Default Best sc300 Exhaust

I want something that flows well and sounds great (NO RICE AKA FART PIPES) this car is elegant and i would like for it to sound deeper and louder. Also what size piping would you suggest along with what header? IM looking for a quality system that will provide a little noticeable increase but im really after the sound. I dont want a dodge hemi sound, but i also dont want a honda civic sound! A nice deep, loud, unobnocsious sproty sound is my goal. Thanks for all of you help!

aka something like a 350z/g35 sound or a porsche sound....

NA- 2.25" should be good
Turbo- 3"+

Blitz Nur Spec's sound really elegant on the NA SC300. First hand experience.

Default Check out the JIC exhaust at Carson Toyota

I like my set-up. Very nice sound at WOT.

I've been really pleased with my Greddy dual exhaust for the SC300... mine is turbo'ed but fitment should be the same.... looks almost stock, just a bit bigger outlet pipes.... definitely not rice-rocket sounding, but when you hit the starter, you know there's an engine under the hood!

What kind of greddy exhaust is that? SP2? What size was the piping on those and how much were they? I am really close to getting another kind right now and yours just caught my eye

i had a greddy on my old sc300..and i had it on there n/a and then turbo...both ways the car sounded awesome.... a nice rumble but not to loud at all...since it has dual resonators and dual mufflers it keeps it pretty quiet but adds nice performance and awesome sound...
i highly reccommend it...

Nur spec sounds very nice, but IMHO it's too loud. Reminds me of my old n/a rx-7 with header-back exhaust. Sets off car alarms cruising through my neighborhood at 2000rpm.

Deuce, If I had a camera I'd record a video/sound clip for you, I think if I put on a presilencer it would sound very good.

You have the Nur Spec on your SC and it selts off alarms? I can barely hear mine. Are you running an otherwise stock exhaust? Still got your resonators, cats, small pipes, etc, etc?

Hmmm, I'm not sure, I just bought the car a little over a week ago, as far as I know it's stock. I know it has the cat on, because it just passed smog. Ill check later.

I love my dual Apex Dunks on my NA SC300, stock header, then 3" pipe till Y pipe, then 2 2½ pipes to my dunks, so, basically, I only have one cat and two large mufflers.

at idle is quiet, really quiet, but anywhere more than 30% throttle will start open up...mine can sound like a club car if I let off from high RPM..
