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 know someone who has Dinan exhaust on his 4.8is. It sounds a little more throatier than stock. What i did not like is the tips extend too much out and look out of place. See pics.

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