My welding is nothing special, I'm still very much a learnerWhen I grow up I want to weld like that!
It works amazingly well, really clean straight cuts, way better than I can manage by hand. The guide rail is off of banggood and I used the holder off a circle cutting guide to hold the torch. Next stage is to get an acme thread lead screw and fit a 12v motor and speed controller. Then I can do some test cuts and make note of the speeds that work best for particular material/thicknesses.You might be a learner but you made me smile with that. I’m suitably impressed
I'd make up a pipe and take the whole dpf off instead of knocking it out. Get good money for dpfs for scrapLovely work on the exhaust. I’d love for someone to do me one in Stainless for my 525D. I want to smash through the DPF and stick in a small resonator box to take off the edge.

Yeah they do have to be present for the test. Most of the ones I remove are for people looking for performance and noise. They sound better with a pipe instead of a hollowed out one.Don't they have to be present for the MOT, if they were fitted to the vehicle at manufacture?
I understand that's why some gut them and leave the empty 'shell'.

Yeah, the MOT is my concern, been told by my tester that if I were to do anything then try to make it look like it’s still present and working, hence gutting the cat.
I’ve no idea at all. My brothers on my case to get mine done. Haven’t got the balls just yet. Plus don’t need any more temptation for another yearApparently a well mapped e60 runs pretty clean.???

I like the idea of even more torque and also thinking of doing the egr and egr cooler delete and swirl flap removal. Apparently the chain isn’t a big deal on these M57 engines.
Someone on e60 forum reported 205bhp and 480nm of torque with no other mods.
