Other exhausts available include REIkon, Remus, Eisenmann, Magnaflow, AA, etc. - but they don't all include new midpipe section - most are only muffler.
If you want something <$$ than PE, don't bother considering Dinan - everything they sell is overpriced

Yeah I knew Dinan was overpriced but they claim some minor gains as well as a nice rumble.. as far as I can tell when on sale it is a similar price to the BMW PE exhaust. If there aren't better cheaper options I'm guessing it would be down to these 2.
I know 5 HP gains aren't anything but does the PE exhaust offer anything other than just sound? Is the PE exhaust lighter weight than stock? Sure I'm looking for a nice growl on the car but any gains would be beneficial (Don't want to do a DP or anything more drastic cause of warranty right now.. exhaust seems like a "Safe" upgrade).
Either way it sounds like something I wouldn't be comfortable installing myself... If it was just a bolt-on that'd be different. Guess I'll have to save up more and wait a bit.
thanks for the info!
