Re: Monza Exhaust

i had one years ago. sounded great but once beyond 4000rpm the flow was terribly restrictive. i believe the pipe is either 1 7/8" or 2". ok if you're running a completely stock system, otherwise...

Re: Monza Exhaust

Hi David,
Thanks for the insight on the Monza. I read a post of yours earlier about your exhaust and you mentioned that yours is a little loud...something about twice pipes I believe. I've also read about people using a cherry bomb glass pack before coming out to the muffler...I guess I'm wanting to have my cake and eat it too....is there a set up that is not so restrictive and yet not so loud? I used to have a 77 280 and ran dual 2 1/4" exhaust from the headers all the way to the rear with only Ansa tips.....talk about obnoxious....my wife could hear me coming for about a mile before I got home!Thanks for any light that you can shed on this.

Re: Monza Exhaust

your exhaust should b determined by; mods to the engine, type of driving u do and noise tolerance-both on & off the throttle. my twice pipes were great, on the gas or at idle but at highway speed-ouch [i believe the "extra" noise comes from the fact that my z is forced induction]. i'm going to use the msa mandrel bent 2.5" with a good quality 3" in/out muffler [looking into a flow path-www.macperformance.com part #SS1743]. i may also be adding a small bullet just after the header if i have too much droning.

hope this helps...
