A: DPF deletes are illegal in many jurisdictions, for example throughout the US, and in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. One of the biggest concerns with DPF deletes is the impact on emissions. DPF filters soot, and without exhaust components, harmful exhaust gases and particulates are released into the atmosphere, causing damage to both human health and the environment. Many jurisdictions have strict laws governing DPF deletes and why it's essential to research your local regulations before proceeding.While driving if you are caught without a DPF, you may be subject to hefty fines and vehicle impoundment.‍

Q: What are my risks if I remove my DPF?

A: If you live in the United States, removing your truck's emissions components is not legal for road use. You may be subject to a fine if caught. If you live in a country where these rules don't exist, then you're fine. But in the US, these components are for closed course race applications only.In addition, make sure you do NOT delete any physical components (such as the DPF and EGR) without also installing the delete tune. Your truck will either fall into limp mode if it's newer, or you can damage your truck. If you make any hardware changes, you need to make software changes as well.
