Long-time Dinan customer here.

Upon news that your free-flow exhaust was finally released, in June, I was told it would arrive late, on August 3rd. On August 3rd, Dinan promised it would arrive between Aug 17-21. Today (Aug 20th), I'm told that not only has the product not been shipped yet, it hasn't even hit production. New date (without guarantees): Sept 17th.

Your unending development and production delays, and your never-ending list of excuses are unfortunate -- though understandable. Lying to your customers, stringing them along, and wasting their time is unacceptable.

If I ran my business like you run yours, I wouldn't be able to afford one of your expensive metal tubes, in the first place.

Make this right, Dinan.

Hi @dinan_engineering, were some units completed and shipped or are all of the "post-June" units delayed until Sept?

Did you order direct from Dinan or third party? I ordered from X-Ph latter half of July.

All backorders from May/June/July were built and shipped this past week with exception of 3 (one from June and 2 from July). All remaining additional backorders are from August orders. We are back waiting on some additional raw materials to come in to start cranking those out again. Good news is the missing pieces right now are not long lead time stuff so barring any major hiccups there hopefully shouldnt me any major additional delays moving forward.

Anyway -- I'm guessing the June one is Robbie's based on shipping info but thats just an educated guess. Honestly not sure why that one was not filled before some of the others were shipped but there may be something else going on there for all I know (dealer requested the order be shipped complete with other items that may not have been available is a common reason as an example).

Regardless -- if each of you can PM me your dealer/who you ordered from and the order number, PO, or anything like that from those dealers that would assist me in pinning down which order is whose and get you some specific information.

I'm assuming yours has shipped? Dinan just updated that mine has not and I'm number 6 in the "third run" of things. Hopefully shipping sometime this decade.

Even though I ordered July 25th from X-PH the order wasn't received by Dinan until Aug 13th..

I contacted Mike at X-PH and I will be in the next batch. I will let you know when I get an update so you will have an idea of how your order is progressing.

I just got an update from XPH today, supposedly shipping Monday, 7 Sept, directly from Dinan.

Disregard, XPH has their wires crossed as Dinan updated that the current run units still aren't ready yet as they are still awaiting supplier parts. Dang it!

Any updates on these shipping out? I ordered in August and it still hasn't arrived.

Would also love to hear from more who have installed it – are you enjoying it? Anyone have any new videos?

So does it combine easily with the AA single midpipe?

Been analyzing some photos and looks like some cutting of the Dinan side is required

I just got my car on the December 30th after missing European delivery dates all last year. Due to the delays everyone discussed, I waited to order the Dinan exhaust until the car was in hand.

I reached out to a few folks and heard the 7-10 day shipping window was still valid as of Monday (Jan 14).

Just talked to my Dinan shop - ship date is extended another month.

Not sure how it was a week only 3 days ago and something shifted to a month but seems to be the trend here...

I'm not sure how this might impact the warranty unless you complained about an exhaust leak at the clamps.
And the car can be returned to stock, although with clamps at the cut point.

I don't think it can be combined with the AA mid due to where the Dinan merges with the stock system.
These pics also fall into the where do your put your stock exhaust thread [back side of garage].
Ziplocks to keep the bugs and critter out.

Anyone have any experience with AA midpipe and the Dinan rear + x pipe? I'm looking for the least raspy option and everyone swears by the AA but from all the clips I've listened to, the Dinan appears to be the least raspy...albeit a much more expensive option...
