Morning all

Has anyone tried this exhaust from ebay, seems like a good price but unsure what it sounds like...

Thanks :P
 
I bought one of these and fitted at home myself last month. It came in a box labelled Direnza (there is some more feedback if you Google direnza exhausts). Came well packaged and with all fixings and gaskets needed even if you need to drill out the downpipe studs...this was a week long drama involving several cobalt drill bits 😁
The exhaust itself looks to be really well made, good quality welds. Needed a bit of fettling underneath to get it in correct position and used some instant gasket/silicone sealant on the joints as well as the supplied gaskets but eventually got it sitting correctly with joints all sealed.
I'm quite pleased with the sound, it not overly loud and doesn't drone at motorway speeds. After a few hundred miles the sound is developing nicely, I would describe as growling with some pops and burbles on overrun.

Thanks Stevieboy
That's really helpful, don't suppose you have a video of the car running once fitted :D 8)

Thanks Mike
 
Hi stevieboy438

Have you had chance to get that video of your new exhaust? Sorry to ask but really want to get one ordered!

Thanks :D Mike
 
I too would appreciate a video, ours has a straight through rear box, and my god its irritating and drones horribly.
 
I think stevieboy is too busy keeping the locals up with his sporty exhaust to post a vid lol
 
Got mine all fitted now!
It wasn't a straight forward swap though, had to be cut and repositions (see pics) and the old took 2 hours to remove and had to be cut out in the end.
Sounding great now though! Im gonna let it run in for a few hundred miles then post a video.

I've been following this for weeks. I don't even think I can get this sent over to Aus but just the anticipation and build up surrounding hearing a lucrative video of this exhaust!

Any pics of the tips fitted?
 
I've till got OEM on mine but one of the hangars for the back box has broken... excuse to get a new one right? interested to see (hear) what you think of it seeing as an eisemann exhaust is well over 1k!!
