Default GS300 Catback on an SC300???

Is it possible, they have some nice looking bolt on cat-backs for the GS on ebay, but none for the SC at all.

im not sure if im allowed to link it but here is a picture.
all manderel bent + tig welded, all for under 500 shipped.

my instinct says it won't fit, but I have seen weirder things.

If all it takes to fit is cutting some length out of the mid-pipe section or an equal amount out of both sides of the split section and clamping it up/welding it might be worth looking into.

Im really hoping someone has some dimensions to throw at me here.

I can't find a reasonable exhaust shop to weld up my mufflers, so it would actually be cheaper for me to buy a bolt on affair (sounds odd doesn't it).

Mounts may or may not fit, but the piping at least has the correct orientation. I remember someone telling me the GS was related to the SC/Supra chassis, but I can't find the info now.

They are both RWD and use similar/same pumpkins, so its possible the piping will route around what its supposed to.

yeah, heres a pic of underneath my car.
it looks like it goes the way you would want it to if you didnt want to use any resonators. Just staring at it It looks like it should fit.

anyone out there with a gs wanna measure their exhaust??

Did you get a chance to test this?

nope, I don't think the lengths are the same so I doubt it will bolt up, but might be close with some modification.. not really sure.
I ended up finding a SC exhaust locally at the time.
