Joe, I second the motion!!!!  I love the sound of my Monza exhaust.  

It's better than music on the NYS Thruway at 70+ (won't say how much +
though).

Plus it causes people to notice that you are right next to them.  Wonder
how many times I've avoided a potential swerve-to-avoid-an-idiot move
because of the Monza sound?  A great safety feature!!!  ;-}
