Fit well, and are very quiet with my setup, wouldn't know about a rotary.

big mufflers
my advise is if you want a bigger muffler, or the look of it buy an oval style muffler. on my car i used an apexi WS II muffler and it was huge. it taps the heat shield sometimes, and the length the tip protrudes needs to be adjusted. remember to measure before you buy. the overall length is from inlet tip to outlet tip, and you can only trim a little off the inlet. overall i like the muffler because it's quiet and it looks nice, but was a pain to fit. the opening for the mufflers on the car is very oval, there's lots of space top to bottom but not side to side or front to back. which means you need something pretty short in overall length, narrow and tall.

Those mufflers might fit, but it will be tight.
I use oval mufflers, though I doubt they are 18" wide:
I did have to bend the heat shields a little.
Everything fits, as long as you are willing to accommodate it.

the mufflers i linked are 18" in total length and 10" wide, mind measuring the width of your muffler to give me an idea?

Apexi WS II- 15" length x 9.6" width x 6.1" height
Megan OE-T- 18" length x 10" width x 6.5" height

My car is at my shop right now and I'm at home. Next time I am there (tomorrow...) I will measure if I remember. 10" wide is not an issue for sure, and I highly doubt 18" long is either. Mine must be at least 18" long. There is quite a lot of space in the FC muffler area.
