Catalytic Converter Removal and Delete in Johannesburg


Catalytic Converters (CAT) were designed to control vehicle emissions. Catalytic Converters will convert toxic pollutants to less toxic pollutants by catalysing a redox reaction. Unfortunately Catalytic Converters does not last indefinitely. These converters will eventually become blocked and this will normally cause decrease in power as well as an increase in fuel consumption. Replacing them can cost a fortune. Some Catalytic Converters can cost as much as R70000.00 to replace.

We can remove the Catalytic Converter at a fraction of the price. The removal of a CAT may increase power and decrease fuel consumption slightly. On some vehicles, when you remove the CAT physically, will eventually cause an engine malfunction and will cause the vehicle to go in safety mode or also known as limp mode. We can cure the mentioned problem on most vehicles, by removing the CAT function from the software of the engine control unit (ECU).  This means the ECU will no longer recognise the Catalytic Converter and the vehicle will no longer go in safety mode or limp mode.

DPF Removal vs DPF Delete...
What is the difference between a DPF Delete & DPF Remove?

DPF Remove is the part where the actual diesel particle filter is removed from the exhaust system.

DPF Delete is the part where the DPF function is deleted on the software of the vehicle’s engine control unit or ECU. So, in other words, the software is modified...

DPF Removal Cost...
What is a fair price to pay for a complete DPF removal solution?

As with most products or services, you will get too cheap and on the other side stupidly expensive.

Let’s start with too cheap, if you come across people here in South Africa offering DPF removal solutions for R1000...

EGR Removal & Price...
In most modern diesel engines, in order to remove or blank off the EGR, the software on the Engine Control Unit (ECU) needs to be modified to delete the EGR function, the related fault codes and limp mode / safe mode. We can delete the EGR function from the software on the ECU on most models starting from R999.00...

Mercedes BlueTEC Delete...
BlueTEC is Mercedes-Benz’s name for the SCR system that uses AdBlue. AdBlue (DEF) is injected into the exhaust after the engine to lower NOx. On a Mercedes it is controlled by its own AdBlue module as well as the engine ECU. The tank, pump, dosing injector, heater, quality sensor and NOx sensors all have to work together. If one part fails, the car warns you, limits remaining range, drops into limp mode, or, on later models, refuses to start...
