i am installing my DSP 5 switch and then gong to see Guy at SoCal diesel to get my 5 tunes, then i have about a 80 mile drive home. I will have 5 tunes with DPF delete in them, can i make it home with my dpf,cat still attached and only have a light or two on? once i get home i will install my straight exhaust and i plan to drive home on the millage tune or light tune anyway.

You should be fine as long as the filter isn't plugged before you take it to him. I've drove a few 30 miles or so before with no problems

Take a couple of wrenches in case you have to disconnect the filter from the front pipe. Will be loud but will get you where you need to go. But you should be fine as long as the soot build up is not bad before the flash. They could also do a manual regen before you tune it but that takes a lot of time and fuel.

You will be fine, just don't dog it untill you get the dpf off. The chances of you actually being abke to get the dpf off with hand tools are slim. Most of the time yourgoing to need air or a sawzal due to rust dirt and corrosion...
