and while looking around i saw a trial of flames coming out of a truck
i was like WTF lol
so i speed up and got behind it , and i saw ROTARY POWER LOL

so i busted out the camera and start recoreding
( the quality is pretty bad but bare with me here , i was driving by my self and recoreding lol )

and omg my camera almost fell out the window at one point

Rotary power

Your video reminded me of the Blair Witch Project, it kinda got me dizzy LOL. Loved the flames nonetheless! This was at SS this year. It belongs to a guy named Albert, I don't think he's on here. I'll let him know though. Believe it or not, this is his daily driver and he commutes 120 miles a day in it. Yes, his exhaust is deafening! It sounds sick though!

Here's a couple pics.:

What exhaust? If this is the same truck that I saw at SS, he had a straight pipe from the header back,no resenator and no muffler. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten pulled over by a cop yet for the noise.

Who cares, it still sounds sick and sicker with flames shooting from it!

I guess when you're an old fart like me, extremely loud exhaust on an everyday driver just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I would say 99.9999% of running open headers and no mufflers make less power than a nice full length muffler exhaust system anyway, so why the headaches and worries.

I hear you Jay. I daily drive my repu and although my exhaust noise is decent (not obnoxiously loud), it becomes irritating after a while, but you still gotta love the sound of that screaming rotary.

Nice video. Thats one thing I will not miss is the loud sound from my rotary. Too many noise pollution tickets. Turbo quiet it down pretty good under 3000 rpm or cruising speed. I like the Racing Beat pre-silencer + Apexi WS2 Universal muffler combo. It does scream when I punch it. Rotary Rocket!!!
