I thought DEF and DPF were both downstream. Eliminating EGR would be more in-line with your hopes.
Current DEF and DPF system's will not work without massive amount's of EGR so until the entire system is entirely downstream and independent of the engine mechanic's itself it is hard to call the current system downstream.
Earlier diesel emissions control, without DEF, used a lot more EGR than they do today.
It's rare to hear of a clogged EGR on a newer diesel with DEF and DPF. But on 10 year old systems, it's common.
There were early rumours that the 6.7 Cummins in the new RAM HD (2020?) would eliminate the EGR completely. But lately I've been reading that it will still be there.
