After having some shipping issues with another exhaust, I went ahead and ordered the Dinan axleback and installed it over the weekend. Install is pretty straightforward with a couple tedious moments. Since the system uses larger valves, the factory modules mate to a bracket with lots of small screws, nuts, and washers. The box also came a little beat up and dented both points where the axleback meets the midpipe, but nothing a pipe expander couldn’t handle.

I was able to grab a quick vid for revs and a couple of the exhaust this morning. I ordered some generic tips since I don’t really care for DINAN’s design. I’ll add the exhaust comparison since I have the DINAN mid pipe as well, but it sounds really nice and throaty. The DINAN vid of the LCI exhaust doesn’t exaggerate. What you hear is what you get!

Enjoy!

Sounds amazing!

I'm glad we disagree on the DINAN tips. I think they're the best looking of all the tip designs I've seen for the F95. Just a timeless, straight cut design with the vaunted DINAN logo laser etched up top.

Twinsies no mas! lol Enjoy dude.

Sounds great OP!

Ha yes, we differ on tastes somewhere. I have never been a fan of straight cut tips and have preferred slant cut. Tried straight cut tips with my X5 M50i’s exhaust the short time I had it but never quite cared for the style.

Thanks for the video! Sorry, to confirm, this is WITH or WITHOUT the Dinan midpipe?

This is with the Dinan midpipe and axleback exhaust. Essentially a catback exhaust with no upgrades to the downpipes. I do have comparison vids of stock vs resonator delete vs Dinan midpipe a page or so back.

Sounds really good man! Really woke it up. Good move on the tips. Slant cut FTW.
