Best Delete Kit for 6.7 Powerstroke: Top Picks 2026

A regen starting halfway through a tow, another DEF warning when you need the truck, or an EGR-related repair that puts it back in the shop - these are the problems that make many 6.7 Powerstroke owners start looking beyond the stock emissions setup.

Choosing the kit is where things get complicated. A setup that fits a 2012 F-250 pickup may be wrong for a 2018 Cab & Chassis or a newer Super Duty because ECM strategies, EGR hardware, exhaust fitment, and tuning options change by year and body style. That is why the ranking below matches each pick to the truck it actually makes sense for.

For 2011-2019 6.7 Powerstroke pickups, our #1 overall pick is the Full Delete Kit with Mini Maxx V2. It combines a preloaded tuner with its own display, matched EGR components, and multiple exhaust configurations in one package, starting at $1,397.

We ranked all five kits by what matters when choosing a complete setup: package completeness, tuner compatibility with the truck’s ECM generation, post-purchase tuning support, Pickup vs. Cab & Chassis fitment, and price-to-value. The ranking also reflects the fitment questions, ordering issues, and support requests we see from 6.7 Powerstroke owners.

* Prices checked August 13, 2026. Year, exhaust, muffler, EGR, and transmission-tuning selections can change the final price.

If you want a complete package without turning the tuning process into another project, this is the 6.7 Powerstroke full delete kit we would look at first for a 2011-2019 pickup. The biggest advantage of the Mini Maxx V2 setup is how self-contained it is: the calibrations are preloaded, the tuner has its own display, and you are not relying on a phone just to use the device.

That makes a lot of sense on a work truck. Maybe your F250 spends Monday through Friday pulling equipment and you want a dedicated screen in the cab for monitoring. Or maybe this is your personal truck and you simply want to install the correct hardware, load the tune, and drive instead of dealing with separate tuning devices and files.

What’s in the Box

• Mini Maxx V2 with preloaded delete calibrations
• Delete pipe, 4-inch, or 5-inch exhaust
• Year-specific EGR cooler and valve hardware
• Straight-pipe or muffled configuration, depending on selection
• Required clamps, brackets, fasteners, and instructions

Available tune levels: Stock / Tow +50 HP / Street +100 HP / Performance +150 HP.

What makes this package our best overall value is not one flashy feature. It is the combination. You get the tuner, monitoring display, calibration, exhaust solution, and matching EGR hardware in one order. For the owner who wants a straightforward delete kit with tuner rather than piecing a system together component by component, that is a strong argument.

Pros: 

• Preloaded tuning makes setup straightforward
• Dedicated in-cab monitoring screen 
• Several exhaust configurations  
• Matching EGR hardware  
• Lower cost than buying separately   

Cons: 

• The tuning workflow is less modern than EZ Lynk  
• SOTF is not available on 2017-2019 applications

If your truck is a newer Super Duty and you want tuning support that can follow the truck after installation, this is the bundle we would put at the top of the list. EZ Lynk gives you app-based monitoring, diagnostics, tune delivery, and the ability to receive remote revisions without replacing the tuning hardware.[4]

That matters in real life. Think about a daily-driven truck that also pulls a trailer on weekends, where being able to log what the truck is doing and communicate remotely about the calibration is useful. It is also a good fit for the owner who does not want to manage tune files manually on a laptop every time something needs to be updated.

What’s in the Box

• EZ Lynk Auto Agent 3 interface
• Vehicle-specific engine tune files
• Delete pipe or 4-inch/5-inch T-409 exhaust
• Year-specific EGR delete components
• Required 2023-2026 downpipe
• Clamps, hangers, mounting hardware, and instructions

Available tune levels: Factory Baseline / +30 / +60 / +90 / +130 HP.

The exact tuning setup depends on the model year. SOTF support or a single calibration is determined by the application, so 2022 needs to be confirmed accordingly. TCM tuning is optional for supported 2023-2025 trucks, while 2026 is ECM-only.

