link to dpf delete pipe on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/111076930194?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
are you also getting your sprinter reprogrammed so that ECU no longer looks for a DPF? I've heard of people not bothering to get reprogramming done and it works fine for a while, but eventually they get a check engine light.Yes, that was me who bought it.
They now will ship to Canada.
When it arrives, I will do a dpf delete, and will post an update back here to let you all know how the "fit" works out.
I'm in BC as well, where are you going for your tune?Yes, Suzieque, the plan includes a "tune" as part of the upgrade.
Good thing the Big O has not been around lately?suzieque, the tune will be custom spooling.
Spending the money, only to have to reengineer the product stinks.Briggies' delete pipe has arrived this morning. View attachment 52644
Clearly the threaded fittings are poor, quite substandard cobby welding done obviously with no protection over the threads when the welding (sic) was done.
I did a leak test with snoop. View attachment 52645
Here is the result... looking not so good. View attachment 52646
Don't you just hate it when you purchase something to save yourself some time, then have to repair the substandard workmanship?
Arrrgh!!!
[These welding repairs can be tricky, because of contamination (flux and paint)from the original welding attempt].
Hopefully Briggie didn't use a flux weld, or galvanized fittings.
I will keep you posted....
Fair enough, I guess he could charge a little more money and put more effort into fit and finish, but at this point he is the only option for an off the shelf mod, AFAIK?flman, I certainly don't want to offend anyone. I believe you that quite a few members are happy with Briggie' pipe.
And there is no doubt I could have just bolted it on, simply by fabricating a hangar bracket.
However, it just didn't sit right with me to have those leaks there. Would the leaks have caused future problems? I don't know.
As I said initially, I could have made a delete pipe up myself, just didn't want to spend the time to make dies etc... for a "one off" pipe.(re: post May 26)
I found Briggie's pipe to be the correct length and may function for some.
I certainly didn't expect "Mercedes" workmanship, but the pipe to me as shipped was not something I wanted to hang under my Sprinter.
