Hey, I have an 88 n/a, I just took the stock mufflers off, and replaced them with glasspack mufflers and 3 inch tips. I have a leak by the main cat, so it sounds awful at the front, but sounds good and low toned in the back. I was going to try and order the gasket online somewhere, but then I found a downpipe that replaces all the cats, and goes from the manifold to the Y pipe. Do you think it would make the car sound really really loud or what? Looking for opinions.

on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say it'd be a 36.



At least you don't have headers, then it'd get ridiculous.



When I got my n/a it had headers a presilencer and a single exhaust and it was so loud I refused to drive it until I shut it up some.



It might sound bad now with the exhaust leak, but it will be obnoxious without the cat. Replace it with some type of muffler.

I've heard that the flowasters don't sound good at all on rotaries.



A borla on the other hand would probably do the trick.

yea, Borla is prolly one of the best for rotaries. Flowmaster cant hold up to the heat.
