Mercedes Sprinter 3.0L - 3" DPF Delete Parts Kit (2019-2023)

Upgrade the exhaust on your compatible 2019–2023 Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter 3.0L V6 diesel with this 3" stainless steel DPF delete exhaust kit. Designed for the revised exhaust configuration found on later Sprinter models, this system replaces the factory DPF exhaust section with mandrel-bent stainless steel piping for improved exhaust flow and reduced restriction.

The kit includes a 3" downpipe, midpipe, reducer adapter, and exhaust clamps for connection to the remaining factory exhaust. Built for compatible 3.0L V6 diesel applications, it provides an exhaust hardware solution for off-road and competition builds where permitted.

Important Fitment Notice – 2019–2023 Sprinter Models: Mercedes Sprinter engine and exhaust configurations changed during these model years. While this kit is designed for the revised 3.0L V6 exhaust configuration, fitment may vary and is not guaranteed for every vehicle within the listed year range.

Before ordering, confirm your vehicle's engine type, turbo outlet, and existing exhaust configuration. Some newer Sprinters, particularly 2023 models, may have different engine or exhaust setups that are not compatible with this kit.

Not sure if it fits? Contact JS Speedshop with your vehicle's year, model, and engine information so we can help verify compatibility before purchase.

Overview

Later Sprinter models introduced changes to the exhaust and turbo outlet configuration, making it important to use the correct piping for your vehicle.

This 3" DPF delete exhaust kit is designed for compatible Sprinter 3.0L V6 diesel applications with the revised exhaust layout. It replaces the factory DPF section with mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, providing a less restrictive exhaust path and helping reduce backpressure downstream of the turbocharger.

Built from 16-gauge stainless steel, the system features factory-style mounting brackets and a reducer adapter for connection to the remaining original exhaust.

Unlike the earlier 2010–2018 version, this kit is configured for the revised turbo outlet and exhaust arrangement. Because Sprinter configurations changed over the years, verifying your existing exhaust layout is essential before ordering.
