The engine and the connection method may have changed but the recipe for improved sound remains the same. Now available for the S68 powered (LCI) F95 X5M and F96 X6M, the Dinan X-pipe introduces a more aggressive tone and an increase in volume over the stock system. Coupled with the associated Dinan exhaust, the sound is further enhanced into a smoother, fuller, and more aggressive growl that perfectly encapsulates the dynamic nature of the V8 powered SAV’s. The combination also effectively creates a full cat-back solution that eliminates any need of cutting the factory exhaust. This complete mid-section kit removes the hydro-formed factory center section, including the resonator, and replaces it with larger 3.25" T304 stainless steel tubing for freer flowing capabilities. In place of the factory resonator, Dinan incorporates a beautifully crafted X-pipe made from mandrel-bent tubing for minimum restriction, unlike stamped X-pipes which are commonplace in the market. This hand-made 'X' is not only the focal point of the system in terms of aesthetics but also the star when it comes to the effects on the sound. Promoting even flow to both banks of tips, the 'X' removes unwanted nuances in sound caused by uneven exhaust flow that is found in stock systems. Along with the inherent benefit of increased volume by removal of the resonator, the Dinan X-Pipe for the S68 powered F9x X5M/X6M produces a louder, smoother and fuller exhaust note.
