It appears that the issue with the Dinan exhaust is more significant than initially anticipated. Dinan has decided to halt sales of this exhaust model until they can thoroughly investigate and address the problems related to broken welds and rattling caused by faulty internal baffles.

If you currently have this exhaust installed, I strongly encourage you to check for any rattling. If you notice this issue, please contact Dinan immediately, as they need to determine the extent of the problem and how many units are affected.

Personally, I have experienced two defective units and am now awaiting a replacement that Dinan assures me has been fixed. I am also in discussions with them regarding compensation for the inconvenience and the fact that I have had to accept a “fixed” exhaust rather than waiting until April for their new models to be released.

For anyone considering purchasing this exhaust, I highly recommend holding off until these issues are fully resolved and the new models become available.
