If your car is turbo its not too bad. I ran 3inch racing beat downpipe to hollow cat to 2 1/2 inch duals and unless it was wide open it wasn't too bad and it sounded awesome when it was. You might not want the attention though depending on the laws and enforcement of such where your from.
if your rex is n/a fuggitabowdit it's ridiculous!

I'm running a Racingbeat header into a 3" straightpipe into some sort of borla can.
sounds pretty awesome and yes, it's loud, but not stupid loud.
I can drive without wanting to kill myself.
I'm thinking of making some sort of silencer for the tip, though, or something, because I hate getting exhaust tickets. I hope that won't kill the tone. I'm not planning on driving this car on the street too much anyways.

All this talk of straight pipes...have you ever seriously heard a rotary engine with straight pipes before??? Trust me, you WON'T like it for more than 5 minutes. It'll sound cool when you first put it on, but it'll very quickly loose the cool factor when you try to drive the car (yes it will be stoopid fast, but that's not everything), not to mention when you wanna think or go by a cop, etc.
It's just not a smart thing...take the small hit that you get with some pre silencers or at least something in there.

My car has an RB header, test pipe and corksport 3" catback. Its loud as ****, no, in fact, its louder than ****. Ive had it setup like this for about 8 months and I think it's time for me to get a pre-silencer.

I ran off the manifold only for like 3 months on my old 7. Its loud but sounds freaking sweet. No cop problems, not even driving right next to one. And the car was stripped. Had a dash and drivers seat.
