I have been running the Dansk sport muffler for a while now and have been pretty happy with it. It has a nice idle note and ZERO drone, but lately I have been wanting something with a little more volume and bite. So when I came across a good deal on a Monty MRSN (GT3 style) muffler I decided to take a chance and pick it up. I say “take a chance” as I could find no videos or sound clips of what this model of Monty sounds like. However, I have really liked every Monty I’ve owned and heard; they generally have a fantastic deep tone, great build quality, make good power, and have little to no drone. So I was willing to roll the dice.

The new muffler.



Out of curiosity I weighed it and found it surprisingly light at just over 16 lbs.



For comparison the Dansk sport was almost 50% heavier at just under 24 lbs.



Here it is mounted up without the lower valance. I’m going to live with it for a bit and make sure it’s a keeper before to cut the valance to accommodate it. It’s not rubbing on the underside of the bumper, but it’s awfully close. I might need to space it down a little bit. We’ll see.



I haven’t been able to drive with it much yet, but initial thoughts are that it has strong idle tone: deep with a slightly sharp edge to it. It is louder than the Dansk, but nowhere near being too loud. The note gets higher pitched with RPM, transitioning from growl to wail. So far, big thumbs up!
