thanks guys

magnaflows sound really nice...kind like the G35 exhaust on steriods. Not farty like some rice exhaust cans.

I got the exhausts for $180 shipped from hottexhausts.com and got them installed with piping for $120.



nick -
without the resonators, it is kinda loud for my taste. I might pick up some aftermarket resonators or something. I'll get a video clip this coming week. Can anybody host a <10mb video for me? TIA

Thanks for the inspiration! I think I'm the third one with these now on here? They get TONS of looks! Thanks for helping me make a good decision on these! I was going to go with Volks, but these were cheaper and less likely to be stolen.

they look great markesc! these rims give the SC a nice, updated OEM look. All you need is a nice drop. now we have these rims on a black, white and platinum silver SC

I think the mpg improved slighty with the exhaust, but I think the improvement in mpg was minimal with the heavier rims. A BFI should help improve mpg alot.

SC owners with black interior make me furiously jealous and want the black interior badly.

Thanks!

I'll have to thank you though because I got the idea from on here! I believe that these are the best choice unless you wanna drop 3k on volks including tires.... My other question is will these work with either the LS400 or Supra Brakes? or even big brake kits? such as stoptech, or even brembo's if I want to go all out??

I still think whomever designed the brakes on these cars was smoking crack!

Funny you should ask....I installed the LS400 brakes on the car a few weeks ago. The GS430 WILL clear the big brakes....but barely. I'll take some pix and post them this weekned.
