Fell Off The X... :)

This big heavy thing fell off the X5 yesterday. I think it's the DPF? Car seems to run much better though.

The CAT somehow fell off too. DEF stuff is still there but the computer is reprogrammed not to inject it. Maybe all that stuff will fall off too one day.

Did you feel any difference in the exhaust noise? and did you have to send the DDE to reflash?

It's slightly louder than stock but I have an M6 with all 4 CATS off and all mufflers removed running straight pipes so a little noise doesn't bother me. Yes, the computer gets sent in to have it reprogrammed.

I can already tell that there's a significant increase in MPG's just based on the computer read-out. The X feels 1000 pounds lighter just in how it reacts to any amount of throttle. THIS is what this engine was designed for, NOT be choked by a very restrictive medium immediately after the turbo. Currently have the stock muffler still on but am considering an aftermarket or no muffler. I'll start documenting everything including sound levels with different stages.

Of course this is intended for off-road use only.
