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.

monza aka pacesetter :throwupen:

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.

nine times out of ten you get what you pay for https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...lookaround.gif

Yeah, but for the money the Pacesetter stuff isn't bad.

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.

my pacesetter header on my GTU was ok but the racing beat was about 2 billion times better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png if i did it over i would go with all racing beat https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

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.

I had the monza pacesetter exhaust on my 86. No ****, it only lasted about 9 months before the rust ate through to the point of holes and cracks around virtually every weld.



I changed it out then with a dynomax for like $300 and a Walker high flow cat, it ran great and the rust was minimal after a year.



:monkeypiss: pacesetter

I have a pacesetter. It sounds nice and no rust after 2 years. Would have went with a different one but I didn't know about rotarys then. I would go with the corksport one now.

As for headers, I don't have one but am thinking about doing it. Is there a noticable gain? Like worth the money gain? Also what kinda custom work is needed for the RB header cause that will be the one I buy.



PS. I could be mistaken but Monza, Pacesetter and Dynomax all come from the same factory just with different names.

I have a pacesetter header and cat back on my Jeep and they work just fine. I've had the cat back on for a couple of years and the header on for about 6 months. You pretty much get what you pay for. Unless the header is ceramic coated or stainless it will rust. The "heat resistant" black paint that they have burned off in about 30 minutes on mine. Although its not pretty it gave me a little more power, good sound and people don't see it anyways. I here so much good stuff about racing beat I don't think you could go wrong with their stuff. Or Mazdatrix :smilewinkgrin:

What do you plan on doing? Using your stock cat? Or a high flow cat? Mazdatrix sells the header and cat that will bolt up to a stock Y pipe (Or your cat back).

And it is worth the $. I don't know what kind of hp gain though.

I have an aftermarket cat on there now. The pipe before the cat was made. I have the monza exhaust system on there now but might go with two Corksport mufflers and custom y pipe. I would want the header to bolt up to the cat, although I will be removing the cat eventually.
