I recently installed the 2.5" Pacesetter Monza Cat-Back Exhaust on my 1994 Mazda Protege LX. This system is also rumored to fit the Mercury tracer LXi and the Ford Escort GT. All of these are of the 1.8L DOHC variety. This system helps immensely by reducing back pressure and producing enough of the throaty growl that people are looking for. Even when I rev the car to its 7200 rpm redline this system never sounds like an angry hornet it just does'nt falter. The best sound is down low between 1500 and 4200 rpm. This systems emits a raspy sound that lets others know what you have. I intend to Dyno the car soon in order to give ya'll a good idea of the actual power improvement. Yes I can actually notice the difference down low, the car just starts pulling harder alot sooner. At about 1500 rpm maybe instead of around the 2500 rpm range. I have also noticed a gain in gas mileage of around 4mpg. The ease of installation was what suprised me the most, it hangs directly on the factory rubber hangers and requires only one weld, in the middle of the system where the two pieces of the mid pipe fit together. It is finished with black high heat paint and comes with dual chrome angle cut tips. I purchased this system from Summit Racing. The total price after shipping is $221.94. If you are looking to improve the acceleration of your car or add fuel economy or just add that performance growl or any combination of the three then this cat back is for you.
