Read your warranty for starters. It's foolish to have someone else tell you what is or isn't covered unless that person is your lawyer. I believe each state has its own laws for auto warranties which can complicate matters. Personally, I don't see how an axle-back exhaust can compromise anything on your car?

Dinan matches the BMW warranty on any product that is not marked "Race Purposes Only." So with this exhaust you would have the exact same BMW warranty and no BMW dealer would question it either because this is a Dinan product. You shouldn't have a warranty issue with any axle back exhaust either but that all depends on each dealer since some are more forgiving than others but they all know that Dinan matches the BMW warranty so there would be no problems going with Dinan. |

Am I missing something. My understanding is that the DINAN exhaust is shorter than stock not longer. This should allow one to remove the OEM unit,keep their stock exhaust in tack and use a flanged extension to make the connection without cutting.. That being said, I agree that it's pretty lame not to make it a true bolt on install.

Not bolt on
That was a big deal breaker for me, I was ready to jump on that 15% off deal and go for the black tip one, but I wont now, I would like a real bolt on

Agree that the DINAN is not a real bolt on. I also understand that the factory exhaust is one piece all the way to the flange. What I am suggesting is that any properly sized segment of exhaust piping with a flange welded to it (available inexpensively from a quality muffler shop) can eliminate the need to hack up the factory system.
That being said.....I can't figure out why DINAN chose the clamp approach. Makes no sense to me.. Tips are gorgeous though |

On another note, from this picture I can say that the muffler sits quite low and visible!

I was told this information from Dinan's internal reps. It was either Scott or Chris which are the two reps for West Coast and East Coast.

Looks like Dinan has added a bolt-on exhaust to there selection for $300 more.
http://www.dinancars.com/shop/D660-0...ps.aspx#page=1 Somewhat tempted. Was leaning Akra but for the price difference may just do this with N55 mids. Any thoughts? |

It appears that it would obstruct the wonderful differential cooler view while sitting in a car behind...don't like that.
