Now that the Rotary Miata had a complete driveline, we focused on the next item on our to-do list: fitting the exhaust. This was a little trickier than modifying an existing MX-5 exhaust. On a stock first-generation Mazda MX-5, the exhaust starts on the driver's side of the engine, however, the exhaust sits on the passenger's side of our 13B …
Ohhhh I wish I had a chance to make a suggestion with respect to a muffler choice.
On my 85 gsl I removed the stock muffler and put an Anza duel tipped "muffler". Similar to those used on older Italian supper cars. It was perfect. At idle and up to about 3.5k rpm it had that British roadster sound. Perfect for around town. As you went above 3.5k it started to transition to that sound only a rotary can make. By 4k you were full on rotary and it went on to redline like this. Mind you it was not that nasty high pitched make your ears bleed sound. But a lower tone that was just spectacular.
I will go see if my google fu can find me the unit I used and post it up.
It was very similar to this unit.
It has a strait through glass pack type muffler in each tip.
And I think they just look cool.
