sounds like a cummins.....LOVE IT. now i know what to do with my 535d. thanks for the vid. can you send me where you purchased your exhaust from?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

It's an ATM downpipe, gutted SCR and muffler delete

[@cjgti_]

Sounds sick

[@davisweyant3908]

God dang! Let’s put some exhaust stacks on this thing now 🤠

[@yellowshopbuilds]

Hood exit? 😁

[@justtrynasurvive]

Downpipe definitely slightly better sound compared to hollow dpf more grumbly, whilst hollow dpf more "airy" noise

[@thepuberty9543]

I have a n57 with hollowed dpf it sounds trash

[@oxZanderxo]

Hello, thank you for the videos.I just installed mine and removed the dpf and egr from the system. It sounds anf runs like a dream,and the best part no smoke or very little at full throttle with 200.000 km on the clock. Do you still have the car? Did anything was affected? What should I watch out for?

[@Vinidocivic_]

which intake do you use? how did you do the installation? does noise matter?

[@edutechnic9621]

Thanks for showcasing both! That was a lot of effort. Sounds dope and can't wait to follow suite? How has the DUDMD tune been? I had his chip for my old E34 540i and it was wonderful.

[@yellowshopbuilds]

It's been great! I have his stage 2 on both my F10 and my wife's F15, no complaints!

[@edutechnic9621]

@@yellowshopbuilds Glad to hear it! I didn't see the stage 2 on his website...maybe that's for 'hitting potholes' only? I'll call him.

[@yellowshopbuilds]

They are not offering the stage 2 any longer. I think the whole EPA thing is getting everybody a little skittish

[@spaghetio4870]

Is the DPF completely empty or did you leave the DOC intact? Also how bad is the smell with the downpipe?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

Completely straight pipe. Smells just like a straight piped diesel would smell

[@IAMLEGEND9331]

Hey, When you installed the down pipe, what are the sensors did you keep from the dpf? I’m installing the same down pipe but wasn’t sure what sensor to keep. i have the 22mm O2 sensor but wasn’t sure about the which one of the 2 14mm sensors to install in the 2nd port. looks like one is a exhaust gas temperature sensor in the middle of the dpf and the other is a oxygen sensor located at the bottom. Thanks

[@ABJ-hy4mb]

Keep egt sensor

[@Fizzeetoast]

mine has a straight pipe apart from dpf.. when it does a regen it sounds really good.. is that what it would sound like all the time with the dpf gutted?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

Not sure

[@thepuberty9543]

No, i gutted mine it sounds more airy and like wind, under load and heavy throtle it sounds good but under normal driving its very bad, with a full 76-88mm echaust system and good quality donwpipe it sounds similar to dpf regen but still not as loud

[@alexanderkolev1929]

Nice sound man, what brand is the downpipe? Also can i ask what have you done to the exhaust because the sound is brutal!!

[@yellowshopbuilds]

The exhaust is just straight piped with the downpipe and muffler delete

[@alexanderkolev1929]

But what sizes are the pipes, and this is a single turbo 535d right?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

US spec 535d, single turbo. Exhaust is: Downpipe, factory exhaust (gutted scr), muffler delete

[@alexanderkolev1929]

Thanks

[@jimmymccain4580]

@@yellowshopbuilds what power does the US 535d have ? I take it it's just a 530d badges as 35d?

[@aibel99]

That smoke is too much. Anyone know if you can get rid of the whistle sound you get with diesels? I think its turbo spool but i hate that whistle noise.

[@yellowshopbuilds]

It wasn't all smoke. It was 30 degrees outside. Keep a muffler if you don't want the good noises 🤷

[@aibel99]

@yellowshopbuilds I see, so some vapour. I have seen some people who have been able to map the engine so well that smoke is barely noticeable. And yeah I like good noise, I just don't like the whistle sound. I like pure engine. I think a dpf delete with the other 2 cats intact would be good. Let's see. I'll post it on KZbin when I get it done .

[@jjthomas6926]

Hi, I too have the same problem of white smoke on cold start. do you know what it is due to? Thank you

[@yellowshopbuilds]

That smoke was condensation

[@Vinidocivic_]

if you keep all the original exhaust and cut only the last muffler does the noise change a lot? or does an error message appear?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

No error will appear if you remove the muffler. Not a big sound change

[@bugz6234]

If I delete just my dpf and egr but leave my exhaust standard will I have all the turbo noise still? I want to do this but ideally avoid any extra noise

[@thepuberty9543]

No you wont have any noise

[@norbertszollosi904]

Hello, i installed to my f10 530d a downpipe today, but the cars smoke became very smelly. Yours too ? Do you try the car without dpf, just catality converter ?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

If you delete the pieces that reduce smoke and smell, you will have smoke and smell..

[@michaeldengler1879]

Which Open Air Intake is this ? Looks Good

[@yellowshopbuilds]

Custom intake

[@chrisyfzr8532]

Can you make a video how you gut the SCR?

[@yellowshopbuilds]

I don't feel that it is video worthy, also not the most legal. Just remove it, cut it open, remove the guts and weld it shut

@@yellowshopbuilds smoke is wasted fuel my friend. I watched your video strolling around from a while back... there was excessive smoke. If this is what you are going for, and it seems to be working for the car, by all means, do your thing. That being said I suggest you look into JR Auto tunes, I can guarantee your vehicle will run cleaner at the very least.

[@yellowshopbuilds]

I get it, I've heard of JR and I've heard good things but I also like to support local and DUDMD is like 2.5 hrs from me. It only smokes a bit under cold start and very heavy throttle. I also get next to zero soot on my bumper. Does yours not smoke cold start? Straight pipe?

@@yellowshopbuilds Ive been running a full buzz ken straight pipe for over 4 years now, on two of my vehicles. one is over 330,000 miles, the other is over 200,000. Only time i get smoke is on startup the next day after ripping on the car.

[@tylerhamilton181]

Do you think it’s smarter to get a tune first then the parts after or would the parts need to be in to tune for them

You can tune first, I just wouldn't rip on the car until the parts are out

[@riceyrung7425]

My bad bro I j got my 2014 535d m sport n I j got hella questions. Did u actually buy a straight pipe or gut most the exhaust and called it straight pipe. If u do gut everything will you still need a tune

[@yellowshopbuilds]

Yes even if you got them you are still taking out all the good stuff and you will need a tune. I cut out the SCR and weld it in just a piece of matching size straight pipe and then I bought a downpipe to replace the DPF. I also deleted the muffler. So in the end it was complete straight pipe

If you install a down pipe. Are you required to do any sort of tune or delete of some sort? Will the check engine come on?
