From my understanding from some here and dealer.. that the "new" filters are no longer a "filter":rolleyes: ...they have removed the internal filtering guts and now just "open"... so...what effect will this have on the system?? It was put there for a reason right?? I assume to catch any blow by from the DPF.....possible more contamination in intake/turbo?...so if no filter, what can we expect??..a little soot in the tail pipe,worse??...:eek: That is if this really is true??

It is now just a screen. If the DPF is working correctly there won’t be any soot there.
