Just be smart about DPF Removal!

Don't use those fancy shiney pipes, Gut the insides of your own & weld up!

Simples!

Problem with doing that is that the box and pipes are still very restrictive. Not ideal for tuning.

My thoughts exactly Rich. They are not just fancy shiny pipes. They actually serve a purpose.



This is a standard DPF against the Darkside Developments pipe. On the standard one, where it comes out the DPF the pipe is flattened like a pancake. Extremely restrictive.
