As before, I used a pressure washer and compressed air to clean it. It worked well.

Glad to know that you did this job.
Did you flush through the inlet and outlet, correct?
Did you used only straight water or leave it soaking with some kind of solvent/soap ?
This is what I am thinking to do also. This part is very expensive.
I read about people cutting the DPF in two pieces and then welding back after cleaning but I think this is too much work and requires a good welder to weld stainless steel.
Thanks for share your experience.
