It will increase smoke a bit.

It will increase smoke a bit.

Yes what he said, it will go up a little bit but nothing too drastic or noticable. If done properly by using the stock DPF housing it won't fail MOT. If you cut the DPF out and weld a straight pipe there then yes it will visually fail the MOT as the DPF looks like it has been tampered with.

On some cars the dpf isn't even visable particularly the ones that are cat first and dpf second , and a 5ft engine tray.

The MOT test regarding DPFs has got a lot tighter since 2018, they have made MOT testers aware that ppl are re-welding the cans;

Do you know how many DPF deleted cars there are out there? That many that the government decided to scrap and penalise diesels because they realised this DPF idea was a failure. The new popular one now is adblue delete.
