Stock part is $450 and dealer charged $500 labor to replace it. ER pipe is less than 300 and you can install it yourself given time and patience. There's no way you'll break the ER pipe and it's cheaper there's no reason not to do that if you're adding power.

Did Dinan cover the cost? |
No, the dealer which was a BMW/Dinan dealer flat out denied it insisting that the only way a charge pipe could blow was if I had tampered with it. Which clearly I hadn't, but they refused to even try to warranty the part on ridiculous grounds that such breakage never occurs and cannot occur with tampering.
