exhaust
its time to get rid of the stock exhaust. im not very smart when it comes to gas velocity and all that but it dosent seem complicated. the idea is an RB header with a borla xr1 and a presilencer. i have no idea what to put in between, would a straight pipe directly from the header to the muffler with a 2.5" diameter work ? should i go 2 inch? ive heard good things from a magnaflow muffler but im very picky about sound. im on stockport so im not expecting anything crazy a friend with an fc told me flames are possible would that be possible to do safely or should i stay away from flames period?

It works perfectly fine on a stock port engine. There's a noticeable power gain and sound is great. The cost is higher but as rxtasy3 said, its a one and done thing. No searching for parts or gaskets, fitment is great and it will hold up. Some other exhaust brands do not hold up well under the heat from the rotary's exhaust temps.

I zoomed into the lower left corner of the photo that raven12aFB posted .. and it definitely looks like the header is wrapped.
For a stock or lightly modified 12A .. I would recommend a 2.0" exhaust system. A 2.5" exhaust can support upwards of 400hp and may be a bit overkill.

Only the 79 and 80 came with a thermal reactor. You car being an 85 will have a standard exhaust manifold. Removing the converters and keeping the stock muffler will make the car quite a bit louder. Tolerable but slightly raspy. My recommendation is still for the RB system. If I could post a sound clip of my car I would. I think you'd like it!
