Exhaust

Hey guys I'm doing a 13-REW swap I'm going to be custom fabing a header probably 3.5" straight pipe, exhaust is going to be really short maybe 3' total will this be an issue also what's this going to sound like. Being new to rotarys I've heard some of these engines sounding like a fart can shitbox. And I don't want that. I like the lumpy almost like an over camed v8 sound. I just wanna make sure it sounds good. Give me your input folks, shoot it straight

Straight piped even on a turbo car will sound exactly like you don't want it to.

Having a decent sounding rotary requires some effort that is of course unless you enjoy high pitched rasp.

Are you going NA, or staying turbo?


Do you want the sound of a bridgeport...?
