NEW RELEASE: Dinan F97 X3M / F98 X4M Resonator Delete Kit / X-Pipe
![]() Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Dinan F97 X3M / F98 X4M Resonator Delete Kit / X-Pipe Part Number: D660-0087 Applications:
Product Page(s) / Pricing: dinan.info/F97-F98-RDK Release Date: Available Now! Description: The Dinan Resonator Delete Kit for the F97 X3M and F98 X4M introduces a more aggressive tone and an increase in volume over the stock system. Coupled with the associated Dinan exhaust, the sound is further enhanced into a smoother, fuller and more aggressive note that is befitting of the performance SAV. The offering removes the hydro-formed factory resonated section and replaces it with 70mm T304 stainless steel tubing for freer flowing capabilities. In place of the factory resonator itself, Dinan incorporates a beautifully crafted X-pipe made from mandrel-bent tubing for minimum restriction, unlike stamped X-pipes, which are commonplace in the market. This sophisticated 'X' is not only the focal point of the system in terms of aesthetics but also the star when it comes to the effects on the sound. Promoting even flow to both banks of tips, the 'X' removes unwanted nuances in sound caused by uneven exhaust flow that is often present with stock systems. Features/Benefits:

I've been waiting for a reasonably priced X-pipe to be constructed. Don't get me wrong, I like the deep sound of a nice smooth H-pipe. But in the upper RPM range the X-pipe has a much smoother & more refined warm sound.

So this is a 100% bolt on replacement? No cutting or welding just new brackets.. Correct?

I'm assuming the video (which was very well done and sounded amazing) was all in Sport/Sport+ mode? I had an unresonated midpipe and Dinan axleback on my M4 which was incredible, and in Sport/Sport+ it sounded like that.
But it was barely louder than stock in comfort mode. Is that true for this setup? Assuming it's all Dinan: Dinan X-pipe for resonator delete, and Dinan axleback/muffler. I like that I can make it loud when I want to, but having a really subdued volume / aggressiveness for comfort was key for me. I don't want loud all the time.

Or maybe the pun was intended? Or at least should've been.

I sure wish Dinan would offer this for the X6M50i. We can't even get them to look at our vehicles unless you want to buy their gas and break peddle set. LOL

It's all about ROI -- if we thought we could gaurantee going through 50 or so every 60 days to make the minimum order quantities of raw material in addition to other capital investments worthwhile then it would be in the queue for future development. As is, we haven't seen many requests/demand for even a tune, let alone hard parts for the platform.

X3M is an enthusiast car to begin with (even if it is an SUV) so demand on it is pretty strong out of the gate, not M2/M3/M4 levels, but pretty good. Volume is also a consideration -- X3's are plentiful.

None that my ears can perceive anywhere but sensitivity to drone varies per person quite a bit. That said, the most sensitive individual to drone in the office never complained or noted anything so I feel pretty confident in saying there isn't one.
