My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Does anyone have or have used a Dinan exhaust and can give me some info on how the system sounds? I've heard many sound bites for B&B, Eisenmann and Remus and so far, I liked the sound and description of the Remus the most but would also like to get an idea of how the Dinan exhaust sounds.
TIA.
TIA.

Here is a wav file of an E39 with a Dinan exhaust that stream sent to me a while back. IMO, the 540 had the potential for a much better exhaust note than the E60, so a new V8 may not sound as well as the previous generation.

My Ride: '05 545i, silver gray, black leather with anthracite maple wood, sport package, premium sound, navigation, cold weather package, electric rear sunshade, folding rear seat, satellite radio prep, PIAA 4150K fogs, red rear reflectors, hardwired Valentine One
Here's the site that sound clip came from, which has a few other clips. I think the Dinan (at least on the 540 and 740 that I've heard clips of) sounds great--not too loud until you get on it, and then it has a scream to it--very Italian, if you know what I mean.

Wow, that sounded great. Thanks JDN. Curious why you would think the E60 won't make as good a sound?
I Think that the dinan - remus- kellerner - eisenmann are all about the same.
I think that the b&B - borla are about the same - sounds more like a muscle car

I've been loving the sound of the Remus and I was close to getting it....but a part of me is now tempted more and more to go with all Dinan. I am seriously considering dropping my car off for a day to get the intake, throttle body and exhaust installed and not tell my wife... I may just wait for them to come out with their software programming and do it all then.

I'm pretty sure if you swapped into a Dinan exhaust while also plugging in the Dinan airbox, you'd get the same throaty growl that a Borla provides.
This worked on the E46 M3 - nice deep Borla exhaust note without the added weight.
