Location of actuators? Would there be a BIG notice? My car gets to redline without any problems at all, it doesn't strain or hesitate or anything.

I have no radio either. I actually got in touch with corksport and they are shipping the header back exhaust system after all. Still picking up the HKS exhaust though for my future turbo app, or resale. Can't wait to just drive my car when I get home. lol

my 87 na was open header no exhaust and was so loud you had to scream at the person next to you just to talk to them. at idle
at 3000rpm the hat on my head was vibrating like i had two 15's.
i loved the way it sounded but the cops sure didnt.

funny thing when you would drive by people they would look at you and cover there ears.lol

haha i drove mine for 2 days right off the presilencer... i know exactly what you mean. She was settin off car alarms

I had RB headers feeding through a straight pipe to dual Dynaflow mufflers and with a stock port, it wasn't loud at all.

With the streetported 4-port, I had to add a presilencer.

If the headers are really thin, you will get a loud exhaust, thick headers are your friend.

where a rotary's exhaust noise is concerned, thick pipes in general are your friend.

Alright, i'll check out my aux ports tomorrow then.

If i DO have an exhaust leak at my headers will replacing with RB headers make it sound better? or will it just be louder?

yeah, I edited it to reflect right info. I wonder how the RB rotary mufflers sound on open pipes.

Also, the HKS catback I have doesn't shoot flames...Just thought I'd throw that out there. It really makes the NA quieter than open pipes but no fire.

NYsNumba1Man · 08-13-2010, 12:20 AM

^^Same. I get backfire but no flames......

Phoenix7 · 08-13-2010, 12:32 AM

Here's the HKS 52mm catback:

^^Please ignore my commentary and listen to the sounds around 15 seconds in...that's as loud as the car was. I don't have any other sound clips but I'll make sure to get some once I finish installing the new motor.

Phoenix7 · 08-13-2010, 02:31 AM

it sounds like sex on wheels for about 10 minutes...then the drone at highway speeds vibrates the whole car and the insides of your head. Even at LOW RPMs the car was loud.
