I'm planning on constructing a shield for the CC which
will be built into the rear grille/pan and underbody.

Today was the first day I took the car out with the
new unit, I couldn't believe how the idle was
smoother, and the exhaust has a nice deep purr to it
which is infinitely better than the old grumble.  As I
said, the exhaust appears to be MUCH cleaner, the
house doesn't stink when I put the car into the
garage.  My 69 doesn't have the smog stuff though;
someone took it off a long time ago.

The car still has plenty of pep, she takes off smooth
as butter off the line, no pinging, hesitation, etc. 
The exhaust also seems quieter, less boom on
acceleration.

Unfortunately Monzas didn't have a temp gauge option,
but I'm tempted to buy an aftermarket oil temperature
gauge;  isn't oil temperature an indication of engine
temperature?

Any suggestions for an oil temp/pressure gauge?  Is
that easy to install on a 110 engine?

Thanks folks...Bill Hershkowitz 69 Monza Coupe 110 PG
