DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• The factory Exhaust Gas Recirculation system on the 07.5-24 Ram 6.7L Cummins is designed to pump hot, dirty exhaust gases back into your engine’s intake air stream.
  
• Over time, the heavy carbon soot from the exhaust mixes with oily crankcase vapors to create a thick, corrosive sludge. This sludge heavily restricts airflow, jams your intake valves, raises EGTs, and can eventually lead to head gasket failure or severe engine wear.

• Premium Welded Aluminum: Built from premium lightweight aluminum tubing, precision welded and pressure-tested to handle high boost pressures without leaking or warping.
  
• Eliminates Engine Shutdown: Replaces the unstable moving butterfly valve with a fixed, open straight-through design, completely removing the risk of unexpected valve closure under heavy load.
• Maximizes Intake Airflow: The stock valve assembly obstructs and creates heavy air turbulence even when fully open. This delete pipe provides a smooth, straight path for maximum air volume.
• Improves Turbo Spool & Response: Reducing intake restrictions allows your turbocharger to spool up faster, sharpening throttle response and helping to lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures.

FAQ

Q: Why did the factory design the throttle valve with these air restrictions?

A: Once tuned, the factory valve becomes an unnecessary restriction and failure risk, as its original purpose was only to limit fresh air and force dirty exhaust into the engine for emissions and DPF regeneration.

Q: Can this throttle valve delete pipe be used with an aftermarket intake manifold?

A: Yes. It features the standard factory bolt pattern and flange size. It will bolt directly to any aftermarket intake manifold horn that is designed to accept the stock 6.7L Cummins throttle valve housing.

Q: What performance gains will I notice after removing the throttle valve?

A: Removing the intake bottleneck delivers sharper throttle response and faster turbo spool-up while lowering EGTs to prevent power drop-off under heavy towing.

Q: Will removing the throttle valve make my engine turn off differently?

A: Yes. You may notice a slightly harder shudder when turning off the key. The factory valve slams shut to instantly choke the engine to a stop; without it, the engine dies naturally by cutting fuel, which is completely safe for your Cummins.
