4" tips....no not rude
 

Hi,

Just had my dualin single out monty delivered. After speaking with Monty himself I ended up getting a 4" tip. Bloody hell it looks big..maybe too big!

I did do a search but could not find any good picks....SOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyone have any good pics of a 4" single installed.

Cheers

Mark....

PS......waiting for SSI from Pelican and then the JE's and Cams.

What does Monty charge for a 4" single outlet muffler as mine needs replacing very soon.

Heres a 4" on mine but its not a Monty.

Are SSI's cheaper from Pelican than you can buy them from in Australia?

3.5" outlet on Mille Miglia....

Does that help?

Buying things not made in Oz is always expensive. I have been quoted between $1.6 (steel not stainless) and $2.2k AUD. After the exchange and shipping Pelican came in at about $1.8k AUD Including both oil pipes.

The Monty cost $850AUD less for the small diameter same for dual out. Give Monty a call he sounds a bit gruff but a nice guy.

Any closer shots........I am concerned that it will look too big! more ricer than Porsche.

Both nice looking cars! Would you go smaller next time?

Heres a close up I just took.

I would go the 4" again.

I don't think it looks ricer at all. If it did I wouldn't have it.

I'm deciding on SSI's at the moment, as I can't buy a new muffler until I reach a decision.

I know someone who has a EC 2nd hand set of SSI's with muffler for $2500, but it still sounds a little expensive for 2nd hand.

I was quoted about $4500 for SSI and muffler sebring brand, but thats more than I want to spend on an exhaust system.

Thanks for the pic......go with monty! Have a look at the prices from various suppliers in the states for the SSI's. I could have got the SSI's a bit cheaper from MM. However the value that I have had from this board is well above the savings that I could make by shopping around too much.

Monty $850
SSI $1800
Total $2,650

I should have put a call out for a group buy and made a better deal for everyone. Maybe I will think of that next time.

Cheers

Nice car Aussie!!

I had the 3" monty, and I liked it.

I was cleaning out some stuff a while back and came across the receipt for the SSI's I bought for my '72, back in the early 90's. $300!

I just took mine back to 2.25-inches -- the old-school look:

I have 3" pipes on my turbo courtesy of GHL. They're actually on their way back to GHL right now...the right side never fit correctly. I also found a crack on one side of the muffler that's got to be fixed.

josh, did the right side hang down 2" further than the left? just wondering if they fixed their jig yet.

It wasn't quite 2 inches...it's closer to an inch. But it also sticks out by about an inch too much. The left side fits perfectly. I bought it through ImagineAuto and they said that they sometimes have to 'persuade' the tips to fit better. Well, I couldn't find any local place that I'd trust -- and I also don't want to void my warranty. So after having it installed for a year, I contacted GHL about the issue. They are going to take care of it for me...maybe I can help them fix their jig. FYI, I also noticed that the muffler is splitting.
