335i Direnza Exhaust?

StuyMac · 09-06-2017, 09:55 AM

Just wondering if anyone has fitted the Direnza exhaust to their 335i?

Ive had coilovers from them on another car, and I was very happy with them, but not seen anything about their exhausts....

Poor quality Chinese parts.

Have a look at www.ap-performance.co.uk as they have some good exhausts on there, although I don't think they have their full range loaded yet.

I actually bit the bullet and bought one.

Welds are as good as anything Ive seen before, perfect fitment (took an hour on my back on the drive), and sounds great too...

It looks very cheap!

StuyMac · 09-20-2017, 02:35 PM

It is, a fraction of the price of the MPE 😂

It doesn't look or feel cheap in the flesh, just maybe not overpriced like the other exhausts. I mean, how can you charge over £750 for a backbox 😬

Some pictures....

Looks nice, what size are the tips, 4"? Any pictures from further away?

StuyMac · 10-07-2017, 01:44 PM

They are 80mm, so just over 3". Will get some pics from a bit further back... 👍

Excuse the height at the rear - it had just come down off the jack and hadnt settled....

Did you have a video of the sound, interested in this.

yeah i would be keen to see if it is a better option than an mpe

Would be nice to hear the sound of it.

Don't bother. I took my car to PCW exhaust mods. Looks standard, so epic. Done.

Did you just modify the back box and both resonator. Had a chat with Paul advised there is no drone which is my only concern!

Do you happen to have a clip on how it sounds?

Zero drone, although i only did the back box. Should have done both as the centre res is so small. Once i removed the exhaust flap i was perfectly happy tbh. It's a lot louder outside of the car than in, good insulation.

No video clip, but i can get one at some point.

Impossible to regret. Do it.
