hypothetically speaking....

I don’t own the 580 but. How long are your trips?
I agree it’s annoying.

last issue i had was on a 150klm trip towing a 10*6 700kg trailer. doing 100khr , and trust me @HaydEN, i drive it plenty hard. 4 wheel drifts can be fun in the wet i drive it up a 1.2klm, 100M altitude change hill daily, and most driving at 80khr and below, or long trips at 100.

does anyone have real life experience as to wether its worth having a DPF delete? my V6 is already tuned and EGR limited, but im having lots of regen failures. Will coring the DPF and adjusting the tune cause any issues ?

my car is a '21 Year 580 highline. Asking this hypothetical to understand if theres a large decrease in fuel used, and reliability (no oil dilution) ??

I have a '18 Aventura V6 that I've had DPF deleted and tuned with the Manta setup since 2020. I've had (as above, touch wood) zero problems, I'd say it's all good apart from giving it the jandal from standstill to redline. Then you can see a bit of smoke out the back - but nothing ott.
Km's are in the mid 40 thous so I don't do much travelling but when I need to tow, carry a couple 100kgs in the tub, or just drag someone off it's all smiles.
As far as I've seen, no more often fuel stops, no dash lights, no unreliability with the rig. Apart from the stone age infotainment system not responding to touch.
Also sounds a lot better all round and yes there is a minimal increase in smell on startup but in my opinion if you're purposely hanging around an operating tailpipe then maybe have a wee think. Hope this helps mate

Awesome. did you notice any change in fuel usage without DPF ? im still weighing up pros and cons. the car must know it though, havent had a single issue since i wrote the original post

To be honest, on average mostly no. It is a bit better on the fuel but nothing significant. I don't do many trips over the daily 20km commute to work so that's probably why. If you're doing quite a few long boys then you'd notice it and I'd expect in a good way.
Keen to know how you get on.
