Things to look out for
#16
The block offs consist of either the simple two plate kit or the complex four plate kit. Pretty easy either way. The most important thing to remember is to do the work while the engine is a little warm or you run the risk of breaking off a bolt in the manifold. Even if this happens, it is right on top. Should be about a 15 minute job if all goes well.
Don't delete for the mileage. Your only kidding yourself otherwise. It will be the same or less because you won't keep your foot out of it. There will be the exhaust smell again and the exhaust will be louder. Plan on spending a little time and money to get the tuning right. Most end up with an H&S with Gearhead tuning. The transmission shifting will be different, not bad, just different. Watch the forums, some guys are starting to smoke their trannys because of a heavy right foot.
I'm not complaining, just telling you the things that weren't told to me up front. I would do it again, no issue. Have fun with it.

Is the EGR block off as difficult as it was on the 6.0? I know some of you may not know about the 6.0.
Other then the impact on the environment and possibly getting caught and fined, are there any cons to removing the dpf and doing the EGR block?
Thanks for all the info.

EGR removal looks to be a lot easier to remove on a 6.7 vs a 6.0.
Cons: Loosing your warranty!
