Direnza downpipes

[Richie-XR2]

Does anyone have any experience of direnza downpipe/decats? I bid on one thinking it was a toyosports one.

It looks ok but allegedly it fits the standard exhaust however it's 2.5" and not 2.25", it looked like it came with a reducer but it's just a sleeve.

I'm not entirely sure of the best way to join the two different diameter pipes.

Not sure how to edit the last post on my phone but this is the same downpipe.

Looks small and the gasket will be useless... use an OE gasket if you decide to go for that...

Well it's quite a bit bigger than the standard pipe, especially just after the turbo flange. Yeah the gasket is garbage.

Was bought in a bit of a rush due to my standard pipe starting to blow.

A straw is bigger than the std downpipe

For the money I doubt its any better or worse than any other of the cheaper K03 downpipes and has got to be better than a blowing one...

Yeah it can't be worse than a blowing standard one. I did buy an aftermarket standard one first but took it back when I saw how restrictive it is and that I could get a bigger diameter one with no cat for less money. I was going to gut the cat anyway.
