On the fence no more :) Dinan exhaust on the way!

AquilaBMW · 03-07-2019, 03:56 PM

I had the great pleasure of consulting with Soooma about this exhaust system and what his goals were.

First let me say it was a delight to chat with a fellow true enthusiast and ultimate great guy.

As mentioned already in this thread, there are louder exhaust systems out there for the F90, however Soooma wanted something with some civility to it and more of a tuned sound. I believe this is what the DINAN system is able to provide. Is it louder than stock? Yes - No question about that. But it isn't the loudest bark in the doghouse.

Prior to discussing things with Soooma, I got to talk with the crew at DINAN, one such discussion was with Phil M who built the exhaust. We were able to chat about things like flow and how chamber size and design can affect sound - from quality to quantity. There was a good deal of time, effort, resources and a fair amount of trial and error to get to this stage.

This exhaust follows the DINAN tradition of providing sound quality while not necessarily providing immense sound quantity. This dates back to when Steve Dinan was creating the first exhaust systems for models like the E24, E34 and E39.

When Soooma and I chatted about this system, we covered various systems on the market. Having the loudest bark wasn't the main goal here. There were things like aesthetics to the eyes, sound "quality" and value. These are all pretty subjective choices. I've had Akra pipes on my motorbikes, but DINAN pipes on my cars

We all have our tastes and what we like.

The beauty of today's market is that there are choices for everyone out there. If you are looking for enhanced sound with more depth and a deeper tone - then the DINAN system could well be the one for you.

I really appreciate Soooma giving the system a shot. It's never easy being the "first" one to try something out. I am looking forward to additional feedback over time as the exhaust breaks in.

On behalf of DINAN, I too thank you for giving the brand another shot. I actually wasn't aware you'd had a bad experience before.

If anyone has any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know.

Oh.... and yeah, no matter what exhaust system you get, you'll probably have to roll down the windows to enjoy the sounds from the Driver's seat. Darn modern cars are so insulated! LOL!

Thanks again Soooma (Basim).

Yes its real (kind of). But lets be honest here as well - an exhaust, specifically an axle back exhaust for all intents and purposes is a sound only modification. Keep in mind that 8/6 gain is at the crank and also pretty much isolated at the top end of the RPM curve so its not really something terribly meaningful or noticeable under normal driving conditions. It makes a great bullet point for marketing though.

HahaHaha
For realZ
I don't think Remus has anything on this, but online videos don't do any Exhaust justice PERIOD! If it were only for Online videos, I would have never gotten Dinan's exhaust as their official video did a terrible job and injustice to how this exhaust really sounds!

Before I arrived to pick my car up from EuroMpire, in Monroe NC, the shop said it sounded amazing and he installs all types of exhaust and builds race cars from scratch!! Shout out to Matt @ EuroMpire!
