Downpipe or Stock?

1188 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Gotcha
So I need to have my turbo reconditioned, new core and nozzle ring, which will be in the next two weeks. I am contemplating if I should put a downpipe on.....reason being the DPF and CAT is in one canister, DPF insides were removed in 2018, then I saw this plate in the "cat" connecting to the turbo, which in my mind is a restriction. I am just scared removing it, may cause other problems....and I am not getting a lot of info on this...
Will also be doing a re-tune.

I did a back box delete a year ago and lost torque bottom end, so I had the back box put back. But this time I will be doing a new tune after turbo recon.
What do you think, yes or no....is this piece very important....or just a restriction...not sure why it was put in, maybe just for emissions...?

this connected to the turbo?
my 98 t444e has an exhaust valve after the turbo that closes to make the truck warm up faster at start
supposedly for the heater...
