2021 M550i Dinan X-Pipe
Getting talked into doing a Dinan X-pipe install instead of a resonator cut out and straight pipe welded in.
Any insight on where to get the best pricing on this? I'll do my research, just hoping someone might know a good place to go for pricing. |

I believe “GetBMWParts” is the cheapest, but you have to email them and ask for a quote, as their lowest is not advertised. Also, keep in mind production is delayed until about March it sounds like.

I'm holding out for a full Remus cat back system myself, just waiting for a bit to honestly savor the process and not rush into it. I've gotten bored being 'done' with all my mods and now I'm staring down an expensive exhaust. I can't imagine how bad I'm screwed when I get bored after the exhaust hahaha I think though that with your mid pipe install it'll be easy to add the Dinan back box, or any of the other exhaust companies that do back boxes if you decide you want more noise later on. From my research ACS and Eisenmann are only back boxes (based on pictures online from retailers) but Dinan and Remus also make that back "axle back" section too. |

Part of me wants to spend $400 to cut the resonators out.
Part of me wants to go Dinan as well. Something about a Midas muffler cutting up my $90K cars exhaust just doesn't seem right. Something about spending $1,200 on tubing also doesn't sound right.

It's a huge difference in pricing for what I believe will be a similar result. My BMW CA's 2020 m550i with resonator delete has convinced me of this. I think the win here might be to find the right shop who knows what they're doing and will take care of your car vs a. Midas type place. |

Res delete is worth considering. I decided to get it done by a local performance shop and they did an amazing job. Top quality and a lot cheaper than something like Dinan. I know someone getting the full Remus as well so I'm keen to hear how they sound next to each other at some point.

I'm waiting a bit, probably thinking I'll do mine in March/April depending on parts availability and covid. So, definitely eagerly 'subscribing' hahaha How do you like the sound of the res delete from a good performance shop? (And what area are you in, if you're nearby I'd love to use that same shop for whatever exhaust work I do. Don't have a good shop already near me) |

I believe the Dinan midpipe has 3" vs our 2.75" oem midpipe. You could still get an entire 3" midpipe custom made for much cheaper than dinan's midpipe tho if you wanted to spend a bit more than $300 for resonator delete.

Dinan Axle Back System
Hello All
My first post as a new member. During this past summer, I ordered the axle back muffler system via a local service garage with a Dinan background. Long story short. Waited nearly 5 months & Dinan never made the system available re "back logged". Has anyone experienced a similar situation with Dinan. |

My only complaint, and this is very minor, is that the res delete has made the overrun pops and bangs very loud and seemingly more frequent. If you like them, you would love this mod but I find them a little annoying at times. All in all I think this is a great bang for buck mod. Unfortunately I don't think we will be anywhere near each other as I'm in Australia The guy getting the Remus is also interstate from me about 10 hours drive away so it might be a while before we get a chance to get them side by side, if at all. We would both love to hear the difference though so we might make it happen. Be interesting to see if spending 8x more is worth it |

To be honest I like the sound of the exhaust in Sport/Sport Plus but if I am just relaxing or talking etc -- I don't want the extra noise (the light drone). Does the res delete change anything about the sound during comfort driving from your perspective? |

I was also concerned about the level of the exhaust volume in comfort mode by deleting the resonators with a x-pipe. However except for start up, the exhaust sound in comfort mode was practically the same as before the delete.

I don't have a video and tbh I don't think it will really help much. The only way you are going to know for sure is hearing one in person. I was also worried about it but decided to take a chance as it's easily reversible. I haven't looked back since. |
