Tom sold his 1,2,3 exhaust already, I think he's running with stock exhaust.
He did? What a pussy!

I think JB3 is giving Dinan a run for their money with their tunes. Granted, there's no warranty with JB3, but still...

Also, doesn't Tom have all 3 RPI exhaust sections now? Tom?
It is pretty much a known fact the Dinan tunes for the N54 are more conservative.

The JB3 on average gives 20+hp over the Dinan tune, on the dyno.

The Procede is even a little bit quicker than the JB3. Well, that is still being argued on other forums. The JB3 vs. Procede threads will never end.

If you want the quickest car, don't go with the Dinan tune.

Dinan reflashes dont' get error codes and limp modes like the JB3 and Procede chips.
Plus w/Dinan you won't have your warranty voided. I think w/Dinan it's not so much
the speed and hp, it's more peace of mind.

Nice vids, but I'd be careful with posting videos with visible license plates.

It be interesting to see the JB3 versus the Dinan from a roll and also a modified 535i versus a stock M5.

Haven't been following up, but remember all those 550 vs 535i threads. It'd be cool to see two stock cars go against each other.

It's true. Tom castrated his M5.

Anyhow, the E63 isn't running right. It's back to stock power and is being looked into.

wish I could have made this one man, but work is literally kicking my ass right now. I assume the section 1,2 and 3 was too loud for Tom? It is understandable.
