Hey Mark;
I'm working with Garrett, trying to figure out the best way to go.  Currently configuring the manifolding, in and out.  And as I said, waiting for the Welder guy to do his magic, and make it pretty.  Thanks for the info.

Greg,
I installed a temporary door seal.  I need to get the inflatable seal ordered and installed.  That should make a big difference. 
 
No, I initially was going to turbo, but changed my mind.  I figured that I could always add it later.  Which make/model turbo are you using?  The turbo will definitely help with the exhaust noise.
 
Sound proofing came from ACS.  I ordered a variety of thicknesses from 1/4" to 3/4".  The thicker stuff was used under the floorboards and on firewall.  It really isn't very heavy for the comfort it provides.  The rotary's exhaust tone, as heard through the ANR headset, is very similar to an outboard motor.  Now imagine listening to the drone of an outboard motor for hour after hour.  If you don't do it for yourself, do it for your pax. 
 
Mark
