Black smoke

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any suggestions about this:

#1 On medium to hard acceleration, we get black smoke. Never did that before

For those who don't know, I've had the DEF/DPF and EGR deletes done about two years ago.

Any ideas?

I had black smoke the day since i get my dpf delete. I think it either the injectors are leaking, or the engine filters is plugged which can mess up fuel and air mixture. It doesn't really brother me lol. I actually like it sometime

Today i was doing some groceries shopping with my family. A young kid with his red genesis tail gated me like no tomorrow when i was go down the highway ramp. I saw his sunroof was opened. I was like perfect Time for him to eat some diesel smoke. Of course, his gf was beside him.

I lowed the gear to gear 2 and floor it! I took off from him. When i reached to the speed 1XX, he was so far behind and with a big black cloud of smoke 🤣. And he was mad. Once i slow down and let go the gas pedal, he finally catch up, changed 3 lane to pass me lol

ROFL.....

Yeah, I can live with the black smoke, just wondering why it's smoking now, 2 yrs after the deletes. My air filters were replaced about a year ago. If it's the injectors, then just too bad. We'll just continue to drive her as is.
