DINAN Mid-Pipe Software With Akrapovic
Since Full exhausts like Akrapovic cause CEL. Could One have Akrapovic (or any other full system) installed then do Dinan Mid-pipe software to avoid CEL? I've asked my dealer and they are not sure if they can sell the software without the mid-pipe. Nobody around my area does tuning but one dealer is a Dinan dealer so I'm thinking this may be a solution ?

I live in Vancouver, Canada. there is only 1 Dinan dealler. No AA. I'm just wanting to hear if anyone has done this and if this is a good idea. I like the idea of having some warranty coverage after ECU tune...Especially after reading about El mariachi

Guys,
Thanks for the thoughts on the other tuners. Most of us are already aware of the other options, but are choosing Dinan for a couple specific reasons: A) we already have a Stage 1 Dinan tune, so an upgrade is only a couple hundred $ B) we like the Dinan warranty on the ECU tune C) could be a combination of both In any case, thanks for the help an suggestions but we are truly looking to see if anyone has ONLY done the software WITHOUT buying their midpipe. |

I wouldn't combine a non-dinan aftermarket system with a Dinan product. The warranty will not be picked up by Dinan.
Clearly states in their warranty not to use unauthorized aftermarket parts with their stuff. Quote: "The Dinan Limited Warranty Specifically Excludes: Damage resulting from the use of other manufacturer’s products in conjunction with Dinan products or systems." Just gives them a good reason to deny your warranty claim. |

But it is the indirect "warranty" I'm concerned about. Apparently, BMW will not warrant engine failure if ECU modification is evident. I want DINAN to modify ECU with their software. I don't expect to have a warranty for the exhaust but engine should still be covered. NO?
Anyways if this is an ISSUE i will sell the x pipe from Akrapovic and run Dinan midpipe to Akra mufflers... |

I am also interested to know if the software would work on non-Dinan midpipes...i dont see why it wouldnt but...you never know.
In terms of the warranty, I think the best way to approach this is with a "no guarantees" mentality. There are to many "if's" for it to be a simple "yes" or "no" situation.

the only REASON to get this would be to still be covered under warranty. Otherwise you could do powerchip, Gintani or some other tune that gets rid of CEL + makes power....

So if you modify you car with "race" software from Dinan, you end up with NO engine warranty from Dinan (because it is "race" doftware) AND BMW (since ECU was modified)?
Yikes! |
