Do you have any stubby wrenches? Like I said I don't remember how it got it out but there isn't anything that sticks out that I really struggled with. Is there anything else you can remove to make more room?

Tried that, no enough room for stubby wrench. Did you have to remove the four bolts I marked in red to get the EGR cooler out as well. I don't think there's anything I can remove to get more room because that bolt is under the EGR cooler on the inside.

No I didn't remove those. I split the two coolers and took them out separately. Doing that gave me enough room to pull the rear cooler and egr valve out together.

I ended up taken the last bolt out with a 12 mm brake line wrench with a 90 degree opening. Now I just have to massage the downpipe out. Fxxx, there's coolant all over the place.

Finally finished up the EGR delete, the improved Profab plate is very solid. The only downside was I had to fabricate a connecting piece to hold the steel coolant line in place.

For the downpipe, I still couldn't figure out a way to get it out. Just make sure I did it correctly: I unbolted the three bolts holding the heat shield, then I bolt the downpipe back to place, then I tried to pull the heat shield out from the passenger wheel well.
Please advise.

I was able to pull the heat shield up through the top. Keep twisting it around. Cut it up and bend it if you have to.

I tried to separate it from where the L is (area "a" I marked in red in the picture), but I couldn't get to the forth bolt hiding underneath.

Invictus, did you remove the four bolts in area "b" I marked in green? How could you get to the two bolts there?

I took mine out in pieces.

Edit: for some reason, no picture showed up in the quote, you may have to go back to post #78 and #80 for reference.

Just a few tips on the 2015.5-2016 EGR delete:
1. You may have difficult time to take the EGR out in one piece, as shown in the two pictures, you can take the four bolts out from where I marked in red, Crossfire's picture shows what those look like after taken apart. Then you can loosen up the bolt holding the steel coolant line (where the shorter end of the blue hose will be hooked to) in place to get more room. It would be easier than trying to take it out in one piece.
2. If you are not going to replace up pipe, you don't have to take the small heat shield all the way out, you can just loose the 2 10mm bolts so you can get you wrench one the nuts (two from top, one from bottom) holding the EGR to the up pipe raiser. Putting back the small heat shield is a bxtch because you can't see nothing to line up the holes.
3. If you have a 2015.5-2016 with 3/4 heater core hose, you have two options: i) you can buy the kit made for 3/4 coolant line, disconnect the while quick disconnect fitting and hook the L shape hose direct to the steel coolant line. ii) or you can buy the old style made for 5/8 coolant line, then instead of hooking it to the steel line from the heater core, you can cut off the hose from the white quick disconnect fitting, and hook your L shape hose (small end) to it then hook it to the steel line using the fitting.
4. The steel coolant line (3/4) coming out of the firewall from the heater core can be moved up and down to make more room to slide the quick disconnect tool in.

If you do go with up pipe blocker plate, my first choice would be Profab/DHD. It is one solid piece made by stainless steel. Second would be XDP which has two piece design. Base on the position and setup of the up pipe raiser, the blocker only hook up to one of the supporting holes will fail, just a matter of time.

 

[sk123]

Tips for remove downpipe. You just need a long wooden/steel bar to push the top part of the heat shield against the firewall to make it as flat as possible, then pull from passenger side wheel well. It only takes a couple pulls to get it off. Then take the downpipe itself is super easy. If I am doing it again, it should take 15 mins to take the whole downpipe off.

hey guys I'm pretty new to this EGR delete stuff but I'm going to be deleting my truck soon and I'm wanting to install a LML max flow bridge, cold side tube, turbo inlet, and coldair intake by PPEI or HSP with the LB7 up pipe. I'm just wondering do i also have to buy an EGR delete kit so i have all the blocker plate or does this kit do all that?

If you are using LB7 up pipe, the you only need the dog bone style blacker plate which comes with any of those kits.

This write up help me a lot. It took me about 12 hrs to do. The one thing that helped out a lot was that we jacked up the tranny a little and doing that gave us a little more room to reach the bolts on the up pipe (3 bolts in the middle). Installing up pipe wasn't bad. The biggest issue was the coolant hose that went to the fire wall because plastic ended would not make a tight fit. Lucky my brother had an extra 90 degree coolant hose off his grand national. Trying to figure out that out took use about hr or so to figure it out to make it work and had to go into o Reilly's to get some extra hose and etc. Doing a full egr delete on my LML is night and day! Can't believe the difference!!

 

[Maximus1986]

Do you know if this kit will work with my 2015 lml? 3 hoses on the fire wall passenger and middle appear to be 5/8 and driver side looks like it is possibly bigger. It is about 6 inches long and then steps down to a much smaller hose. Pics

 

[sk123]

The one in the middle is a quick disconnect one. That's the one you are going to disconnect. The one on the drive side is not from the fire wall, that hose will not be reused. The L shape hose in the kit is for connecting those two ends. Don't touch the passenger side one. It has nothing to do with EGT delete.

Yes. I still can't believe how much more room without that stupid EGR.
I am 5'10", after turning the steering wheel all the way to the left, I could sit "up" before the passenger wheel well "behind" the tire. Would make it those bolt more reachable. But I didn't replace my up pipe.

So the only one im removing is the middle and it has to be 5/8? Does scd performance make a plate for the pass up pipe or should I just replace it with new uppipe

2015.5 is 3/4, prior ones are 5/8. I did a profab plate for the up pipe because it has the best support. Replace with new up pipe would be the best.

 

[Maximus1986]

Does this look normal? No othere damage to blades no gouging or scrapes?

will this kit and install guide work on a 2016?
