Here at Turner Motorsport, we've loved the E39 540i for a long time. Our engineering team gathered around one and thought, "how can we make this better?" Muffler deletes are among the most drastic improvements an enthusiast can make to his or her M62 powered vehicle. BMW V8s sound incredible without the factory muffler. We wanted to offer an extremely high quality, 304 stainless steel muffler delete that you could install yourself - so we did. Our Turner Muffler deletes are CAD designed in-house, ensuring that each unit has integrated hangers and is mandrel bent to precisely fit in the factory exhaust location. Additionally, we added a turn down if you aren't interested in aftermarket tips - however, there's a cut line to add tips as well.

Features:

Turner designed Rear Muffler Delete - made of T304 stainless steel, 1.25mm wall thickness, CNC mandrel bent 2.75" tubing for straight-through exhaust gas routing

Tig-welded exhaust hangers that fit into the factory location for direct fitment

Stainless steel Accuseal exhaust clamps are included for a leak-proof seal

Large radius bends throughout provide smooth transitions for the best flow possible

KIT Options Include:

Muffler delete section

Dual 3.0" exhaust tips (select your finish)

Stainless steel accu-seal exhaust clamps

Optional exhaust pipe cutter and muffler hanger tools for a DIY

The Dinan stainless steel axle-back exhaust is designed to compliment the E39 M5, rather than offend the driver and passengers with harsh exhaust notes. Dinan engineers their exhausts to sound great and be a natural fit to the character of the car as well as produce more power and torque. Dual 3.5" stainless tips engraved with the Dinan logo fill out the rear valence (choose either polished or satin black tips). Annoying highway drone has also been engineered out of the system. Dinan uses only 304 stainless steel in their systems for the maximum corrosion protection. This system replaces the factory rear mufflers at a pre-determined cut point on the stock exhaust, which makes for an easy installation and you can reinstall your original mufflers using factory hardware. Detailed installation instructions are included.

Most notably, Dinan offers a four year, 50,000-mile warranty that is unparalleled by most other exhaust manufacturers.

  • +6 HP @ 6500 RPM / +5 lb/ft @ 6500 RPM

Few sounds can summon goosebumps quite like the S62 V8 found in the E39 M5 with a well designed exhaust system. Rogue Engineering is proud to introduce the E39 M5 Diablo Exhaust. The heavy factory resonator (21 lbs. by itself) primary job is to muffle sound and eliminate exhaust "drone". It does such a great job, much of the exhaust sound is killed by this resonator by itself. The factory mufflers do a fantastic job of completely muffling sound in the E39 M5. So well that the only way you can really hear the vehicle is to completely roll down all the windows to really hear the V8 exhaust sound. Between the factory resonator and the two rear mufflers, these components weigh a staggering 98 lbs. All Rogue Engineering Diablo exhausts are produced using only 100% full T-304 stainless steel because of its consistent strength characteristics, corrosion resistance, and wide range of materials (important for controlling sound and exhaust flow). Features: New, lighter muffler body reduces weight to only 19.4 lbs. per side. 100% T-304 stainless steel construction and internals, a majority of the exhaust made from 16 gauge stainless steel. Exclusive, oversize 3" OD inlet tubing (stock and most other aftermarket companies have 2.5" OD) for maximum exhaust flow. Fully mandrel bent tubing, no crimps or flattened areas. Mil-finished pipes and muffler, mirror polished, Rogue Engineering Club Sport double walled, stainless steel quad 80mm, staggered tips. Completely fills in factory valence without modifications. Full TIG welded construction, no lock seams or pinch welds. Factory-like hangers for OEM fit Rogue Engineering logo tastefully stamped in the body of the muffler Flow-through design does not create muffler "hot spots" found on chambered mufflers Optimized tubing sizes and minimized bends maintain exhaust velocity without compromising necessary backpressure Deep, throaty tone, without the drone.
