Is it worth getting a DPF back exhaust?

Absolutely, as long as you are not expecting a big power boost. Since the DPF itself is a major restriction point in the exhaust system, and the factory system forward of the DPF needs to remain in place, you will not get the power increase you would expect from a full turbo back system.

Whats the difference between DPF back and turbo back?

The dpf-back system provides stronger exhaust flow and reduces excess backpressure. The overall benefit of upgrading to a dpf-back exhaust provides a stronger growl when accelerating but more importantly, reduces nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide emissions. Turbo-Back: Replaces the full exhaust system.

Is DPF back exhaust legal?

Is a DPF delete legal? We had a yarn with the NSW Environmental Protection Agency, and they confirmed it is absolutely illegal (because you’re screwing with the pollution gear on a vehicle), and the accompanying on-the-spot fine for driving a vehicle with a DPF delete is $300.

Is removing DPF filter illegal?

While it’s not illegal to remove a car’s DPF, it is illegal to drive without it if one should be fitted. Removing the filter doesn’t affect the car’s performance, and some motorists even state they achieve better fuel economy and engine performance without one.

Why don t diesels have dual exhaust?

Since a diesel truck uses a turbocharger that gathers exhaust from every cylinder, a dual-exit exhaust will still come through a single pipe off the turbo, and most split to the dual tailpipe after exiting the muffler, so there will be no performance gains in going duals over single.

Can a blocked DPF cause a turbocharger failure?

A blocked DPF prevents exhaust gas passing through the exhaust system at the required rate. As a result back pressure and exhaust gas temperatures increase within the turbine housing.

Can a diesel particulate filter cause turbo failure?

Here we explore what effect a blocked DPF can have on a turbocharger. DPF’s (Diesel Particulate Filters) were first introduced in January 2005 with the Euro 4 emission standard, where diesel particulate levels were reduced to extremely low levels to reduce the allowable amount of particulate matter (PM) released into the atmosphere.

How does back pressure affect a turbocharger?

As a result back pressure and exhaust gas temperatures increase within the turbine housing. Increased exhaust gas temperature and back pressure can affect the turbocharger in a number of ways, including problems with efficiencies, oil leaks, carbonisation of oil within the turbo and exhaust gas leaks from the turbo.

What should I do if my DPF is blocked?

If the DPF is blocked, always replace the turbocharger core assembly to prevent possible oil leaks. Check the actuator achieves its full range of movement, particularly if electronic, as internal components could be worn. One final consideration, it takes time for a DPF to block, sometimes years.

A blocked DPF prevents exhaust gas passing through the exhaust system at the required rate. As a result back pressure and exhaust gas temperatures increase within the turbine housing.

Can a cat back exhaust be replaced with a turbo back exhaust?

Many people choose to switch out their factory exhaust with turbo back exhausts because they are more powerful than a cat back exhaust system. At PPD Performance, you can replace your entire factory exhaust system from the turbo back to the tailpipes with one of our turbo back exhausts.

What kind of exhaust does PPD performance use?

Our PPD Performance turbo back exhausts are made from 304 grade stainless steel and are built using mandrel bends. Our turbo back exhausts are also up to three times cheaper than similar systems. We’ve designed our exhausts to follow the same layout and orientation as the factory exhaust, meaning they will bolt on easily.
