OVERVIEW
Dinan engineered this Free Flow Axle-Back Exhaust for the F10 BMW 535i to improve exhaust flow and reduce back pressure, which raises power output and gives the car a sportier voice — civilized when you want it to be, and pleasantly aggressive under hard acceleration. A Helmholtz chamber is built into the design to cancel the resonance or “drone” that free-flowing exhausts usually bring at low RPM.
The system is built to exacting specifications so it hangs on the factory brackets and hangers for a factory-like fit. It is fabricated entirely from 16 gauge 304 stainless steel and will resist corrosion for years. Twin 89mm laser-engraved tips, available polished or in ceramic black, finish the installation with a tasteful, high-performance look. The factory computer-controlled exhaust valve is eliminated as part of the install.
