well there is no pic (no ebay links allowed IIRC), but keep in mind you can use the MK4 Supra exhausts with a 6'' extension if you dont mind going with a single exit.

There are quite a few threads of custom exhaust setups. One of my favorite is this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...m-exhaust.html

You can attach pictures by uploading it under advanced when you create or post reply. Or simply upload it to your photobucket then copy/paste the link and use that little icon with the mountain background next to "quotes"

I had my exhaust dual 3'' from a muffler shop, I just told them to keep the amount of bends and curves to a minimum and they did an excellent job, and just paired the 3'' pipes with flea-bay mufflers..

but got bored with it, went na-t and converted to a single exit 3'' and havent looked back, just need to fill the hole on the other side of the bumper..but, any muffler shop should beable to make your exhaust, just be sure to tell them you want it as straight as possible.

OK GREAT I FEEL A LOT BETTER. now im starting to think i remember this guy that my dad went to all the time when he had the mod fever ha its called evolution customs im pretty sure the guy worked on imports for 30 some years before he started this business. so i think ill go to him unless u still think i should go to a muffler shop?

and i dont plan on boosting for a while anyway....i need to get that cash flow although i am inheriting 1,000 and ill be able to spare another thousand with that so do u think there is a turbo kit for 2 g's out there?

Well, I wish it was all straight through but its not. You could weld a straight through pipe if you are not planning to lower the car. I say that because once you lower it, youl'd be scraping the pipes where ever you drive hehehehee... You'll have to make due on how the car is designed underneath where the OEM muffler flows.

Good luck.

well when you go to an exhaust shop that does custom jobs, they WILL make it as straight as possible...they do know that bends suck! Go look up on the link above or head over to planetsoarer, they have extensive article on this including how much power gains you should be expecting.

If you really want a full 3'' cat back, I would go to a muffler shop.

As for the turbo kit, you can go with the XS Power kit (PM 98mkiv over on clubna-t.com), its $1700 if I remember correctly, or piece your own kit together..my complete na-t setup with gauges, and safc-2 cost me less than $1500.

pm me if you have any questions and I will help you out.
