Dinan Resonator Delete Pipe Installed
So I installed the Dinan Resonator delete pipe this weekend. I really only wanted a little more sound from the stock system. And this part basically delivers. There is a slight increase in sound but not much. The burbles are definitely more noticeable and maybe last a little longer. The install was pretty straight forward. Make two cuts and install the pipe. Probably took about 45 minutes total. Would have been nice if there was a Dinan logo on the pipe but oh well. Take a listen....

I guess I say basically because for $250 I wish it was a little louder under acceleration. Don't get me wrong I definitely notice a difference, especially on cold start up. But in reality this is a basic piece of pipe that probably costs Dinan maybe $50 to manufacture and that is being generous. I understand R&D and all that jazz. But if it was say $150 I would feel it would be way more worthwhile. I am still happy with it and would recommend it though

I did this mod a few weeks ago on my 235. Cold starts are really awesome and burbles are more noticeable. If you really step on the throttle, there's a definite increase in volume over OEM.
For pics, I think there's a PDF install on the Dinan site, but not 100% sure. I THINK I saw it there. Oh...and no obvious drone either.

I am thinking of going this route as well in the future. Are you running a tune also or O2 sim? I have the JB+ right now and really like it for the money.

No right now I'm just dealing with the CEL. Jb+ sounds really good for the money and I've been considering it, but I'm probably going to go with the full jb4 soon. I want to run the car on e30 Mix but the mixed reviews about some running good and others not so good have been holding me back.

Personally I would go with the O2 Sim and the JB+. Not as much power as the JB4 but much cheaper and easier to install.

I have JB4 on the X4 M40i and my 2 friends have JB4 w/ Meth on their M2. Long story short, the JB4 is not working out as we thought it would or were promised. The gains on 93 octane is a joke on a stock car, add a DP that frees up some power. The gains I see mostly is with e85 though; waiting to see what a proper flash will gain Working something out with 2 local tuners for proTUNING Freaks / BM3 btw
