I'm having those replaced, doing the swirl flap delete, dpf delete, JR Autotune loaded to it, etc. All will be done for off-road use only. Love the vehicle, but not what it costs to fix it. I'm doing the rest of the non-dealer tweaks/fixes in-house to save on money. It only has 111K on it, new tires, brakes, chain/tensioner, and some other stuff, so to me it makes sense to drive it... It routinely brings back about 29-32mpg/hwy, so I'd like to find out what it would get without all of the emission crap, but I won't be driving it on the hwy anytime soon. Strictly an off-roader now.

Update: About 2 months ago, I did the cooler seals, loaded a "MALONE" tune, deleted everything, added a Buzzken pipe, and couldn't be happier. Probably about 270hp, 480tq.
It's funny, most of the things I've read, the 2010 should have the purple seals. Mine didn't... it had the orange ones. Cleaned the intakes, swirl flaps are just disabled but in the open position. All of the egr nonsense has been blocked-off and subsequently, the parts recycled. Now it gets close to 34.5mpg on the hwy, mixed driving in the last 2k miles has returned about 28.9mpg. Glad I'm keeping it.
Now to find a coolant heater for it.
