Discontinuing all their EGR delete kits? All makes, all kits. I don't get it.

Probably something to do with the EPA having their hissy fit and saying there is no such thing as an off-road diesel anymore. The tunes have all but dried up, so it would make sense that the demand for the hardware would drop off as well.

Dang, I have yet to delete mine. I guess I'll be buying today to get er done.

Hahahaha, AGREED! All I know is, I'm voting for ol Joe for senator.

Sinister Diesel will no longer offer any EGR or DPF delete race products. This was not an easy decision to make, but with the aggressive nationwide EPA enforcement sweep, it is a decision we were forced to make. Let’s take this time to notify all installers, shops, retailers and private individuals.
EPA will continue enforcement of ALL race parts. They are not going away. The EPA is a federal agency which means jurisdiction in all 50 States (anywhere in the USA). Irrespective of local smog laws they can and have assessed fines. In some cases, the EPA has opened criminal investigations into companies and individuals selling, manufacturing, installing and/or using emission defeating devices on vehicles used for non-racing scenarios or modified with race parts. As EPA made clear publicly, they will not stop until all emission defeating devices and race parts are eliminated from the market. Not only is the EPA going after companies, manufacturers and individuals, our opinion is that they will be going after businesses and/or private parties that use the defeat devices.
Our industry is changing and Sinister has always strived to be ahead of the curve. This is one more step to continue our goal.
Inventory is limited on race products and will not be replenished once depleted. We appreciate your understanding on this matter and would love to discuss other products of ours that can replace these race parts.

Ok, not to pull one of those million "is this deleted," but I was jawing with my neighbor and he said this EGR has been blocked. I said no, but he knows a little more about diesels than I do. Can yall confirm?

Hahahaha!
I'm taking the pic from the right fender. It's the smaller unit that comes off the EGR cooler and it's capped off with a metal panel. It's just dirty.

Hahaha, no worries. I should probably post it in the tech section. Dam neighbor got me double thinking now...
And I just realized I’m in General Diesel Discussion. I usually try to stay in the 6.7 sections.
It’s scary out here.

Haha. It’s not that. 6.7s are all that I know, and I don’t know them very well, so I’m not much use out here.
Plus it’s hard to hear y’all from my high horse.

Hahahahahahahaha. My brother drives a beautiful 17 6.7. We go back and forth, but that sucker is nice. Ima poor boy, 6.0 for me.
Now talk cars with me, and that's where my money is!

Well nobody told you what the cap is from what I am seeing. That is the cap you pull to back flush the oil cooler. You will also have to pull the block drain on that side (right side) to get what comes out of the cooler out of the system. So starter has to come out to get to itas well. So fun work.
