Full Delete and smoke

[SOMD_ECO]

I've noticed that many of the full deletes online don't show much smoke coming out the exhaust. The most I noticed was from a -20 cold start. I have no desire to roll coal and was wondering if those that have done full deletes, do you see much smoke?

I've done the full delete, no smoke, nothing.. I kinda was hoping for a little, but zero. I notice the faint smell of Diesel fuel outside of the vehicle from the exhaust, and I can hear the turbo spinning within the exhaust.
I wish I had done the delete sooner. No turbo lag, more power (40 hp), cooler running temps, no def, Win Win all around

I'm not exactly what tune the shop put on mine, I did have the GDE 2.0 tune prior to the delete, which was great.

Today's legitimate tuners all have good, non-smoking, stage 2 tunes

My truck only smokes when I have the max HP tune on and it only smokes a tiny amount, it wastes fuel if you have a rolling coal type of tube I wouldn't imagine you are burning through alot of fuel as it's just dumping it into the cylinders.

Very little smoke with my tune also, prior to my egr delete tune I also had a GDE tune, no smoke either. At night in the headlights of other cars I can see a little smoke.

Who did you order a delete kit from? I have seen so many on the web and not sure who to trust.

I didn’t, the shop I used provided parts.

Not getting smoke but my guys who use it are complaining of acrid exhaust. Most of the trucks on our industrial site are deletes (welders, industrial coatings etc) These guys are 3500 series and up.

Particulates, NOx are maybe the biggest culprits.
