The 'smart' way to overcome this issue is to completely remove the DPF have it cut open on the factory weld internals removed then re weld directly on the factory seam then re install. Therefore when viewed the OEM DPF visually is in place. If the tester sees the DPF in situ doesn't see any tampering to the side of the canister (we've seen them crudely opened up from the side and poorly welded thst are bloody obvious) then from a viewing perspective whst can they say! Diesels are tested for smoke so if this is 'controlled' and the DPF looks factory in appearence then there you go I guess.
