Beedub · 07-08-2012, 03:04 PM

DKF. you rock. beautifully welded parts, i can only imagine what the exhaust will look like!!!!! look forward to recieving my exhaust soooooonn ;-)

DERJ · 07-08-2012, 05:13 PM

Much better fit - I haven't drove it yet to confirm any dampening improvement, but you can see the slot of the new bracket visually matches the stock one...

(Old bracket on the left, new one on the right...)

I can provide a review, but no pics because I just plain forgot. I'll blame the heat, as working on the car all day in 103 degree temps wears you down after a while. After a lot of cold drinks and time inside the AC cooled house I went for a drive with the Rogue El Diablos. Yes, there's less drone IMO! Hit the 3K - 3.5K mark while cruising and the characteristic drone was much less pronounced. It's not totally gone, but this does help, and the exhaust is a lot more friendly now.

The fit and adjustment range is wonderful as well. While the stock hangers end up a bit forced and twisted, the DKF hangers accommodate various places (horizontal and vertical). Really well thought out and designed product and a must IMO if you go with an aftermarket exhaust.

Z4-VILLA · 07-11-2012, 02:38 PM

it appears that the rubber thred bolt thing does not match with the thread on the RPI..... we will now have to remove the exhaust and shave off the nut that was tack welded to the exhaust at RPI

Z4-VILLA · 07-11-2012, 03:04 PM

so far so good

Same problem with Remus. There is a bolt welded on to the silencer bracket that has to be shaved off. Hangers work fine with Diablo though. Which, by the way,

if anyone is interested, I have a set of Diablo silencers for sale and I may just throw in the DKF hangers too. I don't need them with my Remus cans.