This is also why we prefer the complete bundle over starting with an EZ Lynk by itself. The tuning hardware is only one piece of the job. Here, it is paired with the exhaust, year-specific EGR components, and, where required, the newer downpipe. You are ordering a system built around the truck rather than hoping several separately purchased components work together.

Pros: 

• Remote tune delivery and revisions
• Live monitoring and diagnostics from the app  
• Complete newer-truck hardware package  
• Required 2023-2026 downpipe included 
• Optional TCM tuning on supported 2023-2025 applications

Cons: 

• Requires a compatible phone and initial app setup 
• Highest starting price among the pickup kits in this ranking

Choose the SCT BDX bundle instead of our Mini Maxx pick if you specifically want a conventional handheld tuner with vehicle-specific custom files and SOTF support where available. It keeps the familiar dedicated-device workflow while giving you more application-specific tuning than a simple preloaded setup.

This is the option we would consider for a truck that works during the week but also tows regularly, especially when having supported tune choices matters. It also suits owners who would rather keep a dedicated tuner in the truck than use their phone as the main tuning interface.

What’s in the Box

• SCT BDX handheld with Wi-Fi tune delivery
• Vehicle-specific custom tune files
• Delete pipe or 4-inch/5-inch stainless exhaust
• Matching EGR cooler and valve delete kit
• Muffler choice and installation hardware

Available tune levels:

2011-2014: Stock / +50 / +100 / +150 HP
2015-2019: Stock / +50 / +100 / +150 / +200 HP

SOTF and transmission tuning are supplied where supported and selected.

The important difference here is that the tune is built around the vehicle information you provide. You submit the VIN and BDX serial number, the appropriate file is prepared, and the handheld becomes your dedicated tool for flashing, diagnostics, and logging.[3]

Just make sure you do that part before taking the truck apart. Unlike a preloaded Mini Maxx setup, the custom file needs to be ready before you begin the mechanical work.

Pros: 

• Vehicle-specific custom tuning  
• Dedicated handheld rather than phone-only operation 
• SOTF where supported  
• Wi-Fi tune delivery  
• Up to +200 HP listed for supported 2015-2019 configurations

Cons: 

• VIN and tuner serial number are required  
• You need to receive and verify the tune before beginning disassembly

If your F350, F450, or F550 is a Cab & Chassis truck, do not buy a pickup kit just because the engine and model year appear to match. This SCT package earns its place in the ranking because it combines the handheld tuning workflow with an exhaust designed around the commercial C&C frame.

Picture a service truck, flatbed, utility body, or work rig that spends long days under load. In that situation, correct exhaust routing and mounting are not minor details. Or maybe you simply want a dedicated handheld that stays with the truck instead of depending on a mobile app. Those are the situations where this package makes sense.

What’s in the Box

• SCT BDX handheld and custom tune
• C&C-specific 4-inch exhaust
• Straight-pipe or muffled configuration
• Cab & Chassis clamps, fittings, and hangers
• Optional application-specific EGR kit

Listed tune choices are Stock / +50 / +100 / +150 / +200 HP. The actual supplied C&C calibration can vary according to VIN, model year, transmission, and commercial configuration.

If you want a complete DPF/DEF/EGR package, select the EGR Delete Kit option when configuring the bundle. Selecting “None” means the physical EGR hardware is not included.

The real reason to choose this package, though, is not the options menu. It is fitment. Cab & Chassis trucks use different exhaust lengths, routing, hangers, and mounting points than pickups. Starting with a dedicated C&C package removes one of the easiest and most expensive ordering mistakes to make.

Pros: 

• C&C-specific exhaust routing and hardware 
• Dedicated SCT handheld 
• Custom calibration 
• Straight-pipe and muffled configurations available

Cons: 

• Physical EGR hardware must be selected for a full DPF/DEF/EGR package 
• Custom tune preparation adds a step before installation

Shop the SCT BDX Cab & Chassis Full Delete Kit

If you run a Cab & Chassis truck but want easier remote tune delivery and revisions than a traditional handheld provides, this is the package we would choose. It combines C&C-specific exhaust hardware with the EZ Lynk platform, so the tuning side can be handled through the app rather than a standalone programmer.

