INSTALLATION
2.1 Filter Installation
It is necessary to install the DPF as close as possible to the exhaust manifold or turbocharger of the engine due
to the DPF's requirement for heat. In addition, the DPF should be mounted so that it is isolated from engine
vibration and external loads from the exhaust system.
There are several different installation configurations depending upon the application on which the DPF is being
installed, and the manner in which the DPF was packaged (custom vs standard). Listed below are the basic
different installation cases that may arise. For each installation, please determine which installation type best
describes the case at hand and follow the instructions accordingly.
2.2 Installation Type (a) – Direct Fit Muffler
If technically feasible, DCL offers custom packaging of the DPF designed to act as a direct replacement of the
original muffler. Please follow the instructions below to install the direct fit DPF muffler:
1) Remove original equipment muffler making sure to keep all installation components not attached to the
original muffler.
2) Install the direct fit DPF muffler in same manner as if installing the original muffler. Use all existing
support straps/materials to ensure a secure, stable mounted DPF muffler.
3) If the pipe/tubing system upstream of the DPF muffler is horizontal, install two ¼" NPT ports upstream
of the filter at the 12 o'clock position for installation of the backpressure monitor. If the pipe/tubing
upstream of the DPF muffler is vertical, port position is arbitrary.
