A component package designed for specific diesel trucks produced in 2023, it facilitates the removal of factory-installed emissions control devices. These kits typically include hardware and software modifications intended to bypass or eliminate systems like the diesel particulate filter (DPF), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). An example would be a package containing a replacement exhaust pipe, electronic control module (ECM) tuner, and block-off plates.
The impetus behind acquiring such a package often stems from perceived improvements in fuel economy, power output, and long-term reliability by circumventing components prone to failure or requiring frequent maintenance. Historically, pre-emissions controlled diesel engines were simpler in design, and some owners seek to replicate that simpler architecture. However, deleting emissions systems can result in non-compliance with environmental regulations and potential legal repercussions.
