Just wanted to know if any of you guys would have the opportunity to get a dinan exhaust for under $700 would you get it? Exhaust was never used.

I am sure you can find takers, especially for a good price. However, pics would be a great help as well as stating which model it's for (525/530I? 545/550i? M5? 528/535i?) Good luck with the sale

No my fault. I did not explain well. I have the chance to buy a dinan exhaust(545i) for ~$600, should I do it. Or could I get the same results for less buy just getting a shop to fabricate one. I really do not want it to load or any drone.

Is it used? If so, how used? i.e.: Is there any wear on it or discoloration or damage of any kind? How old is the exhaust? Does the exhaust come with all the original hardware, such as clamps and bolts?
Is it absolutely the correct unit for your vehicle?
Then, you should price check comparable new exhausts.

Why don't you guys read his question first before jumping in to questions like "is it used..."
He clearly says Exhaust was never used.

Even with the current special (20% off) they are about $959 pre tax + shipping. It all comes down to sound preference and performance gains.
For your consideration:
I dont see why you cant pull a eurorev and try to sell it and make some money to go towards an exhaust system of you choice, should you decide that the sounds of the dinan are not to your tastes.

Listen, if it's under $700, then this dinan is used, fake, or stolen! Maybe that ridiculously low price did not occur to you whether he said it was "used" or not.
