The G30 M550i exhaust ushers in a new era of Dinan exhaust design. To date, Dinan has been synonymous with welded on, thin walled tips and a philosophy of exuding a civilized note when you want it to be, and a pleasantly aggressive one under hard acceleration. While the mantra is maintained, albeit tweaked with the emergence of mid-pipes and resonator deletes to those who want an even more aggressive sound, the styling of the tips is being drastically transformed. The new massive 4 diameter tips on the M550i exhaust are the biggest we have done thus far in addition to being double walled, the polar opposite of our normal thin walled style. Perhaps most importantly however is the new tips are clamp-on. Not welded as in the past, so they can be easily swapped to new styles, or replaced as the need arises. Internally, the exhaust is typical of other Dinan exhausts and is designed to improve exhaust flow by reducing back pressure, resulting in increased power output and a great sporty sound that is civilized when you want it to be, and pleasantly aggressive under hard acceleration. This is partly courtesy of the retained computer controlled exhaust valves that limit noise during low speed driving and open fully during high-load conditions to allow free flow. Like all Dinan exhausts, our M550i Free Flow Exhaust is engineered to reduce low-RPM drone so the cabin of the vehicle is still intimate and not drowned in an excessively loud tone. In fact, on the G30 M550i equipped with a Dinan exhaust you will be astounded at how eerily quiet it is in the cabin. That is quickly changed however when exiting the vehicle and being witness to the sporty luxury sedan revving its stout V8 engine with the exhaust valves wide open. Blissfully bellowing a sweet deep tone that begs for more is the reward. When you succumb to those desires the throaty note at full load is even more rewarding letting all those around you know your M550i is seriously capable yet dignified at the same time.
Any tuning/performance-based mods/work/quotes and products are strictly for off-road and motorsport use only. Performance mods/certain exhaust systems will cause your vehicle to fail the MOT emissions test, therefore rendering the vehicle unroadworthy and illegal to be used on UK roads. PLEASE BE AWARE – Sports cats can NOT legally be installed on a vehicle for use on a public road that was manufactured after 1st March 2001 unless Type ECE 103R is approved (identified by ‘103R’ in the exhaust product title). Fitting a Cat/Cat Bypass or GPF delete/bypass to a vehicle that is to be used on UK roads will cause the vehicle to fail the MOT emissions test, therefore rendering it unroadworthy and illegal to be used on UK roads. Please note that UK regulations specify that the nearside and offside front door windows, for which the driver uses for forward vision, and when using external rear facing mirrors, must permit a light transmittance value of at least 70% ( for motor vehicles first used on or after 1st April 1985), with the front windscreen permitting a light transmittance value of 75% Please note that factory fitted windows are already tinted and by adding additional tinting, this may result in vehicles no longer being compliant for Road use.Read more
