But FWIW, the give-away of the retro-fitted DPF is the two exhaust pipes directly aft of the DPF (about 300mm or so) would be joined by welding - the factory cat has no welds, only straight pipes directly to the slip-joints feeding the muffler inlets.

DPF...

@Clavurion and Wpoll sorry to bring this up, but is bugging me when i enter realoem and search for dpf i get reference to retrofit options as per image, so i take my e53 is EU3 and not EU4 correct?, has no dpf...? this allllll goes back to the oil thread and using the correct oil to keep the dpf clean so to speak...(that hopefully dont have)

Everything we have said before still applies. E53 3.0d was only manufactured as EU3 version for UK (RHD) market so yours must be without DPF.
