Let the tinkering get serious!!....

Flow through that pipe must be bad. Just look at the profile as it comes out of the DPF.

First thing i noticed too, Gavin.. That's shocking.

doesnt look pretty, but remember if its just exiting the dpf, its coming from a high pressure low velocity zone, so the effect is not as bad as you might think... what i mean is that having that bend right there is not as bad as having a an identical bend there with a straight pipe rather than a large cross section dpf infront of it.

still, its all a nasty piece of work if you ask me

The actual end shapes of the DPF cannister given the space available is actually excellent, and whilst the pipe is indeed squished and looks bad, they've made it wider so it probably has similar cross section. Still, it is in need of some tinkering no doubt. I'm on it......

On a side note I haven't hobbled my EGR as yet for I can't get the Lamda probe undone! It's a 21-22mm nut, and I've bought two suitable spanners, but the space in there to get some leverage is VERY limited.....hmmm...

Post pics.. One of us might have an idea..

Try 22mm crowfoot spanner.
Sometimes you have to modify (bend, cut) spanner for just one task.

Miro my spanners were bent and cut within minutes, c'mon it's me you're talking to!

Yeah, I forgot mate, sorry.

I replaced P/S hose on Ford Territory few months ago and despite I bent and grinded right shape from the old (still in good condition) Sidchrome spanner, I couldn't undo the nut at the end of the hose (at very limited space too). The phone call to Snap-on dealer and for $30 I got the 3/4crowfoot 3/8" dr. spanner which was chunky at the right places and nut gave up and came off quite easily.

sometimes it is quicker to just pull the whole pipe out and then work on it. I gave up trying to work on stuff in hard to reach places a while ago now, always seems faster in the long run (between going to fetch/borrow/buy "special" tools, thinking about how to do it and gaffing your knuckles) to just start pulling bits of the car off.

...ofcourse, thats just me.
