So if we are worried about rusting soft plugs, that is why we go with overkill. weld in the big plugs and you don't go back in , do it and forget about it.

 

I think stainless is too hard for soft plugs. My reason for not welding is so it can be returned to stock later if needed.

 

I put an EGR Delete on about a year ago on my F350 and it was the same as most, aluminum blockoff, with Stainless j-tube and up-pipe. I just ordered a new kit off ebay for my Excursion that uses a Stainless up pipe, but it has a zinc coated steel block-off plate. It seems much more solid than the sinister and other kits that use the aluminum pieces. Here is the link if you want to check it out. Ford Diesel 6.0 EGR Delete Kit F250- F550, Exscursion | eBay
