EGR delete F250 possible problems..

Hi,

I have a 08 F250 6.4 liter Diesel.

I removed the EGR from my truck about 2 months ago. using the RCD EGR delete kit. As part of installing the kit there was a steel plate and gasket bolted to a flexible stainless steel exhaust line which fed into the EGR.
Immediately after installing the kit I noticed a rattle. I assumed it was from that flexible lines movement. Now 2 months later I'm experiencing a louder sound and also a hissing sound.
My question is, are these two related and if so what is the solution?
Can this flexible line also be deleted?

Thanks so much!

Tom

sounds related to me. I would consult with RCD about the matter and see what others have reported as well.

Getting any exhaust smell in the cab?

You removed both coolers and egr housing? Or is this just the block off plates, between the two coolers?
