exhaust systems for different years

waltzconmigo said:

lightflyer---i am not reading this as the OP wants to do a delete but would prefer the least complicated system from the get-go.

828---the DPF system was changed starting in 2010, where they unmated the DPF and Cat, which significantly reduced the cost of replacement if you have problems with one or the other. of course lightflyer is correct the non common-rail engines found in the MY 2006 and back would fit this qualification the best. if you decide to go with one of these older cars i would recommend that you read up on some of the difficulties the automatic transmissions have or make it easy on yourself and just get an extra pedal to play with from the beginning.

good luck,

Once again, now that you have stated exhaust delete, how do you plan on getting through the California state vehicle inspection? It will never pass, warranty will probably be void as well. I wish you were buying a Passat so I could buy your exhaust when you are done.

To the OP, you're new here - welcome - but here are the ground rules FYI: You are free to "avoid" buying any model car whose emission system package you don't like, but this TDI Emissions forum is dedicated to discussing real issues of MINIMIZING emissions of TDIs.

Regardless of what other moderators and forums have decided regarding policing emissions-delete posts, ILLEGALLY REMOVING emission control devices is still not OK and as long as I'm the moderator this forum, this forum will REMAIN NOT a venue to discuss, encourage or indulge in defeating emission control devices neither in any car nor irrespective of whether your jurisdiction performs emissions inspections or not. Offending posts that are reported in will be dealt with swiftly.

Don't like my way? Tell it to Fred.

We feel that it is in the community's best interest to permit these discussions. It is important (and therefore required), however, that these types of discussions clearly state that:

• Neither TDIClub nor any person taking action or inaction on its behalf, other than the content poster, will be held accountable for the content in said messages
• It is up to each individual vehicle owner or operator to take responsibility for his/her actions

The above points must be made abuntantly clear in each thread discussing emissions systems. This also applies to vendors who may entertain discussion of modification or part for modifications. Such vendors must additionally provide a disclaimer in those threads clearly outlining the ramifications for modifying federal emissions components.

Any content deemed to be in violation of the above may be removed from public view immediately and without warning, and infractions may be applied to the user who posted the content. Continued infractions may result in a restriction of posting privileges.
