Go to the Perfect Run website . There's plenty of exhaust etc. there, or you could do what I did and get a custom exhaust fitted.

What size piping did you use? I was looking to get 3.5 or 4". That website you posted didnt have any exhaust btw. But the parts it did have were nice

Yo sc400_408, doesn't the JIC hang down very low? Do you have pics of your setup and what size piping did you use?

thanx,
dg

Nah, don't hang low at all. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow. Check out the gallery, theres some pic of sc w/ jic setup. It's the whole exhaust system. I believe its like 2 3/4.

mine is low- but doesnt hang low- I do scrape it from time to time though... since the car is lowered and the lowest part of the car is the exhaust... anyways- gotTRD, let me look in my hyperrev- I know I have seen some pimp looking single exit systems, I bet that would look great on your car- and differentiate it from any other SC in our area.

Yea, I want to convert it to single. But then with the 1JZ in there I think it would have to get the exhaust imported. I just dont know who makes one the way i want

Its got to be imported anyways (probably) as far as exhaust being different between the 1JZ and the other engines...anyhting that can be installed on a SC300 (with the 2jz-GE) can be installed on a SC with the 1JZ...- the only time there are issues is when you are installing a cat back that is meant for a SC3 or 2.5 Soarer on to a 4.0 Liter SC

Chino,

Yeah I didn't notice that they took their exhausts off their website? Anyway, I'm running 3" all the way from the cat, plus a new cat converter, twin resonators and twin hi-flow mufflers. I'm getting a 3" front pipe made up but I haven't had it fitted or anything like that yet because I'm still tossing up the idea of replacing the factory dumps off the turbos with a hi-flowing design (I'm getting mixed messages/experiences from other people with them).


Cheers

Jose

Oh and if you're thinking about going single tip, I'd highly suggest the HKS Super Drager exhaust... they look HOT! But I don't know what twin Dragers would look like.

Cheers

Im just talking about from the cat back.- my exhaust for example is built for the JZZ30- but will bolt right up to a SC300, and with a tad of modification it will bolt up to a SC400.
