Why Diesel Particulate Filter DPF Delete on the VDJ79 4.5L V8 Toyota Land Cruiser?

There are a number of reasons why people choose to delete the DPF from the VDJ79 Land Cruiser - here are a few in our view

1. The large restrictive Diesel Particulate Filter reduces exhaust gas flow resulting in the V8 engine working harder.

2. By removing the Diesel Particulate Filter the 4.5L V8 engine essentially gets more oxygen to breathe as it doesn't have the large filter to combat when emitting the exhaust gas.

3. The filter chokes the natural sound of the big V8 engine. By removing the filter and allowing the free flow of exhaust gas the VDJ79 again sounds like a true V8 with that classic, deep rumble.

4. DPF's need to be maintained on a vehicle. They are not a fit and forget item but a service item, so they need to be regularly checked, cleaned and replaced over time. This hassle of maintenance can be overcome by removing and replacing with a delete pipe and remapping the ECU.

5. Save big on diesel fuel! By removing the DPF and enabling the engine to run more effortlessly, you are saving on fuel. If you are in the outback clocking up the miles/km's then you start to really notice the savings.

There is also a good deal of people asking asbout installation of a dummy Diesel Particulate Filter instead of an actual 3" or 4" DPF Delete Pipe that is specially suited for a performance upgrade. 
Dummy Delete DPF's on the 70 Series Landcruisers are generally stilll quite restrictive as they are made with the same mould as the original replacement DPFs - we know as we make the VDJ79 OEM replacement Diesel Particulate Units! 

Furthermore there is a misconception that by installing a Dummy DPF on the 79 Series will illiminate the chances of getting defected. This is not the case as inspectors are now conducting emission testing rather than just a visual check of the Filter itself.
