Great video! I've got the same car and I'm planning on doing the same mods to mine and I'm sure to be referencing your vids. Please show us the end results and sound when you have time! Thanks.

[@markb6s4]

Editing that video as we speak. Been busy with other stuff I haven't had the time to start editing the video. It'll be posted hopefully by next week

[@svann471]

This is very Awesome video. Thanks for taking your time to walk through how it is being done. I would like to know what did you do with the Control line for pressure difference sensor? Do you leave them open or plug them up since the delete kit does not have that option? Thank you!

[@markb6s4]

Happy to hear this video is of help. I folded it back on it self and zipped tied it. Kind of like with a water hose when it's flowing and you bend the hose to stop the flow. That's exactly what I did and held on by zip ties

[@MrJohnv8386]

Yes nobody has videos on our q7s so glad to see this exhaust install and I just watched your tune video do you have a driving video showing the upgrades installed?

[@markb6s4]

I do! Almost finishing with the editing. And when I get back home next week hopefully up load it

[@MrJohnv8386]

Sweet cant wait to watch!!

[@rlangham30705]

Awesome video

[@markb6s4]

thank you! hope it was helpful

[@bonjoeyt3]

Been waiting for someone to post diy on these. Will you post the part # for the delete kit?

[@markb6s4]

The company that makes the delete kit is called raw tech. Here is the link to the delete kit. I got mine used, I searched forums or FB groups to search if anyone is selling them if you don't want to pay full price for new www.rawtekinc.com/collections/touareg-q7-tdi-2013-2016

[@jackmatsedi4376]

hi. Do u have a video of how to remove DPF on a q7 2015 second generation. The DPF seems to be closer to the engine and not at the bottom of the vehicle. Please help.

[@markb6s4]

Yes, it's part II. It's the next video after this in my page

[@HH-ls3te]

Does this gonna work with the Porsche and diesel it's the same engine 3.0 TDI

[@markb6s4]

Yes it should. But to make sure. Email rawteck to ask them if it is 100% the same as the Q7

[@koda101ninja]

So you didn’t have to remove the transmission cross member like rawtek suggest?

[@markb6s4]

Correct. I didn't remove it. You'll have to wiggle the DPF a little to get it out. And then if you are installing the delete kit you'll also have to wiggle it back in. I go into a little more detail on the install in part 2 where I install the delete kit

[@koda101ninja]

@@markb6s4 right on, installing this week. Thanks for the in depth vids on the subject

[@brianlauriemahar2389]

I also did not, on my 2013. I had to push the flex joint on the downpipe side up towards the top while getting the flange bolts free. After that, the flange tried to get hung up on heat shielding but I just compressed it back and everything wiggled out fine.

[@tyleryoung4419]

Did you have to remove the wheel well in order to get the last (difficult) dpf bolt?

[@markb6s4]

No wheel wells where removed. It was a combination of extensions and swivels to get to that difficult built to reach, from what I can remember

[@tyleryoung4419]

Great! Thanks!

Do you have a link where I can buy this DPF delete kit

[@markb6s4]

I updated the info on the description with links. Should have done that a long time ago.

What was done with the two pressure fittings going to the original DPF???

[@markb6s4]

i tied them out of the way with zip ties

[@JD-ui7rs]

why do alot of youtube videos not show the hardest part- like this video not showing removal of the downpipe? The catalyst is trapped between the firewall and some what looks like egr pipes on the back of the head. I can see in the video the corrugated pipe still installed but mine hust wont come out. Tried the bottom but the mount bracket is hitting the tranmission housing and cannot seem to rotate it away.

[@markb6s4]

I do apologize for not showing that part and only mentioning verbally how to remove it. After rewatching that portion I mention I took it from the "bottom" and this isn't clear to the audience. I meant to say from the "bottom to top". So the down pipe I removed from the top side. I got my words mixed up. For the two lines that go to the EGR they are screwed to the transmission or firewall (can't remember) I removed it's bracket to allow those lines to be moved out of the way. And then there was one sensor that I couldn't reach from the top or bottom. I disconnected it from the engine side and took it out once it was out of the car.

[@JD-ui7rs]

@@markb6s4 I ultimately removed it from the bottom. The two lines had to be loosened from the firewall and then it could come out the bottom. No way could I get it out the top. Not sure the difference in your experience but it was too tight between the egr cooler and firewall. Thanks for replying?

[@markb6s4]

​@@JD-ui7rs the reason why I didn't remove it from the bottom was bc I thought I wouldn't have enough clearance to remove it. Since I didn't use and floor jacks and just had the air ride at the heights setting

[@jordanpost2411]

How did you get the down pipe out the top?

[@markb6s4]

It required a lot of wiggling, but have to be patient with it.

[@philipschutter1626]

I am struggling with mine right now

[@jordanpost2411]

@@philipschutter1626 I ended up taking mine out the bottom it wasn't coming out the top

[@philipschutter1626]

@@jordanpost2411 Thanks. I dont exactly know how but I just did some wiggling the next day and it came out in like 5 minutes.
