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!

thats understandable. i too LOVE the sound of a turbo wankel. hear that turbo whinning and the engine at high rpms..mmmm. some day ill be able to enjoy that. i have a SP 13b sitting next to that car in my SA. soon theyre be videos of it on here as well. but the exhaust on that car was put on my the previous owner for performance in mind only, not sound. so its loud! i have a dellorto 48 going on this car withing a couple weeks. that should sound pretty good also.

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.

What do you have for induction, nikki? When you get rid of the nikki it changes the sound so much too.
