Street cars run more than race cars. I personally have had a header take a crap using wrap, albeit 18 years ago. If you leave it on a daily driver the outside of the bends will end up with a hole in it.

Sounds great for a n/a car. I don't know anymore I just can't appreciate the sound of a na wankel inless it's a bp or pp. After going turbo i just don't love the sound of a na rotary anymore. yours sounds great though. now you just need a big bridge port to give it that intake roar!

onlyonthurs--- thanks. i researched a lot and tried to come up with a design that be exactly what i wanted. i got it!

im going to make a video today from behind the car of it idleing and revving a little.
