Here is something a buddy made a long time ago, it obviously won't have any of the newer exhaust. However, it's a good start and probably get you were you want.

It was posted on the old forum, and now only lives on fanatics.

Euro headers, cats or cheap copy alternatives and any exhaust you like. Just know that some exhausts will rob your car of power like Rogue Engineering El Diablo.

Dinan isn't making it. 😉

So it's a rep then? Or even worse, a valvetronic product?

It will be a fully titanium version with both sets of tips working and handmade here in the USA. It will be a small batch piece for enthusiasts that want the aero, size, fitment and OEM+ness of the Dinan but hate the weight, dummy exhaust tips and want something nicer than a Chinese/Taiwanese etc made Dinan exhaust.

Dinan makes their exhausts in-house, in Opelika Alabama.

They are one of the few that makes things in the US still.

Oh good to know, I assumed they switched to all overseas manufacturing when they got bought out. Pretty crazy they're charging $2k for those.

Dinan has gotten a lot of flack and lost a lot of potential customers standing their ground on the claim that you don't make power unless you you make the sec3 straight through to the right side tips so that's a big "not a dinan" imo


That being said my dream exhaust was always a dinan shaped muffler made out of titanium that was close to stock volume w no drone and this seems close to it

I will post more details soon. It should be an ideal solution for Dinan section 3 fans such as yourself hopefully.
