"it's coming" has been the default response for a while unfortunately. Obviously not their fault but damn let's go! Ready for their springs too.

I'm still waiting, confirmed still in their queue, after placing the order on Apr 4, 2021...
Anyone received the exhaust in recent days, and how long since you placed the order? I guess it's pointless question, but still ... |

Hello,
Anyone that has this axle back exhaust installed, quick question: On the day of the installation and perhaps lasts few more days (???), after engine shut off, did you notice exhaust white smoke coming out for ~30 secs or so from the inside two tips (inside tips are the one that attach directly to muffler, no flaps on them)? Talking to Dinan tech support, this would be expected (???) during few days of break-in period. Thanks. |

Some additional smoke emission for the initial couple days after install is expected. What it is is the internal bags/packing being burned off inside the muffler. You would have also noticed those first couple days smelled a bit different (like burnt plastic). You can speed up this process by just getting the exhaust system very hot (spirited driving) for a bit but even if you don't and just drive normally the bags will usually be fully burnt off in a few days. |

Yep, smoke gone. Smell is going away. Now just waiting on the black tips to ship to me to swap with the polished ones. Thanks. |

Dinan_Engineering I recently purchased a 2020 X3MC that already had a Dinan exhaust installed, but it rattles really bad. it will even rattle on sports + and valve setting open.
i really love the sound and look, really don't want to get rid of it. I called and spoke to someone who told me there is a repair kit, but that he couldn't tell me when those would be available to sell, as he could not send me one through warranty since i did not purchase the exhaust originally. i believe that's a yucky way of going about this. i get it i wasn't the original buyer, but that shouldn't limit me from buying a repair kit. Please help me out. i understand the whole world is going through a part shortage, but there's gotta be 1 kit that can be sold to me. thanks in advance.

For the rattling, you need to bend the heat shield back on the passenger side near the exhaust tips. I had bad rattling at first until that was done. It's in the Dinan instructions to do so, but it's easily skipped.

Much delayed, sorry had an out of state move so things have been hectic last couple of weeks.
But here is a cold start video with the Dinan axleback and RG Sport midpipe: Once the cold start settles around the 35 second mark, it sounds REALLY good.

Stock sizes, but they're Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Also with only ~1K miles on them so they're basically new.

Currently running a base muffler with the Dinan midpipe. Contemplating changing to the comp one or Dinan. Thoughts on which route to go? I've watched the videos but it's hard to really appreciate the differences. Thanks

All that said I am really happy with the Dinan. Definitely gives it an aggressive sound.
