I think you will love the exhaust. Was part of my choices initially but was missing a little something for me personally so I went with something different. Can't wait to hear your thoughts and see some videos. |

Not my intent but preference is subjective. I could go on and on about why I like a particular exhaust and you might not even hear what I'm hearing. . Dinan was in my top 3. I'm sure you will be happy with it.
Post videos! |

Here you are guys, First Dinan Exhaust installed on the forum here , despite all detractors I would say it did deliver and some!
Videos to follow shortly Initial impression - It did change depth and character of NOISE way more than loudness - Slightly louder - More pops, burbles and crackles maybe 20-30% more and those are somewhat louder too - From the DUMB? cabin, forget it guys unless you take out the whole exhaust this thing won't let you enjoy your exhaust from the inside, it's a very tantalizing elusive target to chase - The Tips are drop dead gorgeous, in my opinion in the league of Akra tips and I didn't expect that!! They are a bit bigger too, and of course better than any other tips I have seen online for that matter, remember it matters because cosmetically that's all you see! - At WOT didn't feel much difference yet, and shop said it gets louder with time! Overall I hate to disappoint some wanna be gloaters here LOL and Remus, Eaisenmann and Akra fanboys I love this exhaust from Dinan very high quality and worth every penny, but if LOUDER you seek, this might not be for you! BTW I am not a big fan of Dinan and had bad experience before with Stage II, when it wasn't installed correctly and they apologized appropriately for it but I was very offended and upset then and wasn't easy to appease, and that's my first repurchase from them since! And it made me forgive them, Pictures of OEM Exhaust and tips are included after removal, And NO My Dinan exhaust will stay on the car and not for sale My 2 cents Again videos to follow! Does anybody know how to censor plates in videos? What app? Kudos go to AquilaBMW who sold me this unit when it was very hard to find, I trust him so much and straightforward type of guy! Thanks Mike! A huge shout out to you Mike because you were one of the main reasons I decided to go down that Dinan route again Thanks

Couple notes --- It does get louder over time after the bags are popped and all of that. Of course you can just drive it aggressively for a half hour or whatever and get to that part a bit faster. That said if you want a super aggressive/loud exhaust the Dinan solution probably isn't for you as it is still more about tone as you alluded to. Still want to keep it civilized--- just borderline civilized--- perhaps slightly over that line. To my ear its plenty loud but I am getting old. I appreciate tone and ride quality more and more as I advance in years. Tips. The 4" tips are massive and those same tips are utilized on the the M2C which makes them look even that much more massive on that smaller platform. I will forever be a thin wall tip preference like the old Dinan tips BUT I will say that the bolt on double walled ones are very nice and still maintain some of that old Dinan look with the straight cut and a long bevel to try and emulate a bit of the thin wall. Anyhoo -- welcome back to team Blue! |

Man you're cynical at its purest with a stoic twist
