A common practice for turbo motors is running a DUMP pipe with no muffler at all. I did this on my Turbo Supra and the exhaust note was streetable.



Is this the case with a Rotary? Does the Turbocharger quiet the exhaust enough to make it streetable?

Vosko, it didn't seem that loud... maybe I'd deaf. Nice burnout though.

Vosko, you should film a video of someone talking next to your car idling or revving. That way it is a whole lot easier to tell how loud it is. Nice burnout btw.

Well it seems to echo but I thought that was just the location. I don't think one can get a good feel for how loud it is from the vid. Very Nice burnout.



Nice collection of vids. I love the 20B hauling *** down the track... even though the track appears to downhill. That ride sounds sweet.

I just drove mine around the block Saturday night with just the downpipe on and it is LOUD. God is it LOUD.

I've heard open header drag cars that were quieter.
