If you send the DDE for flashing while the DP is installed it would be just a few days downtime. I reflash the DDE to the newest SW version before it is tuned, so not much to bother for later.
Some people try to fix different kind of engine management problems with a DPF delete, but this never worked good. It is important that all systems are intact and engine runs trouble free before a delete is done. Faults like active tank sensors, NO sensors, EGR actuator will be taken care of, but other problems with engine sensors or injectors have to be taken care of first.

CAT or no CAT?

There's no emissions testing here in MN, but TECHNICALLY, vehicles are required to have a CAT.

In order for me to actually do this, I don't want to be the obnoxious jerk driving down the street making a scene w/ my exhaust. CAT seems like it would help in that regard.

CAT will help with CO only. DPF is what takes care of the soot and SCR is what takes care of the NO and the smell. My X5 with ~400hp/550tq will make a slight haze under hard acceleration, nothing like a rolling coal. After a few days of very hard driving the hatch and the rear bumper will have a slight tint from the soot.

-On my 35D I installed the DPF delete (PITA), EGR delete (easy) and left everything intact. My active tank is full (keeps the sensors alive,maybe) and my passive tank is probably half full. I dont see downsides except a few lbs extra weight, unsubstantial for a 6k lbs monster.
I really dont see where one will spend $4k, even if careless. For the X5 the biggest problem is to find the downpipe (DPF delete), all else is available. We still have special on the Stage1 and 2 tunes for under a grand.
I actually have had laying around a DPF from my flooded parts car and just gutted it and installed it. Some guys are using a 1/2" super long drill bit to drill a few holes in the DPF.

Yes, the DDE's can be cloned, I have had it done, you can read all about it in the e90 forums. Ask BPC or FixMyVW for the service. I believe they charged my $80 for the service. I have one DDE with original programing and a second with a stage 2 JR tune. I can swap between DDE's at will and have done so. This way I can switch between stock and tuned configurations.

I purchased the 2nd DDE for my car from a wrecked X5 35d. The 335D/35D DDEs are interchangeable. I paid about $265 including shipping for the second DDE.

I stand corrected.

So with DPF/SCR/EGR delete kit and ECU tune is there any significant engine/exhaust noise increase as compared to stock?

Yes rafraf77, there is increase in turbo sound after removing the DPF filter since the filter acts like a muffler/resonator.

Sorry for the downtime with website. We have merged our Diesel and M performance tuning sections together now and you can find this kit on our website at www.missiontuning.com

For those asking about cloning the DDE (Engine computer). Yes we can clone one for you, that is done very easily and we wont charge you extra fee for that when you buy the kit. Just send in your original computer as well as the computer you want to use install the clone software on.

I've got an '11 X5D w/ just under 114K on it. This might be a "when I have an emissions problem, I dump the emissions system" kind of thing.

Is this still an available product and tune?

Yes this is still a product we carry. Just had a slight delay moving everything over to a new site.
