Remove DPF vs Full Exhaust

I am new so I am sorry if this has been covered before. I did a search.

I am considering tuning my 6.7 with H&S. I know I'm in the minority, but I like the look of the stock exhaust tips.

Am I at any disadvantage at all by simply installing a DPF delete pipe and keeping the rest of the exhaust/muffler stock? I'd prefer to keep the exhaust tone as close to stock as possible.

What is the best option to keep the exhaust tone as stock sounding as possible. I've grown out of my loud, droning in the cab exhaust phase and want a quiet truck with all the power of a tuned truck.

Many thanks.

Rusty

I am in the same boat, and don't mind the factory tips. Although, I haven't put it on yet, I just got the delete pipe and will keep the factory exhaust. From what I understand, the only advantage to a straight pipe or aftermarket exhaust is sound. I actually like to hear myself think, so I'm fine with the stock system.

On my 6.4 I did just the delete pipe. For me it happened to be a PITA sliding the delete pipe onto the tail pipe. It kicked my ***.
On my 6.7 I went with the 5" straight MBRP.
Easy to install but much louder.
I am happy I did the full exhaust this time.

the delete pipe on a 6.7 is easy because it's flanged on the back side

and the factory resonator doesn't do a whole lot at all LOL

I like the factory tailpipe look.

I have the 4" DPF delete pipe...Easy install and the sound is perfect for my liking...Not too loud, especially when towing...

The performance is great...
