Aldersgrense A tillatt for alle.
This is my BMW E60 525d with a mighty M57d25 engine. that`s a straight six diesel 2.5 liter engine. In the previous episode I tried to remove the rear muffler, but no change in sound, so now I hope this will help!
Hope you enjoy the video till the end.

[@EliasSlds]

@@FahreFilms it keeps your engine much cleaner ,pulls more fresh air and you may get around 0-10hp more. No sound but healthier and better. As soon as I get my diesel dpf delete and agr delete :)

[@maxly501]

If you wanna have some sound while keeping the mufflers , downpipe is the way to go. But removing the DPF while keeping the stock mufflers does sure provide a deeper growly sound, it is noticeable but not obnoxiously loud. The turbo does wistle more too!

[@TheCraizyGamer]

If u want it louder , than you need custom downpipe . Or just make one .

[@FahreFilms]

Yeah true, I could make one myself. But I’m happy with the sound now so I don’t think I will use more time on the exhaust 🤷🏼‍♂️ Does the tone of the sound change? Or just volume?

[@TheCraizyGamer]

@@FahreFilms it sounds good , i have dpf delete on my 530d and sounds a bit louder with original muffler . But it sounds great .

[@FeZerret]

Removing the dpf or cat is really unnecessary. It makes almost no difference in performance, only makes the car noisier and the car just stinks real bad because of the nox, making it absolutly disgusting and dangerous to breath that stuff in because it can cause cancer. If you want performance get a good tune and thats it.

[@TheCraizyGamer]

@@FeZerret and so to get a better tune - You need a downpipe with no cat . So there is no differenc is the cat is empty or you have a downpipe 😆

[@husk1c]

[@ThaZapalka]

that's a catalytic converter, my friend. The dpf has tubes and sensors and what not for regenerating

[@GeorgeAusters]

It's not.. it's the DPF

[@ThaZapalka]

@@GeorgeAusters if that's a DPF how does it regenerate when it fills up with soot ???

[@Theswedesteed]

Not all cars use a dpf fluid, some add extra fuel so the exhaust gasses are hotter so it burns the carbon away ​@ThaZapalka

[@Theswedesteed]

This is also the secondary dpf, the downpipe has the first part of the dpf and the cat

[@ThaZapalka]

@@Theswedesteed Yes, and that added extra fuel ends up in the oil sump if the dpf regeneration is interrupted due to lack of proper conditions(like temperature). When that's the case there should be an additional marking on the oil dipstick to tell you to change the oil because it's diluted with diesel fuel. With that said I haven't seen the dipstick of an M57 post 2005(when DPFs get obligatory equipment for all diesel engine cars) so I'm still not convinced this is a secondary DPF 😂 + it's so far away from the turbo I can't imagine it maintaining the needed temperate for burning the soot...

[@_alar_]

At least on e39 petrol models, that plate is meant to help support the exhaust so it wouldn't sag that much

[@FahreFilms]

You sure? Letting the exhaust rest on that plate creates alot of vibrations in the car so I don’t think that’s the idea 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@_alar_]

@@FahreFilms on e39 there is some sort of rubber pushing of some sortbetween exhaust and that plate, that helps reduce vibration

What you removed was the catalytic converter and you could have sold the ceramic bits inside it. The dpf is located in the upper first part of the exhaust system.

[@mohamedeldin2744]

thank you for your nice video, but I am wondering that after you remove the DPF you did have any soot particule like BLACK fog during you drive the car, so what is the benefit to sell this thing in the market? which kind of diesel do you TANK MAN!!! ?

[@Luton-Mick]

That's a main or secondary cat, no sensors and fuel supply going to it to ignite and burn off the soot.

[@littlepro2543]

Good vid but without a DPF you will most likely fail the technical inspection. In some countries you can still pass if they don’t see that it’s empety but in a few years there will be machines that will be able to tell. And you have to program the car othervise it will go into service mode

[@thatblue-e92]

[@FahreFilms]

Thanks, I don’t think there will be any issue with M.O.T. Still have the catalytic converter in the downpipe and this 2004 model cars does not have super stricts rules on emmissions. Know plenty of people who have passed M.O.T with no DPF on a BMW diesel 👍🏼

Seriously, if u really want to make your car louder, just buy the Back box delete exhaust and that's it..

Straight pipe with 3in minimum from turbo to end.. and pop corn rev meter tune

[@christyrajie]

@apteka I am not sure why people would laugh, I am a diesel head (Rolling Coal person) and I have seen TDI builds that have pushed 300+ bhp in a 2.0 TDI as well as a many other builds... A petrol and a diesel engine are different but it's a different feeling, as you have seen/noticed all he has left to do is change the downpipe in the above build... And a remap to accompany the above mods would make the engine more efficient... Correct me if I am wrong on the input from your end.

[@christyrajie]

@apteka Usually all the pipes that come on a performance/potential performance vehicle or let's say any engine above 1l in both cases petrol or diesel vehicle are 2.5" approx and in some cases 3". I didn't ask him to change the huge dynamics of the pipe. Straight pipe diesel doesn't make loud noise rather it's a grunt noise, and in cases of petrol vehicles it's loud like ear screaming loud but not in the case of a diesel engine. Pops and Bangs are for petrol vehicles, and i suppose you might have mistaken my comment on the popcorn rev limiter for Pops and Bangs. Childish maybe, but once you remove or alter the exhaust of the vehicle it's always better to do a tune as it would help the engine better. And at that point all I suggested was to have a Popcorn limiter tune as the respected person was planning to increase his diesel engine exhaust sound. And I am saying it based on my experience with a 1.5 TDI engine that I had owned and had done a small turbo upgrade and a stage 3 setup. Diesel doesn't make loud noise as much as compared to any petrol engine.

[@V1K1NGofDOOM]

Får man ikke feil på EU kontroll uten dpf?

[@Benjamin-ko1fg]

Kan være jeg tar feil, men jeg tror den lille platen du fjernet bakover på bilen over eksosen er ment for å være en beskyttelse mot at mellomakslingen skal falle ned og slå i bakken mens du kjører hvis du skulle være uheldig og den løsner. På min tidligere E60 så kom ikke eksosen nær denne og den lagde ingen ulyder på min bil. Om den egentlig er så viktig vet jeg ikke da
