Hi have 05 s I have a budget of around 300 for an exhaust. I can get the dinan 375 shipped or tsudo around 300. Cant decide which one. The dinan seems to sound better but the tsudo is the full exhaust. But worried about tsudo fitment. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks

 

Save your money till you can get something better than both

 

What's wring with dinan?it was a 500.00 plus system. And it sounds good. What about the ireland engineering? Looks good for the price but the ttips looks wimpy. I think paying 500 or more for an exhaust is just paying for their advertisement.materials don't cost that much money.

 

Every Dinan exhaust that has come through my shop has been leaking, hanging crooked or blown out. Hence why they have been discounted and discontinued.

 

I'm shocked.... Usually financial stuff is first rate. Well with BMWs they are.so how aboit the Ireland ? What's the general word on them?

 

*dinan

 

going through these forums it seems the favorite exhaust is Milltek. However, for the budget you've mentioned, Ireland might be a good bet. Seems to be some pretty positive comments other than the tips are a little off.

 

I'm sure the.miltek is great. But for the price? Were comparing apples to apples here not oranges.does that make sense? A better fitted eyxhaust is worth 500 more? Not to me anyway

 

I say if you aren't going beyond a 15% pulley, headers and intake, you can do alright with a DINAN muffler. None of the off-the shelf exhausts make much power if any.

I have the DINAN muffler and the weakest link of it is the crappy way it's supposed to connect with your stock centre pipe. I just got flanges welded on it and it's way more secure and won't leak. As far as anything else, I've put countless hours with it on the track and even with higher EGTs due to my header, it's never blown out. It's been on since 2003 and still working fine. It's lighter than most exhaust systems too. To me, you could buy a 15% pulley, the discounted exhaust and an intake for the price of a Milltek.

 

Get the Tsudo one if you are on a budget, fitment is good I think someone did a write up you can search here for it.

 

I found these picture online hope this help
