FITMENT
- 2011-2016 6.6L Chevy GMC Duramax LML 2500 HD 3500 HD Diesel.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Direct-injection technology endows GM 5.3L and 6.2L V8s with outstanding output and efficiency, but it leaves the intake path completely exposed to oil fouling. Because atomized fuel is injected straight into the combustion chamber rather than the intake tract, crankcase blow-by gases progressively coat the manifold interior, leading to severe carbon buildup on unwashed intake valves.
- Protect your GDI engine’s breathing tract with this high-capacity Billet Aluminum Catch Can System. Featuring multi-stage fluid separation and precision-mating brackets, it traps harmful PCV oil vapors and condensation before they degrade air quality—ensuring clean manifold airflow, preventing power loss, and extending engine longevity.
Key Features
- Swaps the pinched factory up-pipe for smooth, high-flow stainless steel tubing, pushing exhaust into the turbo faster for noticeably quicker boost recovery.
- Clears the exhaust manifold restriction right off the valves to slash EGTs during hard towing and high-boost pulls.
- Deletes the factory EGR cooler entirely, halting abrasive soot from clogging intake valves and removing the threat of internal coolant loss.
- Installs the up-pipe and EGR delete in one pass, sparing you a second teardown of the cramped rear engine bay.
FAQ
Q: What advantage does swapping out the factory up-pipe provide?
A: The factory up-pipe’s design introduces exhaust-flow restrictions ahead of the turbocharger. Swapping in a high-flow up-pipe improves exhaust flow efficiency, lowers restriction, and supports quicker turbo response under load.
Q: Why should the up-pipe and EGR delete be installed together?
A: Both components live in a hard-to-reach spot behind the engine, close to the firewall. Installing them at the same time cuts down on repeated teardown and labor, making the job far more efficient overall.
Q: Does this kit take care of issues tied to the EGR cooler?
A: Yes. The kit deletes the factory EGR cooler from the system and includes components intended to reroute coolant flow properly. This simplifies the factory EGR system and helps keep the intake environment cleaner.
Q: What occurs if I operate the truck without custom tuning following installation?
A: The factory ECM may detect the missing emissions components and trigger diagnostic codes or reduced-power modes. After installation, proper tuning is typically required to match your vehicle’s configuration and ensure optimal operation.
