James P Posted 9December, 2018 Report Share Posted 9December, 2018 Im not a fan of removing them due to the health risks involved to humans.. they were installed for a reason all you have to do is maintain them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redracn Posted 9December, 2018 Report Share Posted 9December, 2018 DPF are good in cities for humans but a real PITA and even life threatening in remote locations. Even in cities you still need long drives to burn off the particulates to ash so a real PITA as well if not done. The ash will eventually fully block them requiring replacement. Also any problems with the injection that cause the engine to be a bit rich will stuff the DPF in short order. Just removing the DPF is not really an option as the ECU diagnostics will/should detect it is not there. You will need to reflash the ECU to disable a number of DPF functions or install a DPF simulator to fool the ECU. Porsche will also be fitting a Particulate Filter to its petrol sports cars. https://newsroom.porsche.com/default/en/company/porsche-sale-new-vehicles-europe-15574.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
