Mark,
I have a Monza style exhaust system on my TR4 (which I realize has a
different exhaust system than your TR4A). I thought I'd share my
experience with the sound level issue though... When I first acquired
the car, I thought the system was too loud; however, after a while
it's kind of grown on me. I do make sure I keep the rpms down in my
neighborhood. :)
As far as quality... I don't think the Monza systems have a very long
life expectancy. Mine could certainly use replacing (I don't have any
idea how long it's been on the car). It was an ugly rusty mess when I
acquired the car. I took it off and stripped all the rust off and
re-painted it with high-temp black and "chrome" paint. That's held up
quite nicely so far.
