Most silent exhaust for a single turbo FD?
I have some better pics in my build thread, but here's one showing the tip.
You can kind of see in the picture how it has an inner tip and an outer tip. That's what I was referring to for the "double sleeved" version (you can also see the double sleeve in the pics of the 80mm version you posted). I believe this version is closer to the 90sub version in diameter. I think if you would be going with the 80mm version, the sound would be slightly less than what I have. I would also imagine the twin dolphin tip version would be even a bit quieter than the single tip. I have no evidence to back this up, just my assumption.
Unfortunately, at my last track session, I didn't really know anyone else there, so I had no friends to stay back an record any audio of the car on-track at full song. Bummer, cause I really would have liked to hear what it sounds like...but could have also helped you in this situation.
This has something to do with the low pressure behind the car allowing the exhaust to creep up through the sunroof when you have it open. Nothing special about the car, HKS hi power catback, stock twins etc. Had the same issue with a 2G eclipse, S13 and my FCs over the years. When the sunroof is stilted up, it must create some sort of low pressure to let this happen. Didn't happen if the sunroof was closed so it is 100% tied to that. People still complain about my current FD which is essentially stock. Still stock cat and air pump and running great. Its just something we have to deal with. Mine even stinks up the garage more than a standard piston engine when I have it running and again, totally stock emissions wise.
This is kinda true even just starting and running in the garage actually.
I just started tuning my huge streetport single turbo FD on id1050xds pri w/ elite on NSP. Ported polished XS LIM and Turblown UIM.
Almost zero stink, not much added fuel for cold start, can idle surprisingly close to stoich.
Much cleaner running than my old tuned single turbo FC with denso 720cc and E6k.

Mine is the titanium version. Don't worry, I got it used many many years ago, and got it for very cheap

I think I'll probably go for the Dolpin twin tip then, just need to get a bit of money in the bank first 
Just throwing this out there: A well tuned street FD using a modern ECU, should not make your clothes stink even without a cat. These days relatively lean idle AFRs as well as proper stoich cruise AFRs using closed loop ignition and fueling strategies to combat the finnicky low torque/partial throttle and thirsty behavior of the rotary make for a pretty easy to live with car.
Making power and driving OK doesn't necessarily mean a car is tuned 'well' for street use.

Also, I went to the track yesterday, and the photographer took a beautiful one of my car flaming, do you still flame wit cats?

Hello,
I finally received my Re-Amemiya Dolphin exhaust, very well made, a beautiful piece, it was worth the wait.
It's basically night & day compared to before, we get to hear the rotary engine much better, and it's not droning anymore, very pleasant. I didn't fully push it, but when I did a bit, it's still definitely lively, but not too much.

Thanks again for the advice!

I'll do a proper video at some point, on the nearby winding roads, and then on the track 
In the meantime, I can tell you that I have a custom down pipe since the car is running a single turbo. The mid pipe is from racing beat.
Edit: I bought it from RHD Japan, and yes, even for us Europeans, I got 300€ of tariffs...
