Anyone with Aftermarket Exhaust in the MN area?
I'm looking at getting new exhaust, I've looked at all the threads with all the videos... Is there anyone in the Twin Cities area that has an m3 with exhaust or is at least in the market?
I'd like to hear some aftermarket exhausts in person because as we all know, movies don't always do them justice. Plus it'd be nice to meet some m3 drivers in the area... as far as I know e9x enthusiasts in the area are somewhat hard to come by... ![]() |

I'm in Minneapolis but do not have an aftermarket exhaust. You should come to Cars and Cafe on the first Saturday of every month. There are 350+ cars there monthly. You will see plenty of M3's there. Here is some info:
Please mark your calendars with the following 2010 dates: May 1st June 5th July 3rd August 7th September 4th October 2nd November 5th HD Videos from previous events (Thanks to Matt Desmond!): Photo from Last Year (Thanks to Alex Bellus): April: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe4409# May: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe5209# June: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe6609# July: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe7409# August: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.a...PSDynoDay8109# September: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe9509# October: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe10309# November: http://picasaweb.google.com/bellus.alex/CarsCafe11709# |

I live in the area. Stock exhaust. Seriously considering the Dinan since they are on sale now.
I'm going to try and do the May 1st Cars and Coffee, if I can find the time. Anyone doing the BMW DE at BIR in May? |

After recently installing black kidneys, M & S filter and 12mm spacers, I am also thinking Dinan or maybe Gintani, although for a daily driver I can't deal with drone....I was at Brainerd last year, what a shame they changed the track!...the old front straight with the sweeping right hander was the best...now its short, slow and technical. Not nearly as fun...

![]() Have you ever been in an e90 m3 with aftermarket or heard in person? This year's Brainerd DE and most others use the traditional track setup. At least they did last year for a Porsche/bmw club mixer I did up there. |

Dinan exhaust is about $2300, then you get a 20% discount if you buy it before the end of the month. I can't handle any drone so really the only option for me.

maybe I am mistaken but I thought that they physically changed the course where they put a hard left at the end of the front straight which then leads to the back sweeper?...it use to have the long front straight which lead directly into the big sweeper...160mph plus on the front with 120 or so through the turn....

It's the weekend of May 14th. Here is a link to the North Star club where the enrollment is.
http://htmldb.northstarbmw.org/pls/h...:1523,CAL_LIST The free tech inspection is this week, on Thursday. Details are on the site. I'm enrolled. I have been to Brainerd one other time with the PCA in a Boxster S. This will be the first time in the M3. Should be fun. |

My brother is home right now and he has a highly modded Red VW GTI. He said that he saw a white e92 m3 with exhaust. He noted that it sounded amazing. I am assuming that it was you? How are you liking the Dinan these days?

The exhaust has been great, I really like the balance between something a bit more aggressive but not in your face. Sounds sweet in the parking garage downtown. Highway driving with the windows up it is pretty close to stock. At startup it is much deeper, sounds cool.

Got my exhaust put on a little over a month ago. I went with the Eisenmann Race. Sounds beautiful. I'd still like to hear the Dinan if you are around.
