      Do you have any videos? I'd like to hear what your exhaust sounds like. Also any pics of the exhaust? I'd like to do something like yours to my regal. Thanks

      If you want to save those old pads you can run them along cement to get the top layer of glaze out. Save you a few dollars :D

      This video is from a long long long time ago...but I had the same mufflers with the full exhaust exiting out the back. It sounds better now!!

      When you say that you used grease here and there what kind did you use? I have some syn Caliper Grease that isn't supposed to melt from heat and migrate to places that you wouldn't want grease.
      Also, I used to wrench on School Buses and all the quick start/stops are pretty hard on brakes too. We fought squealing all the time and there is a product for where the piston meets the pad basically called Anti Squeal or Disc Brake Quiet, what I have is orange. I have seen a very similar blue product in a little tear-off tube come in replacement pad boxes too.
      It is like a thinner silicone that dampens the high frequency vibration that we hear as a squeal.
      Of course, some aggressive race pads are loud, but shouldn't really squeal and glaze but I'm sure you know that.

      I love that exhaust. Wonder If I could get away with it? Not sure it would pass inspection.

      Wow! A vid response even!

      I guess I must have missed that response. That caught me by surprise to say the least.

      I am glad you found a fix. We did have to let Disc Brake Quiet "set up"for awhile as you mentioned; mostly so some material was there to dampen. Otherwise it didn't stay on the mating surfaces where needed after assembly.

      That tub of synth grease will last you a loooooooooooong time.
      B-)

      Thanks for the compliments buddy!! Mikes Montes or Dixie Monte Carlo will most likely have whatever you need. The website www.montecarloss.com also has a classified section where stuff is for sale all the time. Def check that site out.
