Where to get Eisenmann mufflers

[soarer260@hotmail.com 0]

Hi chaps,

Any idea where I be able to find a Eisemann SS muffler in New Zealand?

I'm after the 'race' version for the E34 540i, PN: B5218.00700

I'm guessing most likely its something you would have to ship in overseas from USA or Europe though?

[isis 16]

have seen them for sale over in OZ.

Though a full system cost about as much as your car!

Did i mention they're loud?

[soarer260@hotmail.com 0]

Yeah, Ive seen a couple of places in OZ with them.

But they are around 3k+ there, from Europe they are more around 1.5k-2k

Excessive overspend really, just too bad the car is worth 1/2 of one!

I have a friend in Europe currently, might pay to see what he can find locally.

Had the exhaust sorted out the other week.

What do you think of the sound?

Will get more, proper clips with better audio that you can also see when I have time.

Sounds nice man, what muffler did you end up getting, if it was the eisenmann where'd you get it

[soarer260@hotmail.com 0]

Haha, sadly no Eisenmann... I priced one up delivered, was looking at $2350, plus any customs charges.

Kinda worth it if I had a M540i E39 or something, but not so worth it when the car is only worth twice as much as the muffler!

Anyway, I got the parts from Chase Distribution, in Penrose, they do mufflers and things of that type.

Went with 2" tube from the headers, an H-pipe, two 2" 14" long Coby resonators, 2" tube to a pair of rectangular box style straight through mufflers with a chamber in the middle.

Goes pretty good, only set me back somewhere around $800.

Some would have gone for 2.5" or 2.25", I probably should have gone for 2.25" but many people suggest that dual 2.0" tubes is ideal for a 4 liter engine of this type if you want to keep low end torque.

sounds nice as man, you need to rev it just a little higher like this vid

[jordyboy2 0]

Now that would have been expensive, sounds good though

Jamez - imagine that car getting crushed lol

My word! Long live petrol...

Yeah I will get another clip tomorrow with the whole rev range.

It does sound quite good up top.

Do you have any pics of the muffler? I'm looking into doing my exhaust over next few weeks.

This sounds awesome.

[Jamez 2147483647]

hahahah the secret is out

[jordyboy2 0]

tis funny ya

[soarer260@hotmail.com 0]

Hahahahaha, I was wondering who would find that.

Don't ask

Sure creaver, They were $250 for the pair, Kinda small mufflers, if they were any bigger I think that would kill the tiny drone I have at 900-1400rpm. But I dooo rather like the sound from 1500-6500 too much to care.

This was the best way to keep a true dual V8 exhaust, as basically I had the mufflers put on their sides and welled together, Fits the cavity with ease. Mr Muffler in Onehunga sorted it out.

I got an H pipe fitted, but when I feel the need, Ill get a Magnaflow genuine X pipe from USA and have that fitted, would be nicer IMO. But for now its pretty good with out spending another $250 for one of those purchased and fitted.

[isis 16]

Are those guys done in Onehunga any good?

Would you recommend them?

cheers

[soarer260@hotmail.com 0]

Mr Muffler?

He is the best, good old Dean. Ive spent thousands over the years at his place.

Always does a good job, everytime!

It's just the one guy, leaves pit stop in the dust.

[Creaver 55]

Yeah, Dean is the man. Where I will be going too. Heard he had a 900hp beast now?

I went there with my previous cars too.

Any pictures of rear tip Mike?

Cheers,

Ian.

[isis 16]

Yep, on the new video Ive quickly made there are two pictures of the quirky side mounted oval mufflers 20 seconds into it.

sooooo keen to hear another video!

Why hears another of how it sounds in the car's boot above the muffler, with a so so sony camera mic.

Might need two small 2.25" mufflers behind the mufflers already there, I dont see resonators doing much, I already have two.

What do you guys think?

Heh, it's "processing"

Also wow, you have a custom '340i'

That would be thrillingly entertaining!

[OLLIE 26]

Sounds great!

i found this video -

the commets are funny -

"It's an E34. It's old.

I know BMW is another word for quality, but they do aswell have their limits!

And old cars should be handled that way... "

[Creaver 55]

Awesome Mike. Do you have part numbers for the rear mufflers etc? I like.

I do indeed Ian

'Muff OVL OC 200x100x360mm ID 63mm

Code RD41266'

I got them for $255.62 including GST.

They do drone a tad only a few 100 rpm between 1k rpm above and bellow, perhaps my resonators should have been longer (14" < 16"), or maybe I need more of them, perhaps two more smaller mufflers in the bent cavity after these mufflers on the back could work....... Another few hundred fitted though, might sound better? IDK!

It's not bad by any means the drone, more so just me and my fanaticalness with things, all I do is keep spending, been to Mr Muffler 4 times to get what I have so far!
