my E70 X5 diesel -DPF/SCR/EGR/DEF Delete (with video)

Can you tell us how you performed this, looks like its in your garage. Did you use jack stands or a lift? How hard was it to remove the DPF and such?
I DIY would be great but i know that will be a lot of work so i wont ask for that :p

This is something i will be doing in the future.

I'll be the first to say, this wasn't the most fun I've had. I did it in my garage, but was swearing most of the time :P

It's not an easy task to do. You'll need to lower your subframe to remove your DPF. In order to lower your subframe, you'll need an engine hoist and also remove the passenger motor mount. (There is 1 bolt thats an absolute pain to remove)

It was too tight to take pictures, or I normally do DIY vids on these sort of things. If I had a hoist, it would take me less time. Having done one now, I could save some time doing another one. I'll say this tho, it took a lot longer than I thought it would. Fighting with the DPF once it was loose and ready to come out wasn't fun. Once i got everything out, putting the new pipe back in was simple.
