monza is lame. MSA is the way to go. on casting flaw over thousands of great headers sent out isn't bad. if i remember correctly monza isn't much of a performance supporting header or exhaust. i'd stay away from them.

I had no problems with my MSA header. Other than the fact they didn't send the y-pipe at first, and then when they did, it wasn't coated like the header.

NO problems with my msa header. Made a good power gain when I put it on.

Sorry to break it to you fellas but MSA headers are re-branded Monza headers. MSA or Monza. . take your pick. Pay more for the same headers from MSA or a little bit less for a genuine Monza set. Both are pretty crappy but they do the job. I just suggest getting the down pipe cut and tucked in closer to the tranny tunnel. Its going to contact all speed bumps and driveways you cross. Hangs way too low

Very true about hanging low. That **** drives me nuts. Made me break a stud.
