Awesome project, looking to upgrade my A4 2.0TDi B7, and eventually buy an A5 3.0 tdi. Very inspiring! Do you guys have a tuning kit for the 2.0l tdi A4?
Hi, I`m after a bit of advise on an exhaust problem and a bit lost and i see that you guys know your exhaust mods so i`m kinda hoping i could get some pro tip. I have a 2013 Audi A5 8T3 3.0 TDI which has the RS kit on and the rear has the diffuser with the oval fake tips (which i removed at the mo) as i need to grind down my pipe ends so it does not knock on the fake tips. I have the possiblity of a pair of original RS5 back boxes (they are cut at the service point) from a RS5 F5 module which have the oval tips already attached. The question is am i able to fit them on my car and would they sit inside the diffuser holes without knocking on the edge of the holes? Thank you in advance for any info you could provide as it would really help me out. Cheers Mark
@@DarksideDevelopments the reason i ask is that the actual box is pretty much the same but the rs uses twin exit ports off the box where as my a5 only uses one exit and the other is blanked off. If that helps? Once i`ve done the external i do wanna map the engine and would also like to know if the gearbox can be mapped or something to tighten up the change of gears etc. Cheers anyway you guys do awesome work on the cars you have in!!
If you drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we might be able to take a look into it and help out with remaps etc Thanks for the support!
Unfortunately we cannot give advise on this. It is the customers responsibility to ensure they comply with rules and laws relating to their home country.
Once the DPF has been gutted and EGR blanked, does the car need remapping to prevent smoke? Or can they essentially just be ‘switch off’ in the ECU without a full remap?
@@DarksideDevelopments if I fit the pipe is it essential I delete the dpf off the ecu? Will the car go into limp mode or any fault codes? Just had a remap on the car and would like to avoid paying £350 again just to turn dpf off
Did you end up doing a DSG Tune? Are you retuning after the exhaust? Will you upload a performance/dyno video with the DSG tune and exhaust tune? Thanks.
DSG Tune is not done yet. We are seeing how we get on without it first, since not all customers will have it. There is not really any need to retune after the exhaust. Dyno soon...
Drop us an email with your Reg / VIN and we can advise on the exact parts. Exhaust, DPF, Labour and software is less than £2k. The bushes etc Labour depends on how hard the old stuff is to get out! But we can price it all!
Why is there no smoke after DPF removal? Was also thinking of a custom exhaust, but honestly, I wouldn't like smoke comming out like I've seen on most DPF removals.

Great work guys, really love that sound after removing the restrictions 👍. Just hope the London mayor doesn't set up this stupid emissions charge otherwise it would be hard to get this diesel
3.0TDI on those early A5’s is CAPA model and comes with a little bit better HPFP than the later A4’s with almost-the-same 3.0TDI, but still limiting it to somewhere +350 hp. So I assume that that is also on your to-be-updated list? Any plans to start selling bolt-on HPFP upgrade for 3.0TDIs? Just asking for a friend... 🙄
Ours is a CCWA so has a CP4. You are referring to the CP1 on the CAPA. They are still too small for our end goal. We have it on the list, don't worry :-) We already have the upgrades - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/search.php?search_query=cp3 Thanks!
Obviously DPF delete being something that will fail an MOT here in the UK, what is the best exhaust set up for a nice V6 TDI such as this that preserves the DPF? I imagine this is something you'd commonly do. Do you have any examples of a best case scenario? I'm looking to see what the best we can reasonably hope for would be while remaining on the road

Ahh man it sounds SOOoo good with the DPF out, too bad you can't keep it that way. Just personal opinion this one but when it eventually comes to the new exhaust tips, I find the looks of dual tips much more than the quad tips on S5. This first generation A5 Coupe was designed so well that I personally find there is no better look than everything OEM.

Now that is how a diesel V6 is supposed to sound. Nice jobs guys.
Instablaster...

Agreed. But there no match for a 335D.
Mr Green the 335d doesn’t sound as good as these v6 tdi’s imo

Yeah I've had a 335d e92 straight piped sounded awful but very quick. Lovely sound they have them 3.0 audis
Yeh v6 tdi sound awesome.
That is aslong as its not in a range rover
Sounds amazing, great job guys. Also no black clouds. But to the untrained ear, that could pass as a petrol engine.

Wow, no smoke with remap and exhaust. Great job guys! Any update on the 0-60 after exhaust?

The pipes should be OK as they are pretty decent on these, but if we can make an upgrade, we will!
Audi v6 diesel engine when exhaust moded really sounds like GTR
Would slapping a high flow DPF inline keep it passing the MOT whilst keeping flow and noise at a maximum then?
perfect work！！so what's the key point for no black smoke
Careful tuning will get you minimal to no smoke
That sounds so nice
Tha V6 sounds like fabulous with the dpf delete

Tune it right and the only thing you see it just slight haze on WOT (can it even be said WOT when talking about diesels...?) even without the DPF.

Very nicely done.

Coming soon
is there a aftermarket dpf lookalike with bigger diameters ?
We sell a 'race' universal DPF.

Do you need to remap audi system after removing the dpf or not?

Drop us an email with your VIN - sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk

Lmao i'd just expect tons of smoke when you deleted DPF. But nothing happened. (y) Nice one.

Amazinggg!! Can the same be done to a bmw 640d?
Yes
Damn!! Sounds a lot better than my BMW E46 330d.. Mine is 2001 so no DPF.
Oh man nice! Hx35 on it b a beast that v6 spool it up nicely too!!
Could do with custom exhaust on my 335d that sounded spot on.
Looks great and sounds awesome.. But, why would you first tune the car, and then do the exaust?
We are doing these vlogs to show different stages. A lot of customers still want remaps with the stock exhaust system in place.
An exhaust can expand so much it moves from metric to imperial :o

Love this project!
Impressive how clean its burning. Theoretically speaking could someone remove the DPF smash it out and reinstall so it looks legit ?
A lot of people do that!
@@DarksideDevelopments are there any disadvantages rather than a delete pipe ?
@@JRWILDY just less noise!
What would your advice be for MOT time with a system like this? Have seen lots of people cutting the dpf open gutting it and welding it back up
Unfortunately we cannot give advise on this. It is the customers responsibility to ensure they comply with rules and laws relating to their home country.
Would automatically fail with that system, but just gutting it should be alright as long as you get a decent map to go with it.
Sounds mint without the dpf!
That sounds great!
Cam something like this be achievable on an E90 320d M47 ?
Not as nice with straight 6!
Once the DPF has been gutted and EGR blanked, does the car need remapping to prevent smoke? Or can they essentially just be ‘switch off’ in the ECU without a full remap?
A remap is not needed just the software removal. Smoke should not be bad on the stock tune.
