Dinan exhaust, Akrapovic exhaust or something else ?

LinhDuyHaM3 · 09-10-2015, 09:48 PM

Hello Guys.
I need your advice please.
right now I have Dinan x-pipe + M performance exhaust but not loud enough for me. I like to keep my Dinan x-pipe and sale my M performance exhaust to get different exhaust. Some says Dinan, some says Akrapovic, some says Active, don't know which one to get. Would someone please give me advice. Thanks so much

You are going to get a lot of replies that sound like this,
"Do a search"
"Been discussed over and over"

The akra is not very loud.

Revinora race or gintani if you want LOUD! But yes like that one guy said. Do some research every combination possible has been done you'll find a post about it

I have Dinan and absolutely love it! Absolute no drone and just the right amount of loud for me. Some might say it's a little too loud but I think it's just right.

Akra probably wont suit your needs based on what you have now. Maybe look at iPE

Try Eisenmann Race. I just installed it and it's pretty loud, at least to my ears.

If your looking for loud, you wont regret it. I have eisenman race paired with challenge race x pipe and it screams.

The akra is not very loud.

But it drones.

GVIFlyer · 09-12-2015, 09:22 PM

I bought the Dinan; it has a better sound than the BMW MPE, doesn't drone due to the Helmholtz chamber and makes a few ponies to boot.

I was aware the Akra is not loud, but I didn't know it drones. Can someone confirm that I understood that comment correctly? The Akra drones?

BzsBimmer · 09-13-2015, 09:49 AM

The Akra will "drone" at around 1800-2200 RPM. It's not unbearable but it does have a very low and boomy frequency at those RPM's.

The sound on the high ends of the RPM range are great to hear (I'm talking EVO system because I don't have experience with the fully catless system) and sounds even better when the system is heated up.

KingFishy · 09-13-2015, 11:37 AM

I have the MPE combined with fabspeed's catless primary and secondary catless and resonatorless x pipe. It is a orchestra of decibels and hydrocarbons. No drone at all but 3000 rpms and up it is nasty. Cold start is ridiculous. It is not neighbor friendly.

Tracyis300 · 09-13-2015, 12:41 PM

You already have a good setup! Just get some test pipes or high flow cats

I am full Dinan... I am on my second E92 and had the exact same setup before. There is just something different sounding I like about the Dinan, it sounds much more exotic to me. Other exhausts sound like the typical V8 rumble, which is ok if that is what you like.

Another plus is that there is absolutely no drone and you hardly know it is there until you get on it.

i would agree. full dinan setup is surprisingly one of the nicest combos i've heard for our cars.

op you won't be disappointed with the eisenmann race. i would like to hear what it sounds like. it'll be a monster
