Thinking about getting Dinan exhaust for the 4.8 but can not decide if its worth it. Will it be that big of a difference?

I have a 4.8 and put dinan exhaust on my baby. The sound is just music to my ears---power difference...honestly not much, plus i have Dinan CAI and throttle body which added a little power. If you are willing to spend the money it worth it. Some people argue the look of the 4.8 exahust is better looking--i agree but not much differnece to me...and did i mention the sound yet?

They sure do sound great, but I hate the looks of those cut-off pieces of plumbing they call the tail pipes. I think it's extrodinarily cheap of Dinan to do that, especially for the money they charge. If you get one, have the 4.8 tips put back on...

I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing the can be welded back on.

I think the 4.8 sounds very good stock/unmodified. If you def must change it, go for the Eisenmann.

I would be happy to install 4.8is exhaust to my 4.6is. I think it sounds just right, a bit throatier than 4.6
I've heard Eisemann Race exhaust video and I think that's too raspy.
But, if Dinan exhaust sounds same in 4.8is as it does in 645 then that's just great, my neighbour had one and it was music to your ears
