For something loud you could just get some fart cannon ebay exhausts.. Glasspacks will disintegrate on a rotary engine.

if you're looking for something with a muffler, very decently priced and SS, go with corksport. Loud as hell, and probably the cheapest pre-made exhaust system for the FC

I hope you're not planning on driving that on the road, loud is cool at first but eventually you get tired of getting pulled over and getting tickets.

Corksport

If you want it to be loud and still sound good i'd say go corksport. Is it NA, if so put that with a racing beat header/presilencer combo and you'll be loud enough

Even if you're not getting pulled over for it being loud, you'll likely get tired of not being able to ever talk to a passenger except when sitting at stop lights, and your ears could even start to hurt. I ran my TII with just a downpipe for about a month, and while I was shocked that I never got pulled over, my ears were SO relieved when I was finally able to finish the exhaust and people started riding with me again. An NA with open headers is even more deafening (I know, this wouldn't be your case), I don't want to guess how much that would hurt to hear on the daily commute.

Not sure how a T2 sounds with a full open exhaust, but an n/a sounds like poo! Mine didn't even have a header, but it was still loud as ***** and not too great sounding with a 2.25" mani back straight pipe to a Magnaflow can. Look into the Racing Beat full system, they're loud enough opened up, but sound beautiful too.

Glass packs will last you about the time it took you to install them.The Packing gets burnt out from the High exhaust temps..you want loud,and cheap..SSAutoChrome..you want GOOD,and reliable,Corksport,Racing Beat,apex Dual N1's...(racing beat Rev II on a N/A is real NICE..you can hear Me coming for a MILE.)

CORKSPORT ***** loud as ****. Idk bout the turbo IIs, but in my NA i had a RB header to Bonez high flow cat to CS single catback no silencer. Got pulled over every 5 minutes. And when I passed harleys, and i was on the highway like 4 car lengths back at WOT theyd turn around to see WTF was louder than their bike.

RB headers, presilencer and single Corksport on the track car. I have to run with the silencer insert in order to just pass sound levels at the track (or just to hear myself think, for that matter). For that reason I'll be looking for a new muffler solution soon. Too loud and the silencer robs power.

But if you still have your cat and stock manifold, the Corksport is a good deal.
