I can answer the first. Magna flow. Awesome sounding muffler.

Regarding the fart pipe/fart can, these tend to sound awful on NA rotarys and are very, very loud.

Your oil cooler will be in one of two places:

1. Front of the car, in front of the rad, at the bottom of the opening.

2. If you have a later 12A 1st gen, it will be an oil to water "bee hive" cooler under the oil filter.

Cool ill be looking for it.Thank you!

Supertraps will be stupid loud and make the car sound like a chainsaw on crack. :)

Rotary exhaust systems need thick walled tubing, a good resonator, and plenty of muffler.

If you're talking a straight through exhaust with no silencers between the engine and rear muffler, its going to be "way too loud" as you put it. If you're wondering how loud the car can get, unbolt your stock catback from your stock cats and drive around town a little bit. It should be pretty loud, but not anywhere near if you straight piped the cats and went to a straight through muffler.

Yep, what he said. You're going to need some type of resonator, preferably two. They really don't impact flow negatively so I don't see any reason not to run one. Just make sure to get a high quality stainless packed resonator because glass packs will only last minutes.

The rotary engine is the most efficient way of converting fuel into noise ever devised.
