The best fit and function is to have the entire exhaust system custom fabricated, including the header. Make sure the race shop knows the requirements of a rotary engine, otherwise the exhaust will crack. A good exhaust will be made out of 321 stainless steel and/or titanium, and will have mandrel bends, cc'd tubing, slip joints, and good hangers. Plan on spending about $3,000.

I've got Racing Beat's road race system on my 90 GTU and I LOVE IT!!!! I also don't have to worry about emission tests either.

AKA Racing Beat true dual system. I've been told by a bunch of people it's rather loud for RB stuff..

I've got a RB Streetable Header, Presilencer and Power Pulse catback and it's awesome. Fairly quiet at idle and cruise, but it's got a great sound when you go WOT. Definitely recommended. ^_^

Its not really loud all the time like a certain vert i have when its running. it deos let itself be known when you step on the gas, but as cruising around at speeds its pretty quiet.
