DOC Delete?
First I guess I should apologize for posting questions before really contributing anything. I plan on contributing on the delete once complete.
I've done the search on this forum and know a little but am hoping someone with more knowledge can help. I will be doing a DPF delete this spring. My goals:
Here is what I think I know;
If I delete the DOC along with the DPF, which manufacturer makes the best pipe? I am looking for longevity (i.e. stainless). Most of the sites do not seem to detail pipe composition.
Sorry, I know this topic has been beat to death. I just cannot find a good summary of the benefits or disadvantages of DOC delete. Thanks for any comments.
I've done the search on this forum and know a little but am hoping someone with more knowledge can help. I will be doing a DPF delete this spring. My goals:
- Engine longevity. I can almost stomach the crappy mileage with the DPF, but I am not prepared to sacrifice my engine lifespan for it.
- Mileage.. Of course
- I am not looking for tire ripping power, just a little additional torque and hp when towing
Here is what I think I know;
- DOC delete will improve mileage (verly slightly)
- DOC delete will increase exhaust noise (more hiss)
- DOC delete will not affect smoke (no more or no less)
- DOC delete will not affect the tuner (H&S mini maxx)
