Delete EGR but keep the DPF
Is it possible to delete the EGR but keep the DPF intact? I have a 2012 and really like the clean exhaustbut would like to get rid of the EGR.

You can leave the upper cat in-place, and possibly the lower one (never heard of anyone doing that, but I don't see why not).
But keeping the DPF while ditching the EGR is like breathing cleaner air, but still having a bad case of constipation.

I don't believe that cooled EGR will cause the DPF to plug. It's job is to lower combustion temperatures and this retards the formation of NOX. In theory you should have a cleaner burn with more abundant O2. The DPF is designed to reduce the amount of soot that comes from burning diesel fuel.
If I'm missing something would you mind explaining?

I have to agree. The newer trucks with Def have a reduced EGR cycle but their DPF doesn't plug up, it actually regens less. The def reduces NOX, not soot.
