Will Ansa start making mufflers for other cars, too? Who's gonna be the
supplier?

I bought a stock muffler from Midas for my TR6 about 10 years ago, and it
was fine (and cheap - with lifetime warranty!). But I'd like to find a
"real" Ansa system for my big Healey.

It currently has Monza, which (surprise) is too loud.

I'd wait a while and go with the Ansa System. I understand they will be back
in production by this summer. They are inexpensive , last forever and I
think  they have a great sound, not nearly as loud as the Monzas.

Va.  it was about 300.00 (minus the header)  I was disappointed to discover
that while the quality was good, the fit was easy, the mufflers are just
plain straight-through glass packs.  They have a nice resonance at idle,
sound good over 3000 rpm, but the sound is obnoxious under load around
2000-3000 rpms.  If I were to replace this, I'd look at the Bell, or go to
stock system in stainless
