get a long glass pack,like 36''inches.it will flow freely and will give ur car a nice tone but not too loud depending on what kind of muffler u r running out the back....
as for gas mileage.it shouldnt really make much of a difference as long as u keep up with the plugs and stuff...

rotories already get bad gas mileage. and no it's not out the window. it's about equivalent to removing your rats nest. not really noticeable unless you make your self notice.

I don't recommend it because all the government just spent 600k to crack down on street racers. my friend with florida plates still got pulled over.. and his car is about as loud as a racing beat exhaust on a t2.

Damn keloid you're mean LOL

My old setup was the S#!T I ran a 3" from the headers back, 40" glasspak to a 3" Magnaflow muffler. It was the nicest sounding FC! Not loud and made good power. So if I were you I would invest in that. The muffler was small and I had them put a turn down tip like the RE-A dolphin tail muffler.

BTW: All this was done by Rene's (RMS) dad..... awesome stuff

My Vert *needs* some quieting, especially if there is a crack-down comming.

A 36"-40" glasspack *might* be just the ticket (so to speak).

I thought glasspacks would burn-out with the heat comming from our rotories. Have I been misinformed?

glass packs I heard last around under 1k miles? but that's what I heard. Not experience. Not like they are expensive anyway.

^^ yeah I heard that too. it's not a matter if they're expensive or not, it's the pain in the *** that it would be swapping them out all the time.
