Engineering E60 M5 Diablo

New
Design! Lighter assembly, Rogue Club Sport Tips, Improved
Drone-Free Sound!
Hear and feel the incredibly deep tone that retains the
unmistakable V10 wail at high RPMs with Rogue Engineering's E60
M5 DIABLO exhaust. Our new design is even lighter and looks even
better, thanks to the feedback of many customers.

Rogue Engineering is proud to introduce their E60 M5 DIABLO
exhaust. A cursory glance at the exhaust easily shows how this
exhaust excels in performance while saving weight. However, a
closer look will show the pure artistry of its construction and
elements of unique design.
Sound Tailor Fit For YOU!
The Rogue Engineering E60 M5 Diablo is more than just a great
sounding exhaust. By studying the factory exhaust system, it
just made sense to develop the exhaust the way Rogue did.
The Diablo system replaces the rear mufflers (shown in orange)
only, while leaving all other sections in place. If you're
looking for more sound, you can replace the center crossover
resonator (shown in green), with Rogue
Engineering's E60 X-Pipe replacement.
The factory system uses catalytic converters and resonators
in the system to help control sound and emissions. Simply
removing these items from the system would theoretically add
power, but also add unwanted noise levels. Other companies that
offer "full" exhaust solutions (complete front to
back) like to make these infinitesimal power increases but
really are trying to justify the added cost and tooling of the
extra tubing and welding required to produce this
"system". When you weigh the benefits, it just did not
make sense to Rogue ton develop a full replacement system.

Pros
and Cons of "Full" Exhaust System Solutions
|
|
Pros
|
Cons |
- Lighter than stock
- Slight power
increase
- No cutting required
|
- Increased cost,
typically 2x or 3x the cost of just mufflers
- Drone in cabin from
lack of resonators
- Exhaust volume may
be too much, and cannot be controlled
- No longer meets
emissions without cats
- Fit may be an issue,
with much more factory parts being replaced

After studying the benefits of a muffler-only replacement,
Rogue worked on the sound. Internal muffler tuning done the old
fashioned way, tweaking the dimensions of the muffler, the
internal perforated tubing (perforation size, spacing, and
tubing length) are all factored in to get the exact desired
sound which makes it unmistakably a Rogue Engineering DIABLO
exhaust for the E60 M5. Since this muffler design is a
straight-through design, the performance gain from the decrease
in restriction is an expected benefit as well.
E60 M5 Diablo Features:
The RE E60 M5 Diablo is made to fit exactly like factory.
Features of E60 M5 Diablo include:
- New design now weighs only 17.4 lbs. per side (stock is 38 lbs. per side).
Saves 41.2 lbs.!
- 100% T-304 stainless steel construction and internals,
many other exhausts on the market are made from 16 gauge
stainless steel.
- Fully mandrel bent tubing, no crimps or flattened areas
- Mil-finished pipes and muffler, mirror polished, Rogue
Club Sport double walled, stainless
steel quad 89mm, 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.
- Will not change ground clearance.
- Will not void factory warranty.
- Will not affect emissions.
- No permanent modifications required for installation.
All Stainless Steel is the same, right? WRONG!:
All Rogue Engineering Diablo exhausts are produced using only
100% full T-304 stainless steel because of its consistent
strength characteristics, and corrosion resistance. Recently,
Rogue examined a well known exhaust brand only to discover the
use of 20 gauge stainless steel (stainless is typically sold by
weight) throughout the muffler body. While great for reducing
weight, this is not a good practice when trying to build a
product to last. This common practice of weight (and cost)
savings occurs in European and US made exhausts. Rogue
Engineering does not subscribe to this practice in their
production exhausts! Rogue wants you to enjoy the exhausts for
many years to come, even if it means sacrificing some weight
savings (all Rogue Engineering exhausts are lighter than stock
units).
Beware of some companies that pre-coat their exhaust products
with "thermal coatings". In fact, they may be hiding
inferior stainless steel or inferior welding processes. Rogue
Engineering Diablo exhausts are always TIG welded and never
coated.
Some companies have chosen to build their "stainless
steel" exhausts with Grade 409 stainless, because it is
less expensive than 304. While Grade 409 will resist atmospheric
and exhaust gas corrosion, a light surface rust will form is
almost all atmospheric conditions. |
