Has anyone here done major upgrades on their diesel trucks lately? I've been looking into better airflow, exhaust improvements, and maybe even removing some restrictive components. Wondering what setups have given you noticeable performance and reliability boosts without compromising too much on efficiency?

I've gone down that road with my 2017 Ford and saw a huge difference once I addressed airflow and exhaust bottlenecks. One option worth checking out is the 6.7 powerstroke delete kit because it combines exhaust and tuning elements into one package, designed specifically to improve responsiveness and reduce buildup issues. Installation is straightforward if you know your way around basic tools, and results show up right after the first long haul.

Curious how much proper tuning alone can improve diesel performance without extra hardware? Seems like a lot of folks underestimate how software adjustments change the driving feel.
