12a exhaust setup?
hi, i am doing up my 12a and am to the point of putting the exhaust on. I got a custom made stainless steel header and am planning to run 1, 3" exhaust pipe right to the back. Heres my question:
what would be the best type of muffler to put on if i want it too be kind of loud but more when i open the throttle up. And to also give it a nice sound with the most horsepower possible?

The reason you don't wanna go too large a diameter is because you start to lose exhaust gas velocity.

Oh....high velosity, low back pressure. Alright, i just remembered reading something about how ppl were surrprised that the rotary didn't like completely open exhaust, like the only header set up. i don't remember where that came from, but i might go back and search...I was guessing that it was because of pressure....

If you had a street ported 12a with the exhuast ports bored nice and big, what would be the best diameter for street racing (stop lights and other such instances) I won''t be going down to the track alot, and this will remain my daily driver, but as I am over hauling the engine i figure meh, why not...
so whatcha thing, would 2 1/2" do it or should i go 3"?
cheers'

Physically speaking, if you have different pipe sizes, the velocity of the air will change when moving from one medium to the next. The pressure will also fluctuate, so I'd just stay with the same diameter pipe throughout.

Buck,
If you don't put a presilencer on your system, you are going to find out what loud is. You will be getting regular visits from your local constable on patrol. Or maybe the mounties where you are......ha ha.
Seriously, you will not want a system without a presilencer or a cat if you are going to use the car on the street.

I had the same setup as error402 when I first got my headers...it lasted for about five hours of driving before the red and blue lights showed up in my rearview. It's the sweetest sound in the world when you're racing around the back roads with the pedal kissing the metal, but it's just damn annoying in town.
