CTS Intake Install M550i
The install was pretty easy. I think I spent more time wondering why I had extra intake hose pieces than the install itself. There is no instruction manual but it’s pretty self explanatory.
I drove the car around for 30 mins to make sure I didn’t throw a code and the spooling is addicting. I’m not sure it benefits power but the sound alone is fun to have. |

that is the DINANTRONICS X tuner:https://www.dinancars.com/products/s...arts/D440-0160
That in combo with the intakes, this thing is a beast and gets you close to the M5 |

The Dinan adds about 40 to 50 ponies, check the link I posted, let's just say that other than the highway there is no place you can floor it. Which I am really not supposed to do due to the break-in period for the car which is 1200 miles and I only have about 800 on the car right now.

I’m also in the break-in period as well just passed 800 but I’ve only gone up the gears a few times. I’m all about a little spirited boosted break-in, just not maxing out rpm and and every gear. |

My two cents is to go with the Dinan tune, super easy to install because you already upgraded to the CTS intakes, you don't have to unbolt anything, the connectors are already accessible to you, I installed the Dinan after I installed the CTS intakes. The hardest part is zip-tying it. it is two connectors and done!

I used bimmerlink to open the exhaust flaps and then pulled to fuse so they are permanently open, I want to drive it for a bit and see how that setup is, but in the end I will probably get the Dinnan exhaust. I have the full Dinan exhaust on my 2019 M2 comp, and it sounds mean as hell! the M550 with the dinan mid pipe: The M2 comp on the track with a gopro suctioned cupped to the drive: |

I just pulled the trigger on the Dinan exhaust, the others such as Remus as an example are stupid expensive when you include a set of $800 tips?? F that, I just ordered the Dinan from summit racing and should get it in about 3 to 4 days. And I will call in the morning to get an appointment to get it installed. After having the Dinan exhaust turn my M2 Comp into a loud beast, I can't wait to hear how it sounds on a V-8. Depending on how aggressive it sounds in sport+. If it sounds badass I will use bimmerlink and open the flaps, then pull the fuse to keep them open all the time, I will post a video as soon as it is done. Should be next week.
