Muffler Deletes?

Not sure if I'm posting in the right section for this so mods feel free to move this if needed. Does anybody sell muffler deletes for an FC exhaust system? Just wondering because I've never seen any before. If not its no big deal, they arent too hard to make. Just trying to take the easy way and buy some lol.

You'd just need two pieces of pipe since the mufflers are at the ends.

Go on, try it. You'll find out why it's a really really really bad idea.

Mazda was using mufflers on their full-on race effort cars long before sound limits became a thing...

Im only asking because im in school for auto, at the end of the year we have a loud exhaust contest and the only rules are there needs to be a full exhaust, so i cant just run headers lol.

As with more other things, you will win so hard that rotaries will be banned from future competition.

If you have no mufflers, that doesn't count as "full exhaust" the way to do it, is headers, straight back into a cherry bomb, but before you put the cherry bomb on, freeze it and whack it with a hammer, than put it on. Just, be courteous, hand everyone ear muffs

I have a 3" exhaust cutout valve about midway back, with a pull cable to open it that I fabbed. Leaks a little when shut but helps to "blend in" with traffic a bit more when I want, then I open it if I feel like "turning up the volume"

Make sure you put a header on it and straight pipes back!

The stock manifold pulse interference takes a LOT of the high frequency pain out of a rotary exhaust.
