2015 G350 catalytic converters

Good Day,

I am looking at having the catalytic converters on my 2015 G350 Bluetech removed.

Some questions and advice please:
1. How many are there?

2. What all needs to be removed? I have heard of DPF as well.
3. Is a remapping required?

Regards

I have had loss of power and its the last check point at this stage. Diesel in South Africa is not very clean and my service advisor believes them or it to be clogged up. He has seen this before.

In South Africa it is very common practice to have them removed in all kinds of cars as its not an emmisions requirement and believed less load on the engine giving it better longevity. Especially with our bad quality diesel.