That can be especially useful on a working truck where you want access to live data and diagnostics without carrying another device. It also makes sense when remote tuning support matters more to you than getting the lowest possible entry price.

What’s in the Box

• EZ Lynk Auto Agent 3 and VIN-built files
• C&C-specific 4-inch stainless exhaust
• Straight-pipe or muffled configuration
• Selected year-specific EGR hardware
• Brackets, clamps, gaskets, and instructions

Available tune levels:

2011-2014: +30 / +60 / +90 / +120 / +150 HP
2015-2019: +30 / +60 / +100 / +150 / +200 HP

SOTF support is available on compatible configurations.

As with the SCT C&C package, select the EGR option if you want the physical EGR components included. Once configured that way, the package brings together the tuner, calibration, C&C-specific exhaust, EGR components, and mounting hardware.

The trade-off is price. It costs more than the SCT C&C route, so we would choose it because you specifically value EZ Lynk's app-based workflow, logging, and remote revisions, not simply because it is the more expensive tuner.

Pros: 

• Remote tune delivery and revisions 
• Live monitoring and diagnostics  
• C&C-specific exhaust and mounting hardware  
• Up to five tune levels on supported applications

Cons: 

• Requires mobile setup  
• Higher starting price than the SCT BDX C&C package

These five are our top picks, but they are not the entire Dieselino 6.7 Powerstroke catalog. You can also browse our 2011–2019 6.7 Powerstroke collection and 2020–2026 6.7 Powerstroke collection for other tuner and exhaust combinations. If none of the options above fits your truck, send us your VIN and we’ll help match the right setup.

There is no single tuner we would recommend for every 6.7 Powerstroke. The better question is what kind of tuning workflow you want after confirming compatibility with your model year and body style. The table below shows the practical differences between the three main choices in our ranking.

The Mini Maxx V2 is the simplest choice if you like the idea of preloaded tuning and a dedicated display. SCT BDX is the middle ground for someone who wants custom files but still prefers a traditional handheld. EZ Lynk makes the most sense when app-based monitoring, remote file delivery, and future revisions are priorities.

One rule applies to all three: do not buy the tuner first and figure out the rest later. Verify the ECM generation, model year, Pickup versus Cab & Chassis body, and required hardware before choosing the calibration platform. That is also why a complete bundle makes the choice easier: the tuner, exhaust, EGR hardware, and calibration are matched for the same truck configuration.

This choice gets overcomplicated all the time. First decide how much of the factory exhaust you actually want to replace. Then decide what diameter and sound you want.

A delete pipe is the simplest route when the compatible rear portion of the existing exhaust is staying on the truck. A complete 4-inch or 5-inch system replaces more of the exhaust and gives you more control over the final sound and configuration.

For a daily-driven or towing truck, 4-inch is usually the balanced choice. It gives you the full replacement layout without making exhaust volume the main feature of the truck. A 5-inch system is more attractive when you specifically want the larger exhaust and deeper, louder character.

And if you spend hours on the highway or tow long distances, do not dismiss the muffler option. A straight pipe may sound great when you first hear it outside the truck, but cabin drone is a different story after several hours behind the wheel.

On 2011-2019 pickups covered here, the factory downpipe stays in place and the compatible exhaust sections bolt directly to it, no cutting or welding required.  

Cab & Chassis is a separate conversation. Those trucks use different exhaust lengths, hanger locations, and routing, so always choose a dedicated C&C package rather than trying to adapt a pickup exhaust.

Two 6.7 Powerstroke trucks can look almost identical parked next to each other and still require different hardware or tuning. Ford changed the platform several times, which is why we keep coming back to model year instead of treating 2011-2026 as one application.

The 2015 revision changed EGR-related hardware. The 2017-2019 trucks represent another fitment group, while 2020+ brings a newer tuning strategy and additional hardware differences. By 2023-2026, the downpipe requirement and transmission-tuning availability add another layer to the order.

