Your lucky to get 15 on the highway. Ditch the DPF and block off the EGR. Do turbo back exhaust, either straight piped or put in a muffler. The two biggest DPF delete companies are H&S and BADP...theres 5 points in the new exhaust that dont help it much. Theres basically a cat in the downpipe, then the regular cat, then the DPF, the muffler, and then maybe a resonator. So you definately want a turbo back exhaust to get rid of the restriction in the factory downpipe

Some of the kits arent code-free andthrow a soft code that will shoe a CEL. Get an Edge Juice w/ Attitude or BullyDof PMT to clear the code on startup. H&S has a new downloader they just came out with that is supposed to be code free and will do the typical things a downloader does (adjust for tire size, add power, etc.) Apparently later this spring they will have a 200+hp tune available. This downloader would eliminate the fooler boxes that existing kits use to fool the computer into thinking the DPF is still in place.
