    You do not have to delete your throttle valve to just run deleted. You can simply unplug it.

    However if you want to spend money and spend it wisely, look at buying a GDP mega flow intake horn that deletes the throttle valve in the process. It looks great and adds a little airflow in the process.

    I've never been a big fan of Banks but after doing a little looking around and asking people using different products

    I'll be replacing my Shibby elbow with a Banks 4"
    Their 3.5" and 4" delete the TV

    Awesome thank you! What do you think about a grid heater delete on my ‘15 3500 pro and cons?

    Grid heater doesn't hurt anything unless it gets clogged up with soot. When you disable/delete the EGR it eliminates sending exhaust through the intake which keeps the grid heater nice and clean.

    I have a 2016 2500 and did the lite option delete with DRD with 5" SS exhaust. I ask Ray at DRD this same question and he told me to not waste may money because it would not make any improvements to performance, just dress up. So if you not going for greater HP, you will not need it. Hope this helps.

    You won't really feel any big difference removing all that stuff or even the tuning. Only way you start to notice is after you start swapping transmission parts or a built transmission. To go with the tuning and engine upgrades
    Do they help your engine run cleaner and more efficiently yes

    Only thing you'd run into with a grid delete is under about 50° the computer may tell the truck to cycle it on. You need to start the truck before the plug indicator turns off. That is something I was having a problem with and getting a DTC. Starting before it cycles on/off doesn't allow any codes
    When it gets to be winter the truck will be plugged in for sure. Under about 30° to be safe
