I'm running a Monza exhaust on my Honda CRX (that's what JC Whitney
sells btw, for the Spitfire I believe as well). Had it less then a
year. The main pipes are rusting with enthusiasm. The factory paint
would rub off in my hands, and the new high temp paint just won't
stick. Fit was poor, but tollerable, as long as I am willing to
tollerate some flow loss because of flanges not matching up well. The
sound is pretty nice, but this is on a Honda, and a completely different
muffler design then what would be under a Spitfire (3 pipes on one side,
2 on the other!).
All that kinda wains though, since I bought the whole thing for about
$120. Yea, it's somewhat cheesy, probably won't last long. But I can
buy 3-5 of them for the price of one really good system.
