I wanna get a delete pine for mine as dont like the look of a hollowed out dpf. The cheapest i can find one for is £150 so dont really think its worth the money for just a pipe
It is worth it they are usually stainless steel hence £150 price tag, you will never have to replace it. seeing the pics you posted I would be very worried about the quality of the work done, I would look out for diesel in the exhaust (you mentioned this in a post on fule consumbtion) as there is a diesel burner built into the FAP (probably damaged when he hollowed out the fap) and if they did not remove and cap the fuel line to it then there will be diesel leaking into the exhaust, this can collect in the fap shell and in the right conditions (ragging it down the motorway at high speeds ) the diesel build-up can ignite (not good), if they cut corners on the fap physical removal did they do a good job of the ecu or did they just disable the error strings related to the fap, this leaves the system constantly trying to re generate burning fuel for no reason. you should really get this checked, if not done correctly it can damage the engine. I paid a total of £450 for the fap delete and tune up money well spent but I hung over the tech's shoulder to make sure he did the software delete properly, he was quite happy to explain what he was doing and he also told me about some of the bodge jobs he has corrected. if it seems to cheap it is to cheap you should expect to pay around £500 for a good job.

I want SPEED and economy but you can’t have them both so I pick SPEED
