Default New Exhaust Install ?

I’m installing my new DPF Delete exhaust system for my 08 LMM. I have two questions.
1. Do you pull the sensor for the cat converter all they back and unplug it or just dismount it and tie the thing up?
2. Do you cap off the lines for the DPF after you take the tubing/hoses down so dust and dirt don’t get in?

On mine I just unplugged mine and wrapped them up and tied them off. And just recently actually cut the wires at the engine cuz they were in the way. Most of the lines came off with the DPF and I just saved the hole unit in case anybody needed one.

Thanks, I did some more research and they are going to start emission testing next year (2011) on diesels here in PA. So I'll just tie up my Cat sensors. As for the DPF lines that are still on the truck after all the tubing and exhaust is removed, Im just going to plug them cause I dont want to ahve any issues when having to hook them back up once a year.

I did watch a flix on You Tube last night about an install on an 09 LMM and they replaced the exhaust and up loaded the Race Hot PPE level 3 tune (which is exactly what Im doing). after words they did a dyno run and it only improved by 50 hp! WTF!?!? I thought it would have been more then 50hp. I dont have any tran's work done yet so i dont want to push more then 160hp through the trany but is that really true?



Thanks Again
