I hope you can fill in the cutout in your rear bumper if you do choose the single pipe route.

any supra exhaust should work if you add some piping to it.

No the supra TT exhaust will not work on the SC unless you scrap the piping. You have to either buy one made for the soarer, or you have to have one custom fabbed. Me personally, I bought the R*SR GT2 exmag for the supra to fit on my SC. It did not fit the way i wanted it, The piping was close, but it needed custom work to be done to it. Basically i had to scrap the piping, and kept the rear section of the muffler and got larger custom pipes put on.

Do a search about the supra exhaust here in the engine forums and you will come up with a couple of threads about it

DO NOT BUY A SUPRA TT EXHAUST, it will not work unless you do some custom fabbing!

I have the Apexi N1 cat back and dump pipe on my Soarer as well as a Kakimoto Racing test pipe. It doesnt sound too bad, but the 1JZ exhaust manifold(s) doesnt help any

You do not have to scrap the supra exhaust, just add some piping. Im even using the stock hangers on my Apexi N1

would be nice if the pics worked, but from my experiance with the RSR exhaust, the hangers dont line up, and the piping was slightly off.
