I had a Bell exhaust and swapped it for Kirk Headers and a Monza exhaust.
It's definitely the rowdiest sounding street Healey system - because of its
single oval pipe through the muffler, it's more like a Jag in sound. It's
pretty loud, but not as loud as the Stebro side pipes.

 

I think the 1-7/8" pipes all the way back make it loud as well as powerful.

 

I have the newer model Monza with the non-muffling tips - I believe the ones
shown on Eric's site have the muffling Ansa-style tips.
