I have an e70 x5 diesel - US (canadian) spec and decided to remove the DPF, DEF, EGR, SCR and replace it with a custom catted DPF Delete pipe and another pipe to remove the larger cat.

At the same time, I wanted to completely remove the EGR so I had some brackets fabricated and made a kit to bypass the coolant. I now don't have to worry about my EGR leaking

Anyways, here's a vid of the first startup.

This is what it sounded like with just the DPF delete pipe (with small cat)
This was my first startup.

Here is a vid of it all back together.

It isn't loud.. in fact, its much quieter than I thought it would be. The only difference is you hear the turbos in the exhaust.

Its about -15 when I took the 2nd video (this morning)
It doesn't really smoke.. The only smoke you'd see is the small amount you see at the 1:05 mark.


I live in Alberta, canada and we don't have emissions. If we did I'm sure it'll at least be a few years down the road and worst case scenario I part it out. Best case, we never get emissions. I'm not concerned.
