That's also what we saw on trucks at local shop here in good ol central WI. Not a 6.4 but on a DPF'd D/A and Cummins - between 1 and 2 rwhp were gained when turbo-backed straight piped. Also heard that from PPE when I purchased a tuner.
I think the biggest advantage of dpf removal would be to stop regen and gain mpg. On a D/A regen seems to happen about once every 500 miles lasts about 10 min. The exhaust is pretty warm - gonna try filter-back cool-duals from MBRP to get rid of some of that heat.

Wow 1HP. That is almost worth voiding your warranty and the potential fines from removing a clean emission part. NOT!!!!!!!!
Maybe someone else should have done their homework before removing their DPF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch!!!!!! That really hurts. Al would not own a Diesel truck he probably owns one of those ugly Toyota hybrid's and thinks he's helping the US economy in the process....LOL.....
I bet that the DPF removal will significantly reduce the EGT's.
If it increases the fuel mileage at all it may be worth it to some people.

If removing a $1500+ part only yields 1HP extra and pollutes the environment more, I will be keeping the DPF. Seems kind of retarded to remove it for only a 1HP gain. I don't know about you guys, but I bet if I went to a muffler shop and asked them to make me a delete pipe for the DPF, they would charge at least $100. That is way too much to spend for a 1HP gain that may cause the warranty to be voided.

On a side note, I really like your old truck and your new one. I would not even consider trading right now, if I were you. Where in Tennessee are you located and who installed the gauges on your old truck and the Outlook on your new one?

PS - Apparently you feel the same way I do about the tree-hugging hippy liberals running this country at the moment. I am just as adamate about the possible ban on weapons that may find it's way through Congress soon. And if Hillary wins, there's no telling what might happen!
