monza is lame. MSA is the way to go. on casting flaw over thousands of great headers sent out isn't bad. if i remember correctly monza isn't much of a performance supporting header or exhaust. i'd stay away from them.

I had no problems with my MSA header. Other than the fact they didn't send the y-pipe at first, and then when they did, it wasn't coated like the header.

NO problems with my msa header. Made a good power gain when I put it on.

Sorry to break it to you fellas but MSA headers are re-branded Monza headers. MSA or Monza. . take your pick. Pay more for the same headers from MSA or a little bit less for a genuine Monza set. Both are pretty crappy but they do the job. I just suggest getting the down pipe cut and tucked in closer to the tranny tunnel. Its going to contact all speed bumps and driveways you cross. Hangs way too low
