Dinan axel back and mid pipe thoughts

So I got really good offer for a brand new Dinan Axel back black tops with a Dinan X mid pipe, originally I was looking at a MPE exhaust but with the offer I got I can use the money left over for other mods but my question is even though it is a very good price I'm talking half the price of what it originally would cost both together. I do not want to buy just solely on price I would rather spend money on a quality exhaust but I was looking here for your thoughts on this setup if it is a good sounding quality exhaust I will get it if not then I won't be please tell me what you guys think

Sounding good is up to you to decide but nobody can deny Dinan isn't quality. If you like the way it looks and sounds it seems like a no brainer.

Dude I got my car used and it had the Dinan axle back already it's probably the best sounding exhaust for the car. All of the other exhausts I herd sound raspy I'm not even a fan of Dinan and the rest of there stuff but I'm so glad my car had it. I can't speak for the mid pipes but the axle back is great.

I have Dinan exhaust and x-pipe. Sounds good and no rasp. Not as loud as others but I like it

I only have the Dinan axleback and it is definitely not as loud as the MPE or Akrapovic exhaust systems. I'm looking to add the Xpipe to see if this makes a bit of a difference since the axleback exhaust only is marginally better than stock imo.

Bro do Dinan rear with Remus Resonated midpipe. One of the cleanest setups I've heard! I had Akra before it and thought this sounded better!

PM me for sound clips I used to have that setup

I think the Dinan axle-back is one of the best sounding exhausts for the F8X. I haven't heard one with the mid-pipe though. However, I think I might have seen a thread or two about fitment issues with the Dinan midpipe. Not 100% positive on that so you might want to check on it.

You just need to add extra washers otherwise you will get vibration. They give you 2 each in the packet but need 4 to get enough clearance

I really like my Dinan axle back exhaust. It removed the lawn mower buzzing and crappy start up sounds. It is not louder but sounds much deeper and cleaner. I heard the mid pipes help a bit though too. Also read the AA midpipes really sounded great too!

I hope this helps

Dinan midpipe with rear muffler is my favorite setup on the F8X in my opinion.
Some are too loud and some brands are too raspy

Dinan offers a very balanced sound
