SC400 Supercharged. It's not pretty, I welded it myself having never welded anything before in my life. Works and sounds good though!

No cats, IMF (formally EK Tuning) headers, 2.5 inch mandrel, 1 Magnaflow tru-x dual in / out and 2 Magnaflow straight threw mufflers in the rear.

1JZGTE on stock twins.
3" downpipe and midpipe
Y-pipe is 3" until it splits to 2.5" pipes
5Zigen Fireball Mega axle backs 2.5" inlet 4.5" tips
All mandrel bent piping.
No resonators or cats
Pretty loud. Made a huge difference in power.

Downpipe and midpipe was done by Kiko Engineering. Y-pipe back was done by Bonzai Performance.

Removed mufflers and welded piping in its place with the stock tips on the new piping. Removed the center cat too.

Side view... mufflers look completely stock.


They're 5x9, 3" double offset, and fit perfectly in the OEM location. Numbers are in my sig so you can see they flow very well, and they sound great, too. The double offset configuration also makes it easy to get 3" piping around the rear sway bar that otherwise would be difficult with an on-center muffler.

Add a nice exhaust tip, and no one will ever know...

Thank god for useful threads.

 

That's nice motorheaddown. Where did you get the tips from? I'll probably be getting these mufflers on my car.

Good question! I looked high and low for 3" OEM-looking tips, but couldn't find anything on-line. Believe it or not, the local muffler shop had them: Joe's Muffler in Addison, TX. I gave him the 4" DP/MP including a 4" to 3" Y-pipe and the mufflers, and he did the rest. Joe is a one-man shop, and he did a fantastic job. He even utilized all the existing hanger locations using the OEM insulators.

EDIT:
I had to pull the exhaust to get the pumpkin out; I'm installing a TRD LSD. It gave me an opportunity to take pics of the exhaust off the car.

Here's the major piece behind the midpipe - 4" to dual 3" running Vibrant Performance 1127s. And yes, the 3" piping is press bent; however, it flows fine. Plus, it's cheaper to fabricate:


Here's the Y-pipe. I had Burns Stainless fab it up:


The tips are 3" coming straight off outlet of the mufflers:


It's hard to see, but this is a view down the throat of the muffler. It's a very smooth transition from the muffer internal 3" tube on both the inlet and outlet:

does any1 have experience with greddy evo3 catback or tanabe medallion?
I'm shopping for an exhaust for my sc4

 

Single turbo set-up with 3" downpipe. 3" midpipe to a magnaflow Y pipe with twin 2 1/2" pipes to the set of Borla ss muffs and tips. Looks great, sounds awesome and reduced turbo lag by a ton.

 

Old pic before JIC kit. Turbo back to magnaflows then Greddy (no cats).

 

Señorita!

Oh and yeah nice exhaust..

 

What exhaust?

 

Do you have another back shot, with the hottie back as well?
