X3M Dinan Exhaust (Non Competition) Review + Sound Clip Videos

ec_101 · 02-12-2021, 06:24 PM

Nice! I have Dinan axle back on my F90 and love it.

SM2 · 02-12-2021, 08:52 PM

The difference between base and competition is quite big. This does help quite a bit with sound.

SoCalRPM · 02-12-2021, 10:27 PM

Very nice improvement

HZX540e · 02-12-2021, 11:21 PM

I may be crazy, but the X5M 2020 is not an option to choose on Dinan Cars website.

Attached are some pictures of the exhaust before install as well as before and after clips.

The exhaust tips are easily my favorite part of the exhaust. The tips fit the car very well even if they look to be too big out of the box. Also it was great how you can adjust the tips to exactly how you want it to sit.

Overall, the Dinan exhaust was much needed for the car. In efficient mode hit added some much needed sound over stock and in sport in transformed the car to exactly what I wanted it to be like. It added burbles without needing to tune the car. If anyone is looking for an exhaust on their X3/4M, I would highly recommend this exhaust. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop them below!

Its never a nice sound clip when you record with the iPhone.

Gear for sound is a bit more dough.

At the moment it is not as we have not released anything for the F95/F96 platforms yet. A fair amount of stuff in the pipeline though.

Sounds legit! I'm sure with no cats it would be on a whole new level but for a muffler only, huge improvement

Damn, s58 does sound just as bad as s55

Those tips are wonderful. I really like the sound too. Congrats and enjoy your gorgeous x3

robopp · 02-14-2021, 12:02 PM

Not a huge fan of how far they stick out. Sounds great though!

The tips are adjustable! I just wanted to be able to see the Dinan writing if I was standing behind it or in pictures.

Nice 💪💪

I just installed the Dinan Resonator Delete X pipe for the 2023X3M Competition. I do think that the sound is more aggressive. You can clearly hear it and feel the sound when you put it on open pipes and the M modes.

Looks nice, and definitely sounds better, but is it enough..?

Disagree with you on this. I think your mistaking it for the conversations surrounding the AA Equal Length.

With the Dinan X-Pipe the 2nd cats are still there. I have it installed right now and don't think there is any drone...will be replacing it with the AA EL next week
