They're the Megan's that have been around for a while. I've usually seen them between $160-$180.

The figs are about the same price range. The economy version is about the same price and the motorsports version is a few dollars more..

----
And OP, the car is look good. Seems to be coming along nicely. Any pics of the exhaust work done between the turbo and the rear section? did you mod a supra midpipe/downpipe like others have done or get a complete new one made?

The rods are actually top speed. $100 on ebay. Cant reallly beat it for price and it looks to be quality. Im installing them soon so we'll see...lol

I actually did both as far as downpipes go lol. I got a custom one made and it was only 2.5" piping and it had a flange rigged up to work on the odd 3 bolt jdm turbo. I also had a SS Supra 3" downpipe. I gave it to my buddy to fab up and it came out perfect. Thats what is on the car now. I dont have any pics of the 3" on my car but ill snap some next time im down there. I have my 2.5 downpipe in my storage if anyone is interested in it.
