alright yall. im doing it. i got my flo pro EGR delete and intake elbow, as well as a dpf delete pipe from Powerstroker67. im still waiting on KEM to get my 310 tune to me so i cant do anything yet :/ but i looked into the dpf delete. on the race pipe it has the flange on the back end, and a reduced size slip fit on the front, but on my truck it looks like it has a flange on the front? does the slip fit just slide into that and get clamped or what? im just getting prepared now, so in case i need to go buy something elese ill know about it when i do it. thanks guys!

You got the dpf/doc delete pipe? It should be pretty straight forward on how it goes. One end slips into the stock exhaust where the dpf/doc slip out and the other end is "flared out" where it attaches to the "rolled in" downpipe. Ball and socket style fit. Deleting the dpf is about as easy as it gets

A 13mm swivel makes the bolts in the ball and socket flange a heck of a lot easier.

I know how to take off an exhaust... I'm a tech. But I don't know if it's right or not I can only assume it is.

The ball and socket end goes toward the front of the truck and the reduced end is toward the rear of the truck where the delete pipe mates to the factory filter-back section on a dpf/doc delete pipe.
DPF/DOC delete pipe:


If you have the dpf delete pipe that leaves the cat in place, the big bolt up flange mates to the cat flange.
DPF only delete pipe:

In this picture you can see the DOC (cat) still bolted to the front of the pipe:



X2 on the 13mm swivel socket!

But there's no ball and socket on the race pipe. It's a 3/8 flange on one side and a reduced end on the other. That's what I'm saying.

So, it looks like the second picture I posted?

[fordborn]

Sorry I didn't see those the first time. Yeah. That's what I got. Not what I wanted. Figures.

If you are waiting on tunes, send it back and get the other pipe. Or, you could gut the CAT section but you won't be able to return the truck to stock tuning if you do that.

[fordborn]

Yeah that's what I'm doing. I emailed Rudy's I'm just waiting for a reply. Hahhaha