So if you are searching specifically for a 2018 6.7 Powerstroke delete kit or 2019 6.7 Powerstroke delete kit, start with the 2017–2019 configuration, which uses different EGR hardware and tuning requirements than earlier trucks. A 2022 6.7 Powerstroke delete kit requires a 2020–2022-specific setup because this generation uses a different ECM and tuning process.

Most wrong orders are not caused by someone forgetting that the truck has a 6.7L engine. The problems happen in the details: the wrong body style, the wrong generation, an incomplete configuration, or starting the installation before the calibration is ready. These are the five mistakes to avoid when choosing your kit.

1. Ordering by engine size alone: a 6.7L badge is not enough. Match the model year, ECM generation, and EGR layout before choosing the tuner and hardware.
2. Confusing Pickup with Cab & Chassis: an F350, F450, or F550 badge does not tell the whole story. C&C exhaust routing, lengths, and mounting points differ from pickup applications.
3. Comparing kits by starting price only: options like exhaust configuration, EGR hardware, and TCM tuning can change the final price. Compare fully configured kits instead.
4. Removing the factory hardware before the tune is ready: receive the tuner, confirm the calibration, and follow the tuning instructions before beginning the mechanical side of the installation.
5. Assuming every tune level works on every year: check the available horsepower levels, SOTF, and transmission tuning for your exact model year before choosing a kit.

If you are unsure which setup fits your truck, send us your VIN or give us a call. We’ll help you match the right kit to your truck before you order.

Complete pickup bundles in this comparison currently start at $1,397 for 2011-2019 and $2,829 for 2020-2026. Cab & Chassis packages start at $2,009, although selecting the physical EGR hardware changes the total for a complete DPF/DEF/EGR configuration.

This is where a full bundle usually makes more sense than shopping one component at a time. You are not just comparing the sum of a tuner, pipe, and EGR kit. You are also paying for the confidence that those components were selected for the same application and can be ordered together.

That does not mean the lowest advertised bundle price is automatically the cheapest finished build. Muffler choice, EGR hardware, TCM tuning, shipping, tax, and professional labor can all change the final number. Configure the kit the way you actually intend to use it before comparing prices.

A full delete is not something we would treat as an impulse modification. Before ordering, understand four things clearly: where the truck can legally be used, what the modification may mean for warranty coverage, how inspection or registration rules apply, and whether you can return the truck to stock later.[1] This is not a theoretical concern: the EPA publishes the resolutions of its vehicle and engine emissions cases, including settlements with businesses that sold or installed emissions-defeat hardware.[5]

• Off-road use only: Review the applicable emissions rules and federal, state, and local requirements before modifying the truck.
• Warranty: Aftermarket calibration and removal of factory emissions hardware may affect warranty coverage. Check the applicable terms beforehand.
• Inspection and registration: An “off-road use only” label does not make a modified road vehicle compliant with public-road emissions or inspection requirements.
• Return to stock: Where supported, save the original calibration and keep every factory component you remove.

After the delete, two things change immediately. First, exhaust gas is no longer routed back into the intake through the EGR system, which reduces soot buildup in the intake path. Second, the DEF/SCR system no longer requires DEF refills or monitors the removed aftertreatment hardware, eliminating DEF-related warnings and derates tied to that system. The exhaust portion replaces the relevant aftertreatment section.

These systems work together, which is another reason we prefer looking at complete configurations rather than buying unrelated pieces one at a time.

If you are still deciding whether a full package makes sense for an off-road build, it helps to look past tuner names and compare what actually changes on the truck. A complete setup affects the exhaust hardware, EGR system, DEF/SCR operation, regeneration strategy, and engine calibration together.[2]

For a lawful off-road build, the best kit is not necessarily the one with the highest advertised horsepower or biggest exhaust. It is the package that correctly matches the truck and gives you the tuning workflow, hardware, and support you actually want.
