Ordering exhaust from Dinan

Has anyone ordered a exhaust for the M235i lately? The reason I asked is because I ordered some springs, the supplemental kit, and exhaust without m performance diffuser.

I ordered these parts on Jul 20, and they haven't shipped yet. I called a few weeks back and was told the exhaust was the holdup. It this normal?

I ordered an intake from them earlier this year and it came pretty fast.

It's not normal but we are in a bit of a transition at the moment in shifting a lot of the more popular high volume running exhausts to robotics and its been a bit of a challenge. In the end it will mean more volume and quicker turns but its had its fair share of growing pains thus far. It doesn't help that this year exhaust demand spiked nearly 4x more then usual. In talking with other vendors it seems to be the case across the board for everyone. Regardless, all the major lines we have now caught up on or have significantly reduced. The only 3 SKUs that are really a problem at this point are the -0047/-0048 (the M235i exhausts) and -0054 (X5M exhaust). In reality the X5M exhaust is pretty minimal and is only a problem because that one has to be done by hand from start to finish. I haven't heard an updated ETA on the M235i exhaust but I have to imagine they would be the next one to be resolved since they are the only ones left.

I ordered mine the same day as you, through an authorized Dinan Dealer, and I'm currently being told now maybe mid-September... there's no hard date. It's been a bit of a drag waiting this long...I'm really happy with the Dinan Stage 2 and the Dinan CAI, and I'd like to get the exhaust...I may start looking at alternatives, but I dunno.

I'm having the same problem, I ordered a bunch of stuff in mid July and I'm STILL impatiently waiting for my exhaust (which I didn't want anyway)
All I really wanted was a nice little bit of stage 4 horsepower and now it's getting close to the waiting time for the whole car. Selling what you can't supply is not good in my book , better run real good.

Still waiting for the turbo after 2 months.

At Least that gives me sort of an idea when I may get mine.

The shop just informed me they received my exhaust in. Getting it installed tomorrow. So, I imagine you should be hearing something soon, if you haven't already.

I ordered a full P4 package on July 20th, and am still waiting. Guess the 20th was a popular day. Apparently the hold up now is the turbo. Anyone else ordered the big turbo?

Technically yours shipped but I believe yours was probably the one that had the impeller wheel get damaged in shipment so it had to come back and the turbo re-done. Assuming you are working with Schomp you are most likely that customer/order. The replacement one arrived yesterday I believe so if it didnt go out in the last few days it would be going out by the end of the week.

That's cool. I ordered the resonator delete, I hope it doesn't take too long. I will have everything you have except the tuning. I also will have the springs and ride kit.

Oh nice. I'm contemplating the springs. I'm pretty sure the resonator deletes are not on backorder - they should be in stock.

I'm sitting here looking at invoices from my dealer dated June 22 2016 for a full stage 4 Dinan system and I still don't have my big Turbo, needless to say I'm becoming somewhat concerned.

Hey. The guys at Dinan told me that a guy in Sacramento, probably you, and I are the oldest orders outstanding. He also told me that it should ship soon, possibly the next day - that was on Wednesday or Thursday, but I don't think it's happened yet.
