About 12 years ago I had a Monza system that was too loud. I then had a
shop
use the Monza exhaust pipes and replace the Monza mufflers with California
Turbo Mufflers,
that system was pretty quiet. I replaced that exhaust system, because I
plan to have the cylinder head
reworked to a 10:1 compression with the valves reworked to a three angle
cut. I believe I had the
head ported when I had the block rebuild back in 1985. Any advice on the
minimum work I should have
performed on the cylinder head to increase low and mid HP and torque? I
hope to install a
fuel injection system some time in the future.
As to the loudness of the Monza System, that was 12 years ago, but I do
remember that it was loud.
The new system emits a deep sound that I like around town. But, like I
said in my previous message, the sound
on a long trip may get to you.
