cheap toy racer exhaust

I recently bought my first RX7 (250$ 84 12A 5sp) Started it for the first time in 5+ years. After sitting outside in the lovely WA State weather on a chicken farm. Lets just say, the body has seen better days and the rats have made a nice home for themselfs in the interior. So i figure I'll try turning it into a cheap toy racer (rallyx & autox). Since money is kinda tight and the car is to far gone to return to the road (rust & trash interior). At least this way it will live it's last glory days putting a big shit eating grin on my face.

Only problem is the exhaust is toast. Witch means i wont be passing any SCCA tech inspection.

I've read a lot of threads about exhaust, but they all seem to be the same. Racing beats exhaust, witch is not cheap. Id like as cheap as possible. All it needs to do is pass tech, noise level rules and not make my ears bleed.

I don't need to worry about emissions laws. So i don't need a cat.

I was thinking of just doing a cherry bomb ol' skool (louvered not glasspacked) to some cheap ebay turbo muffler, then running the tip out the side before the rear tire.

would this be ok, Or would i find myself screwed come tech inspection?
