gonzo has been around for ages, his mufflers are on a lot of the tuffest street cars around, and are used exclusively by 99% of the v8 supercar teams not to mention heaps of others. i run a pair of his 3.5" on my own car. he advertises in the willowbank free newspaper. i think that people that dont know what there talking about should keep quiet. his mufflers are worth every cent.

I run a Gonzo Spiral Resonator on my car, it speeds up the Exhaust flow. I also think no one here know's much at all. Gonzo Race pipes are a very respectable company

As stated Gonzo has been around for years, had one of his mufflers on one of my cars at one stage, perhaps the best muffler Ive ever heard. Hes located over Capalaba way from memory..........

I had 4 INCH GONZOS spiral muffler on my vl, and I lost 90 hp atw on low boost, It was about $300. I think He's more the man for v8 or aspirated cars.

I spent $350 on a "3A" straight through oval stainless muffler for my old Lancer and the whole exhaust cos me $1050. Sounds like I would have been better off and it would have cost just as much to get one of these systems done by Gonzo so I am going to just say you're a cheap arse.

thats in mild steel

I see, but who needs a blingin' exhaust? For the record, the 3A muffler degraded within 6 months and started sounding exactly like I didn't want it to, tinny shitty sound - but that was only on the first time I booted it on a drive. IBLancerExhaustComments

10kw??? on what car?? a muffler will not add 10kw let alone to any car it is bolted to - either he is talking a full exhaust from engine back or its BS!

It's called Rice Power. Just add a few Type R and VTEC stickers and you're good to go.

Maybe they put the most restrictive muffler on a big system, then went and chucked this other muffler on and OMG 10kw!11one
