imho, there are two types of systems that sound AMAZING with rotaries:
Racing beat systems

Magnaflow mufflers
These are especially sexy. I've heard them on 2.5, 3, 3,5 and 4" systems and always sounds amazing!!! (i used to run two of them on my stock turbo exhaust system)

no bullshit guys.....the best exhaust setup for an N/A that i have personally ever heard was mine. my first rx7 had a pacesetter header, 2.5" straight pipe from my local exhaust shop and it had dual Bomz Racing mufflers.....YES BOMZ RACING. the mufflers sounded mean as **** and were the loudest thing on earth at WOT

GP Sports Spec II - Semi Titanium.
Bottlenecks at resonator to 2.75' - rewelded to 3' all the way back.

Took like a year to get. BEST sounding exhaust for turbo 13B.

Deep, and mellow at low RPMs/Cruise.

LOUD , slight tinny sound, due to titanium muffler.

But doesn't sound all raspy and ****.

I feel bad because I drag it around, and sparks everywhere

yeah, you do.
you wouldn't believe how much better my car felt after we put the new exhaust on, it was unbelievable. Aside from swapping from an engine with 82 psi, to one with a whopping 115 psi, the exhaust was the biggest difference I've noticed.

then again, I don't have suspension yet, so maybe that will be a close contender.
(let me know if your selling shocks, springs, sway bar, anything)
