Dinan 340i exhaust with midpipes is awesome!

JHV340 · 11-26-2016, 02:25 PM

Installed my Dinan axleback with midpipes and WOW!! The car sounds like a beast now and the exhaust burbles are amazing! If anyone is questioning buying this exhaust I highly recommend the quality and sound. I will post a video later when I get home.

cmplaya · 11-26-2016, 06:03 PM

have you heard an mppsk in person? just wondering how they compare

JHV340 · 11-26-2016, 06:05 PM

IMO I think the Dinan exhaust with mid pipe is considerably louder and throatier than the mppsk.

Kwongyy · 11-26-2016, 07:35 PM

Wow, thats a huge difference. I installed an Mperformance backbox and tbh i barely noticed any difference. People would only tell me it has a louder growl when flooring it.

does anyone know will this bolt onto the MPE backbox as it says on the website fitment with other axle back units are not guaranteed.

This sounds amazing. How's the drone?

jeebus · 11-27-2016, 12:21 PM

yeah, I like my dinan exhaust on my 340. sounds great!

JHV340 · 11-27-2016, 12:22 PM

The drone isn't bad at all. I personally like to hear the exhaust coming through the car a little.

mike@x-ph.com · 11-28-2016, 07:27 PM

Glad you like it

Levity · 11-29-2016, 04:31 PM

Sounds great! Is the noise somewhat reasonable when driving normally in comfort? I am considering an exhaust, and because I leased, the options appear to be MPPSK or Dinan. I also came from a moderately loud STi, so going right back to loud doesn't seem that appealing. Would definitely prefer something that offers the best of both worlds. Thanks in advance for any input.

JHV340 · 12-02-2016, 11:35 AM

I think the noise is reasonable in comfort but you definitely hear the exhaust, there's nothing quiet or sleeper about it.

jpsimon · 12-02-2016, 01:00 PM

Is there any chance you could post up some photos from a few different angles showing how far the exhaust tips stick out?

JHV340 · 12-02-2016, 01:02 PM

Here are a few different angles

jpsimon · 12-03-2016, 10:17 AM

Cool thanks!

iMinLuv · 01-21-2017, 03:55 PM

Had mine done yesterday, just the exhaust. Thinking about doing either a res delete or Dinan Midpipes.

takoloko · 01-21-2017, 04:11 PM

My Dinan exhaust and mid pipes are held at UPS for the weekend, looking forward to installing them Monday

takoloko · 01-23-2017, 07:51 PM

So I put both the mid pipes and exhaust today, it's sounds amazing and very throaty but cold start is a bit too loud for my taste.... to be fair I have the CG catted down pipe which had already given it a great sound. I think I'm going to be putting the resonators back on and giving it another try tomorrow.

How do you like the CG catted downpipe both from a sound a power standpoint? I'm looking at ordering one to go with my dinan exhaust.

I love the CG Catted Down Pipe, in terms of power you can feel that it is a lot less restrictive. It sounds great with the Dinan exhaust (don't get me wrong), I just think that in combination with the mid pipes its a bit too loud. I am going to remove the mid pipes and keep the Dinan exhaust. Ill try taking a video and posting.

Yeah please do that may seal the deal for me. I don't have midpipes yet so sounds like it's the perfect combo without em

takoloko · 01-24-2017, 10:16 AM

For all others interested I will be selling my mid pipes, going to be asking to be asking the $374 (dealer cost) plus shipping OBO. Would prefer local pick up obviously.

Please post a clip after you put the resonator back.
