Description
What’s Included
| Component | Description |
| Mini Maxx V2 Tuner | Preloaded OBD-II tuner with emissions-off programming, four engine power levels, live data monitoring, and diagnostic functions. |
| EGR Delete Kit | Includes the plates, gaskets, mounting hardware, and components required for EGR valve and cooler removal to reduce soot recirculation into the intake. |
| Exhaust Option | Choose a DPF Delete Pipe, 4-inch Exhaust System, or 5-inch Exhaust System to replace the restrictive factory DPF/CAT and aftertreatment section. |
| Optional 2-Inch High-Flow Up-Pipe | Replaces the corresponding factory pipe and improves flow through that section of the exhaust system. |
| Installation Hardware | Includes the required clamps, connections, and supporting parts for the selected configuration. |
The All-in-One bundle combines the tuner, exhaust, EGR components, and required hardware into one complete package for the late LML platform.
Vehicle Compatibility
This LML delete kit is designed for:
- Years: 2015.5, 2016
- Make: Chevrolet / GMC
- Models: Silverado 2500HD, Silverado 3500HD, Sierra 2500HD, Sierra 3500HD
- Engine: 6.6L Duramax LML diesel
- Body style: Pickup
- Exhaust connection: 3-bolt flange
- Application: Off-road and competition use
The package is engineered specifically for late-production LML trucks. Early 2015 models use a different exhaust connection, so the 2015.5 production split is important for correct fitment.
How work?
The 2015.5-2016 6.6 Duramax LML delete kit combines mechanical emissions removal with matching ECM tuning. The selected exhaust configuration removes the restrictive DPF, CAT, and DEF/SCR aftertreatment section, while the EGR hardware eliminates exhaust-gas recirculation through the cooler and intake. Mini Maxx V2 changes the required engine and emissions strategies so the truck can operate with the selected components removed. Reduced exhaust restriction can improve throttle response, airflow, and overall engine performance.
Features
The package is designed around the late LML 3-bolt exhaust connection and provides three exhaust choices instead of forcing one configuration. Owners can keep more of the factory exhaust with a Delete Pipe or upgrade to a larger 4-inch or 5-inch system.
Mini Maxx V2 is preloaded, so separate custom tune files are not required. The tuner also provides live engine monitoring and supported diagnostic functions. Power changes are made through the programming menu; the LML configuration does not use true Switch-On-The-Fly tuning.
The package focuses on DPF, DEF/SCR, EGR, and exhaust removal, while normal CCV and engine maintenance remain part of regular truck service.
Tuning & Settings
The LML Duramax delete kit includes four Mini Maxx V2 engine settings:
| Power Level | Power Increase | Intended Use |
| Stock | 0 HP | Factory-level engine output |
| Tow | +30 HP | Daily driving and towing |
| Street | +65 HP | Stronger throttle response and acceleration |
| Performance | +100 HP | Highest available horsepower setting |
Changing between power levels requires reflashing through the tuner rather than switching levels while driving.
| Characteristic | Expected Change |
| Maximum Power Gain | Up to +100 HP |
| Fuel Economy | Approximately 5-15% potential improvement |
| EGT Under Load | Approximately 100-200°F potential reduction |
| DPF Regeneration | Eliminated after correct removal and tuning |
| Exhaust Restriction | Reduced with the factory aftertreatment removed |
| Intake Soot | Reduced after EGR recirculation is eliminated |
| Towing Response | Improved usable response; factory tow ratings remain unchanged |
Actual efficiency, boost response, fuel consumption, and performance depend on tune selection, engine condition, tires, load, and driving style.
Optional Add-Ons
- DPF Delete Pipe – replaces the restrictive factory filter and CAT section while retaining more of the original exhaust.
- 4-Inch Exhaust System – T409 stainless steel Downpipe-Back option with strong flow and practical sound levels.
- 5-Inch Exhaust System – larger-diameter upgrade with a deeper exhaust tone.
- No Muffler – provides a louder, more aggressive sound.
- With Muffler – reduces overall exhaust volume and highway drone.
- 2-Inch High-Flow Up-Pipe – optional performance upgrade for improved flow through the corresponding exhaust section.
Key Benefits
Up to +100 HP – four Mini Maxx V2 calibrations provide stock, towing, street, and performance choices.
Configurable Exhaust – choose a Delete Pipe, 4-inch system, or 5-inch system with or without a muffler.
Reduced Exhaust Restriction – deleting the factory particulate and aftertreatment components creates a freer-flowing path.
Cleaner Intake – EGR cooler and valve removal reduces soot returning to the engine intake.
Complete Late-LML Package – the LML full delete kit combines compatible tuning and hardware for 2015.5 and 2016 pickup models.
Installation Information
Installation instructions are provided with the package. Owners with basic-to-intermediate mechanical skills can complete the installation using metric sockets and wrenches, ratchets and extensions, a torque wrench, penetrating oil, an exhaust sensor socket, and safe lifting equipment.
A tuner plus Delete Pipe installation normally takes approximately 2-3 hours. A complete exhaust and EGR removal generally takes approximately 3-5 hours, with additional time possible for seized factory hardware or limited cooler access.
Mini Maxx V2 connects through the OBD-II port. Initial programming generally takes around 20-30 minutes. Stable battery voltage should be maintained during flashing, and the programming process should not be interrupted.
No More Emissions Codes
Correct Mini Maxx V2 programming prevents supported warnings, regeneration requests, limp mode, and derate conditions caused by the removed emissions components. Normal diagnostics for unrelated engine, fuel, turbo, transmission, wiring, and sensor failures remain active.
Common applicable code families include:
- DPF: P2002, P242F, P2452, P2453, P2458, P2459, P2463, P246C
- EGR: P0401, P0402, P0403, P0404, P0405, P0406, P2457
- DEF/SCR: P203B, P204F, P205B, P207F, P208A, P20B9, P20BA, P20EE, P229F
Exact DTC coverage depends on the ECM strategy and installed tune.
FAQ
The package combines the major tuning, EGR removal, and exhaust components required for the late LML platform in one configurable product. The 3-bolt fitment is designed specifically for 2015.5 and 2016 Silverado and Sierra HD pickups.
Mini Maxx V2 provides preloaded engine tuning, live monitoring, diagnostic functions, and four power levels: Stock, +30 HP, +65 HP, and +100 HP. A separate custom tuning service is not required for the supplied calibrations.
The Performance calibration can add up to +100 horsepower. Removing DPF regeneration, EGR soot recirculation, and restrictive exhaust components also eliminates several emissions-related operating issues, while overall reliability still depends on proper installation and regular diesel maintenance.
A correctly configured system can provide approximately 5-15% potential improvement in fuel efficiency. Results vary with tune level, vehicle condition, load, tires, gearing, and driving style.
Yes. An experienced DIY owner can install the hardware and program the tuner with normal shop tools and the supplied instructions. A diesel performance shop is recommended when EGR cooler work, exhaust installation, or ECM programming is unfamiliar.
