The
F90 M5 has impressed users and critics alike with its awe-inspiring
power, effortless delivery, and general embodiment of what BMW has
always been about - refined performance. Form and function reign
supreme from the factory in true German form. On the other hand, other
aspects may not be as carefully cultivated. The stock exhaust note on
the F90 M5 as an example, while no slouch, is probably best described
as having a subdued aggressive note. Dinan believes for such a powerful
and impressive car however that the vehicle deserves to be able to
bellow a bit louder and more aggressively. The F90 M5 is the alpha on
the public roads after all. Dinan's goal is to let the machine sound
the part in addition to performing it. With Dinan, there is no reason
to sacrifice anything in the process to meet that goal either. Whether
that be in the form of drone, civility, appearance or any other aspect.
In order to achieve desired sound volume and tone, Dinan felt becoming
of the F90 M5 the tubing was enlarged to 83mm (vs 80mm stock) to allow
freer flow throughout the entirety of the system. The larger tubing is
fed into a muffler that is typical of all Dinan exhaust design and
utilizes absorption and reactive technologies designed to improve
exhaust flow and reduce backpressure. The combination results in
increased power output and a great sporty sound that is civilized when
you want it to be, and pleasantly aggressive under hard acceleration.
This is partly courtesy of the retained computer-controlled exhaust
valves that limit noise during low-speed driving and open fully during
high-load conditions to allow free flow and greater sound as the bulk
of the gases are bypassing the muffler. Like all Dinan exhausts, our M5
free flow exhaust is engineered to reduce low-RPM drone so the cabin of
the vehicle is still intimate and not drowned in an excessively loud
tone. With the Dinan exhaust equipped on the M5 you get the best of
both worlds; aggressive tone/sound and civility. A combination that we
have termed internally as "refined aggression."
Sound isn't the only aspect of the exhaust that has been modified. The
Dinan F90 M5 exhaust has been skillfully crafted entirely out of T304
stainless steel and TIG welded for the best visual appearance and
color. The entire system is then brush finished to further guarantee an
immaculate looking system out of the box. The attention to detail is
not limited to parts of the system you can't see once the exhaust is
installed but is also extended to the exhaust tips themselves. The
Dinan exhaust sports enormous, quad 4" (102mm) clamp-on, double-walled,
polished and laser engraved exhaust tips. Dinan has retained its
signature straight-cut tip design, safeguarding its unique and elegant
styling position amongst a crowded marketplace full of angle cuts. The
tips masterfully fill up and accentuate upon the factory cut-outs
showcasing an extremely aggressive, yet refined, styling that will turn
heads even before it is heard.
