It's probably because of the deterioration of fiberglass packing in the muffler due to high temps produced by the rotary engine. Can you give us a soundclip of it? I put a racing beat look-alike muffler on my FB and it embarrasses v8s. It is so loud to the point that I can't hear the radio even at full volume.

love the braaaap
Glasspacks tend to be loud on any engine. I tried one on my V6 Buick LeSabre and I would have been stoped by the police at least a few times it was so loud. My one friend with a 1983 Mercury Capri with a modded 302 with dual exhaust uses two cherry bombs. One on each side. Its loud, but my RX-7 will still be louder even with a 24" long cherry bomb and 18" long Magnaflow muffler. But I have a 3" exhaust from the cherry bomb back and stock exhaust manifold before cherry bomb. When I started my car for the first time, I had ear plugs in it was so loud. But then again, I was reving it to 7 grand to keep it running. wouldn't idle at all.

My car is loud enough with the RB header/presilencer into the stock canister, I don't really want to know how loud it would be with a cherry bomb or cheapo 'turbo' muffler.
