Just got my Victoria British RX7 catalog. Has anyone tried their Monza exhaust for the 2nd gen? At $270. the price is right and from the pics. it looks good. What about sound and how long did it last?

In the past I've bought lots of stuff from this company for MGs I've owned, and their prices were the best I could find.

The magazine claims 9 hp for the headers, 9 or so for the exhaust, only 18 hp. Go with something more recognized, RB or HKS or the mazdatrix system. It advertises like a 30% increase. If you start with an 89+ with a stock 160 hp, after the exhaust that's like 208 hp https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png that's good stuff.

The Mazdatrix system is $1400.

Yeah, the Dynomax is probably around $300 at Summit. Mazdatrix has it for $394.50, so maybe a little more. I never bought the Pacesetter exhaust, but it was on a car that I bought for parts. It looked ok, but I don't know how it did performace-wise.

I would also go with RB stuff, but the nice thing about the Pacesetter header--for most people--is that it bolts up to the stock converter. It's not too hard to make the RB header bolt up, but most people don't want to make an extra pipe.
