E53 4.4i N62 Muffler Retrofit

[Clavurion]

I also did this mod on my facelift 3.0d. I removed DPF and installed middle muffler on it's place. Moved exhaust pressure and temp sensors from DPF and installed them on the muffler pipe.

Nice, wish we had the turbo diesel 6 here in Canada. Also interesting didn't know they had DPF system already back then.

It existed but only in some Euro markets - pretty rare in the rest of the world.

Looks like there were factory fitted options, which included DPF monitoring etc. (DDE 6.0 I suppose...along with swirl-flaps?) and an OE retro-fit kit, which didn't include any sensors, monitoring etc (used regular DDE 5.0).

Clavurion is the expert on these matters - he's the only XO member I know of that has one of these cars.
