Try the Racing Beat duals. Nice and quiet when you're at part throttle, but a great sound when you open'er up.

Agreed

Who wants to host sound clips of the Powertone exhaust with and without Edelbrock Tru-Flow for a resonated MP?

if the ferrari engine out of a '01 360 Modena had over 50k, it had better have been taken care of very carefully... and it's due in 10k miles for the major service... something like $10k, right?

That sounds like a lot of miles on a 3 year old car in general, forget about the Ferrari...

I would be surprised if you could get the engine for that cheap -- $15k....

The engine of a rotary is totally different than the ones of pistion engines.... so you will never get the exactly same sound or even close to it.... However, there is definetaly a distinctive rotary engine sound that no other piston engines can imitate.... and I would use that as an advantage.... rotary's do sound real nice when you have the right exhaust ya know.

But people still love 'em because they're relatively rare, very fast, and look great. Mmmmm.
