I would not use a glasspack on a rotary. Save your money & buy or have made a decent exhaust. It's okay to skimp here & there, but I would not suggest all out budget cut.

First and foremost, you should ck your local smog issues and many muffler places will not modify an existing cat set-ups due to legality issues.

Remember, you're running n/a and you need some sort of backpressure. My recommendation, especially if you're going to go single, is to go with a quality chambered muffler and skimp the rest a bit.

Don't forget that an uncorked NA rotary will be loud & annoying. That will definitely get you some unwanted attention.
