A full-length presilencer does the most as far as eliminating the tinny tone, and produces a nice deeper tone. A header and straight pipe to muffler will be LOUD, and not have the pleasant tone you are looking for.

It's funny that you say ricey metallic sound. Most of the ricers out here have those stupid fart cans that makes the car sound like it is choking on its own exhaust but hey, at least they get that deeper tone. Remember, exhaust notes do not equate to performance! Just listen to a V12 ferrari which has a nice high pitched whine to it.

Actually, ricer mufflers don't sound too bad on a rotary. Mine only has a 3.5'' tip, so it's not a complete fart can, but it sounds decent.

The quality sucks, and my car backfires a lot, but you can hear how it sounds. My car has the stock manifold, gutted cats and a full stainless straight through muffler on the back.
