OK - I'm just going to shut up now.

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...



Cat...

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.
