Let MB drag its knuckles long enough, and the public buyers of the best EGR delete kit for 6.7 Cummins or The Best or Nothing brand will end up subsidizing their $2B fine. From all the container ships, fuel tankers, cruise lines, and the military and
airports worldwide, the private diesel vehicles and diesel engines in farming and support roles(generators...) and small business doesn't equal 1% of the
former mentioned dirty emissions spewers on a good day. If one were to add OTR diesel tractors and the parcel/freight couriers, bump up the latter to 5%
dirty diesel emissions. And, if my numbers are wrong it doesn't mean I'm lying.
Yes, EGR and DPF deletes remove or bypass those systems to improve exhaust flow and performance, but you must have a proper tune or ECU reflash; otherwise, the engine will throw codes, run poorly, or go into limp mode. They are also illegal for on-road use in most areas.
