Dinan Exhaust getting installed today

AutoPG · 04-29-2015, 12:48 PM

Here is a quick look. I'll upload video when installed. Can't wait.

Awesome !!
Love the black tip options Dinan offers

3er · 04-29-2015, 02:21 PM

Sweet, keep us posted!

shortseller · 04-29-2015, 05:20 PM

Build quality looks quite substantial from what I see in your posted photo.

On a separate note, on my way home this evening running behind an SSII e92 M with what looked like stock exhaust, boy what a sweet sound those V8s had. Hopefully the Dinan FFE can help us forget!

AutoPG · 04-29-2015, 05:54 PM

Hello. Exhaust is installed. I'll try to get a video up in a bit. Overall I like the sound and love the looks of it. Exhaust is a little louder and has a lot better tone, less farty. No drone at all. Still miss the v8 sound though.

Wanted to say Thank you to Reeves in Tampa for the fast service and great install. If anyone is local ask for the guys in Motorsports.

Hell yeah! I'm interested to hear more about your thoughts. E.g., sound under light acceleration vs. stock, sound under full throttle vs. stock, etc.

Just put a Dinan on the E93 last week. They make a great piece, not overly loud but plenty of presence.

Eh e92s dont sound very good stock.... At least not the exhaust. I prefer my S55 at this point.

Dont take this the wrong way but if you miss the S65 so much couldnt you sell your F8x for enough to buy 3 of em?

Not at all, but I think you miss understand my post. I'm not debating V8 vs I6T, I'm talking exhaust note. Which I'll add is subjective.

Except for the sound, based on the numbers I've seen and what I have read my F80 is head and shoulders above the old E92 thus no reason to take a step backwards. Let me disclose here, I've never owned an M before, so take my comments as such but I have owned their I6s, both NA and twin turbo in non M versions.

My post has nothing to do with performance, only exhaust note, ie that the M V8 makes some pretty nice tone. Aftermarket performance companies are going after this note because many are not happy with the current. Maybe Dinan can fill out my request? If not then so be it.

Either way I stand by my initial comment, the M V8s had a great sound.

Would love to see a vid. Hopefully you have something other than the crappy phone mic. But all the other vids are from phones, so at least that's apples to apples

Why can't you just accept that the OP prefers the E92's V8 exhaust note over the F8x's?

It's his post and his opinion....no need to turn this into another 'E92 sucks, F8x rules' post.

They seem to have handled it well on their own, without your 2 cents

How quickly threads get derailed.

OP - Looking forward to your impressions!

And with your input, we're now at 4 cents...

OP, I would love to see a vid of your exhaust running!

Agree with you, it should have been 0 cents

Going by my dealer this morning to see/hear one they just installed on one of their cars. Very interested.

Edit: Only heard it stationary, but I liked what I heard. More aggressive without being obnoxiously loud. Tips are a nice size. Canister still visible, but I'd probably black it out.

Very much interested in hearing your impressions. Please share if you will. Thank you.

Awesome to know you are happy with the Dinan exhaust !
Nice deep tone without being overly loud and no drone !

JTO24 · 04-30-2015, 01:43 PM

Price isn't as bad as I thought; granted it's strictly a muffler-only section.

CanAutM3 · 04-30-2015, 01:48 PM

Note that the Dinan exhaust has an interesting quirk: only one pair of tips is operational at a time.

When the valves are closed, only the inboard tips are operational and with the valves open only outboard tips are operational.

That'll make it interesting to sample AFR on the dyno.
