EGR BLOCK OFF
I’m fixing to put my 19 on the weight loss program. Guy doing the work is doing what he calls the ghost delete, hull out the space ship and basically leave all components attached. EGR will be turned off via tune. Should I and which of the EGR pipes need to be blocked off at a minimum? He says just turn off and drive it. Just looking for 2nd opinions.

You can successfully unplug the egr and leave it on the truck. If down the road if you wanna clean the engine bay up a bit you can remove it and the do the block off plates.
as for the DPF, might be cheaper and less work to get a straight pipe and call it a day

the benefit is passing a visual inspection.

The drawback is if you have to go back to stock (laws are getting tighter all the time) you're screwed because the exhaust components are super pricey.

There are a surprising amount of DPFs and SCR components floating around facebook market place, if they are going the stealth route, buy a used set if possible, gut those and keep the originals. Adds to the cost but cuts down on the variables.

Yeah, but how long before DOT starts shoving a camera scope up the tailpipe...
