A component package, designed for specific model year heavy-duty trucks, facilitates the removal of emissions control devices. These kits are often utilized to bypass or eliminate elements of the exhaust after-treatment system found on diesel-powered vehicles. Such systems typically include components like diesel particulate filters (DPFs), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves.
Modifying or removing factory-installed emissions equipment can result in improved fuel economy and potentially increased engine performance. Historically, these modifications were sought to address issues related to system malfunctions or excessive maintenance costs associated with complex emissions control technologies. It is important to acknowledge that altering or disabling emissions systems often carries legal and environmental implications.
