In any case, I really wanted to know how it worked for him. Too bad folks got hot under the collar about it.

This is what I learned from my 6.4 days
yes and no
while you can play with back pressure to fool you computer that you have a dpf, it will only last the duration of the defualt regen.
on a 6.4 the default was 500 miles and I think it’s the same for a 6.7
so when it enters the default regen....it will regen forever...becuase with out a dpf, the computer will not sense the 1200 degrees needed to conclude the regen completed.

At the moment, there isn’t enough options in Forscan to get into the PCM deep enough to do emissions removal.

What if you made an exhaust cut-out before the DPF and left it open around town, but closed it when on the highway. That way soot would still build up in the DPF occasionally and you would have regen's here and there but also get the benefit of no DPF when the cutout was open.
I wanted to do this on my Duramax, but with the cat right off the turbo it wouldn't work

Try it and report back. The pipe from the turbo on my CCLB goes to the B pillar before any restriction.

I'm not sure that's the reason, its likely because its more efficient to have it closer to the engine where all the heat is.

The back pressure sensors could be fooled if the correct values were known. The EGT readings the computer would look for could be fooled if correct values were known. The problem is the regens that happen every 500 miles regardless of the back pressure readings. This would initiate fuel dump into the exhaust system. From there, who knows what would happen. Using forscan would not stop the auto regens every 500 miles fuel flooding the exhaust.
Just do it the right way. $1,300 + a 24 rack of beers or less for the straight pipe, tuner, & tune. And throw in a small HP increase tune for improved mileage and be happy the gov hand isn't up your **** any longer.
