It is fast, and it sounds like a crossover. If you picked the M40i because you wanted the engine, you should get to hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dinan Valved Cat-Back Exhaust with black tips replaces everything behind the catalytic converters on the BMW G01 X3 M40i and G02 X4 M40i. The factory center collector and resonator are gone, the split routing becomes one straighter 83mm pipe (80mm stock), and the rear exits through a true quad-tip layout with four 3.75 in. black ceramic tips. It keeps the factory valve, so the car still settles down when you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the Dinan Valved Cat-Back Exhaust Keeps Sound Without Drone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoud is easy. Livable is the hard part in an SUV you drive every day. Dinan uses a Helmholtz-equipped muffler that targets the frequencies behind interior drone, while the free-flowing single pipe gives the B58 a sharper, fuller voice. The factory valve stays in place, so low-speed cruising stays composed and the pipe opens up under hard acceleration. Want the valve open on demand? The system works with an optional aftermarket exhaust valve remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quad tips are four separate working pathways, not Y-tips or dummy outlets. The whole system is brushed 100% T304 stainless steel, TIG welded, with no hydroformed pipe. At 53 pounds against the factory 60, it also takes 7 pounds off the rear of the car. Dinan measured up to 6 HP and 5 lb-ft at 6600 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDinan Cat-Back Exhaust Install and Legal Status\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct bolt-on that uses the factory mounting points. No cutting and no welding. It fits both pre-LCI and LCI cars. Because it starts after the catalytic converters, it does not affect vehicle emissions: Dinan rates it Emissions Code 5, legal for sale or use on emissions-controlled vehicles.
